Forty years ago, GS1 helped the grocery industry

develop the barcode.

for products

the information about that product at point of sale

Created to speed grocery store checkout and

improve inventory management

Laid the foundation for digital commerce

The next major stage in the evolution took place

almost fifteen years ago, with global data

synchronization through data pools and the Global

Data Synchronization NetworkTM (GDSN®).

could now automatically flow between many

trading partners

ecosystems
