Why joining GS1 is a must

One identification system, two million companies

GTIN, barcodes, EDI

• A GTIN (also known as EAN or UPC) for every product
• An associated barcode that automates and accelerates transactions
• A shared basis for EDI exchanges between customers and suppliers
• Compliance and traceability requirements met by design
