ITN's Synchronization Enhanced and Extended to GS1's Global Network

GS1_75

Are you a supplier that wants to share your catalog globally with your trading partners both inside and outside ITN's network? Are you a retailer that wants a single point of access to products you purchase outside ITN's network too? ITN is working with GS1 on certification as a Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) data pool, providing customers with a "one-stop shop" to not only perform collaborative commerce with one another but receive and share the latest GS1 standards-compliant information.

Learn more about GS1, the GDSN and ITN's approach in the new ITN Synchronization and GS1 Resource Center. >>>

Using the same catalog publishing formats they use today with ITN, suppliers simply identify the buyers for their products and ITN automatically synchronizes the catalogs saving buyers and suppliers time and improving the accuracy of the buyers internal product catalogs.
