Give your customers the product data they need—at the moment they need it.
For a distributor to do their job correctly and ensure the operator is happy, they need to know exactly what they are purchasing before doing so. They need to see the nutritionals, know if there are allergens like peanuts or gluten in the product, and understand the item's pack size.
This is where GDSN comes into play. We've found the best way to share product information is through the GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network™ (GDSN®).
GDSN is a network of data pools that work together to share real-time data with subscribing partners. In short, this means that when you update your product information via your GS1-certified data pool (click here for a full list), those details are automatically shared and updated elsewhere, like on our ecommerce website.
