Transport & Logistics

Transportation and Logistics plays a crucial role in the supply chain process and today no transport and logistics company can be efficient without robust information technology and data communication support.

GS1 has already developed the set of well-recognized standards for the Transport and Logistics sector. These solutions include Bar Coding and Communication standards:

        1.  Serial Shipment Container Code (SSCC), as unique identification of logistic units worldwide

      2.  Business message standards in XML and EANCOM formats

3. Number of application identifiers (AI) specifically developed for the identification of logistics units, including AI (401) Consignment number, AI (402) Shipment identification number, as well as AI’s related to identification of locations.

Transportation and Logistics companies get competitive advantage by applying the GS1 standards across their supply chain operations in terms of improved efficiency, increased visibility over the shipments flow, efficient handling and inventory management, increased security of distribution and speed of operations.
