Shipping and receiving

Standards in action

GS1 standards are used to identify logistics units (SSCCs), products (GTINs) and delivery locations (GLNs). Shipment information is captured on GS1 Logistics Labels and encoded into barcodes or EPC/RFID tags.

Data is shared via the Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN) and electronic EDI-messages. Real-time information is shared using the information services EPCIS.
