GS1 starters kit for suppliers in the DIY and Garden & Pet industry!

The Importance of Consistent Product Data:

Consistent and accurate product data is crucial because it determines how products are presented and sold. It influences customers’ purchasing decisions and the efficiency of the supply chain. Moreover, incorrect product information can lead to incorrect deliveries, customer dissatisfaction, and damage to the company’s image. Therefore, it is important for product data to be consistent, accurate, and up-to-date.

GS1 as the Standard for Product Data

Large, leading retailers in the DIY and Garden & Pet sectors use the GS1 data standard for structuring product information. However, suppliers in these sectors often face difficulties in collecting all the necessary data and transforming their internal product data to the GS1 data standard.
