GS1 Hanger

GS1 is a global non-profit organization that develops and maintains standards for supply and demand chains across multiple industries. These standards help ensure the efficient and accurate exchange of information between businesses, enabling better visibility, traceability, and collaboration throughout the supply chain.

One of the most well-known standards developed by GS1 is the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), which is used to uniquely identify products and items in the supply chain. The GTIN is often encoded in barcodes, such as the ubiquitous UPC (Universal Product Code) found on most retail products.

GS1 also develops standards for other aspects of supply chain management, including product identification, data synchronization, electronic data interchange (EDI), and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.

Overall, GS1 plays a crucial role in helping businesses streamline their operations, improve efficiency, and enhance the customer experience through standardized and interoperable supply chain practices.
