Distribution Operations

GS1 standards in action

Validated customer Global Location Numbers (GLNs) are collected and stored. Barcodes with Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs) and Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) are scanned and used to verify receipt of cases and pallets. With the GS1-128, companies can improve traceability of fresh products and enhance their distribution operations. Data is shared via the Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN) and standards-based EDI messages. Real-time information can be shared using GS1 EPC Information Services (EPCIS).
