Order Fulfillment

GS1 standards in action

Despatch Advices (or ASNs), containing Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs), Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs for barcodes), SGTIN (Serialised GTIN for EPC/RFID-tagging) and corresponding product information, are sent to the retail store. Inventory and delivery information is stored in the Warehouse Management System. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processes are synchronised, payments are processed and orders are managed. Real-time information can be shared using GS1 EPC Information Services (EPCIS).
