Two healthcare purchasing organisations now share a greater volume of medical product information with their members

By deploying catalogues that call upon the GS1 Global Data Synchronisation Network (GS1 GDSN®), two Group Purchasing Organisations (GPOs) in France have made it fast and easy for healthcare sector manufacturers to make more of their products available to hospitals, nursing homes and pharmacies.

Many suppliers in the global healthcare sector need to manage a huge number of product references—from 5,000 up to 10,000 or more for a single manufacturer. Companies in this sector also must respect a range of frequently changing regulatory requirements, some of which are designed to create a harmonised and consistent approach to product identification.
