Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN)
The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) is the world's largest product data
network. GDSN makes it possible for any company, in any market, to share product information
seamlessly.
How GDSN Works
With GDSN, your product data 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.
If you do not already have a GDSN data pool provider and need to send or receive product information, you can take
advantage of GDSN by subscribing to the GS1 Canada GDSN data pool. Your GS1 Canada data pool will enable you to set
up your product content and synchronize it with all your trading partners, so you can plug in reliable data for all
markets at one time.
GS1 Canada's GDSN data pool is also interoperable with ECCnet Registry.
GDSN Business Benefits:
- Share real-time product content with all trading partners simultaneously
- Decrease data time and costs
- Eliminate manual processes and reduce errors
- Bring new products to market quickly and easily
- Enable brand transparency to consumers and patients
