GS1 develops and provides global supply chain data standards that help companies identify, capture and share information.

Find out how our identification, capturing and sharing standards and the common operating models based on them can, among other things, improve business processes, smooth the information flow in the supply chain and improve the customer experience.

With our standards and services, you can ensure that your products and deliveries are reliably identified, your product information is up-to-date and your deliveries are correctly labelled.

You must notify your trading partner of all deliveries of your products in the manner agreed upon with them. Many stores and wholesalers use electronic EDI messages to receive products and maintain product balances.

Before you can deliver – or sometimes even offer – your product to retailers and wholesalers, you need a GS1 product identifier for your product and a barcode on its packaging.

When you get your products into the store or wholesaler's assortment, you need to inform your trading partner of all the necessary information. GS1 Synkka makes it efficient and easy to share product information, images and documents.

All GS1 identifiers and barcodes are generated using the GS1 Company Prefix.

GS1 Finland collaborated with industry leaders on a development project to create a roadmap for implementing interoperable traceability solutions across Finland's food chain.

Together with food industry and retail trade companies, GS1 prepared a proposal how the GS1 2D code could be used when communicating products to consumers and thus facilitate consumers' access to product information.
