Benefits of Membership

GSMP continually improves and enhances the GS1 System to enable uniform, globally applicable standards. The critically important factors that benefit our customers are: quality, speed, openness, consensus standards, and total user involvement.

 Benefits for your organisation include: 

  • Quality: GS1 represents a robust and stable set of business standards geared towards improving Supply Chain efficiency.
  • Speed: Today’s business leaders need to quickly react to customers demands. GSMP adheres to the same trends, guaranteeing minimum lead times between the submission of a request and the availability of the solution. 
  • Open Consensus Environment: GS1 produces global, open, freely implementable consensus standards that will bring about improvements in the supply chain. We strive to ensure that once a standard is adopted, it will not be claimed as intellectual property.
  • Total User Involvement: Companies, which are members of GS1, have direct access to GSMP and are closely supported by their local GS1 Member Organisation (MO) as they participate in the development of the next standard.
