Continued progress in
the Global Data Synchronization Network
24 data pools certified according
to new GS1 standards
BRUSSELS,
BELGIUM, January 8, 2007 –
GS1 GDSN (Global Data Synchronization Network) continues its steady growth. The
GDSN is a global, Internet-based solution that enables suppliers and retailers to
synchronize product data, resulting in a single view of master product data across
the supply chain. Hence, companies quickly realise cost savings and increased efficiency.
Benefits include decreased invoice disputes, reduced order discrepancies, reduced
shipping errors, lower transportation costs, faster speed to market for new products,
and fewer out-of-stocks.
GS1 has introduced
a new standard for interoperability between data pools and the GS1 Global Registry:
BMS 2.1 (Business Message Standard version 2.1) for Item Synchronisation. GS1 GDSN,
Inc. is pleased to announce that 24 data pools will be offering solutions compliant
with this new standard. The certification tests were performed by the Drummond Group
Inc, a leading interoperability and conformance testing company.
“Certified data pools offer a single point of access for companies to leverage the
benefits of the GS1 Global Registry. Together we operate the GDSN which allows companies
to increase efficiency and lower the costs of operating their supply chain "
said Sally A. Herbert, President GS1 GDSN, Inc
GDSN certified data
pools include both data pools operated by independent solution providers and data
pools operated by GS1 Member Organizations.
