Despatch Advices (or ASNs), containing Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs), Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) and corresponding product information, are sent to the retailer. Inventory and delivery information is stored in the Warehouse Management System.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processes are sychronised, payments are processed and orders are managed. The Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN) is used to exchange data. Real-time information can also be shared using GS1 EPC Information Services (EPCIS).
