As part of the GDSN, you've already seen how data synchronisation enables significant efficiencies in logistics, accounting, customer service and inventory management by reducing, and often even eliminating, supply chain disruptions.

But have you considered how GDSN also opens the door to a multitude of new opportunities and business benefits?

When you have confidence in the information you're sending to and receiving from your trading partners, many other collaborative actions and new ways of working together are possible.

Data synchronisation enables many innovative programmes that can help maximise marketing efforts, revolutionise promotions and transform corporate management.

• Enable powerful corporate reporting, easily and quickly
• Make global sourcing a reality
• Eliminate expensive redundancies in the IT system and internal business processes
• Eliminate impractical manual workarounds
• Create the possibility for data sharing
• Expand your supplier base
• Put an end to many time-consuming processes and manual forms

• Establish transparency in sourcing and pricing

An abundance of ingenious ideas and inventive projects are possible, now that you're part of the Global Data Synchronisation Network!

Data synchronisation is also a foundation for electronic collaborative commerce initiatives such as the Electronic Product Code™ (EPC). The GS1 EPCglobal Network™ relies on the accurate data exchanged through global data synchronisation. Learn more about GS1 EPCglobal.

“We started our program to take advantage of the GS1 Global Data Synchronisation Network by establishing a vision: We said that when we were finished, our trading partners would be using the same information to manage their day-to-day business as we used internally.”
