GS1 GDSN
When product information is accessible and accurate, your business wins.
The GS1 Global Data Synchronisation Network (GS1 GDSN) is the world's largest product data network.
GS1 GDSN makes it possible for any company, in any market, to share high-quality product information seamlessly. Because companies of all sizes need the same thing—timely and reliable product information—to ultimately benefit consumers and patients.
Why was it created?
Any company that needs to send or receive product information can take advantage of GS1 GDSN by subscribing to a data pool. Your data pool will enable you to set up your product content and synchronise it with all your trading partners, so you can plug in reliable data for all markets at one time. With GS1 GDSN®, high-quality product content is uploaded, maintained and shared automatically, ensuring trading partners have immediate access to the most current and complete information needed to exchange products on both local and global markets. Data updates usually come through e-mails, fax and telephones and frequently individually for each partner, resulting in time consuming procedures, increase of operating cost and the possibility of human error.
The need for «data synchronization» leaded GS1 to the creation of Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN).

How GS1 GDSN works
With GS1 GDSN, high quality product content is uploaded, maintained and shared automatically, ensuring trading partners have immediate access to the most current and complete information needed to exchange products on both local and global markets.
Who participates?
Through GS1 GDSN Data Suppliers e.g brand owners, manufacturers, have the opportunity to share master product information, in a structured way and from a common global source, with all their business partners, who thus become Data Recipients. Data Recipients are automatically informed with all updates from their business partners and automatically receive notifications or changes of product data.

GS1 GDSN και GS1 Global Data Model
The GS1 Global Data Model (GDM) and Attribute Definitions for Business (ADB) standards enable greater data quality within the GS1 Global Data Synchronisation Network (GS1 GDSN). The GS1 Global Data Model standard defines a globally consistent set of foundational product attributes needed to list, order, store, move and sell products.
Implementing the GS1 Global Data Model standards within GS1 GDSN will improve data accuracy and completeness for consumers across their omnichannel purchasing journey, and increase operational efficiency for brand owners, retailers and data pools.
By providing a consistent business language and usage statements for these foundational attributes, the ADB standard clarifies sometimes difficult technical terminology, and helps data senders get their content right.
