The New Item Setup Listing Process

Data Excellence

• Our commitment to data excellence ensures bilingual product data is perpetually cleansed and updated, increasing accuracy and building trust between trading partners. Processes such as brand owner certification, system validations, real-time updates and GTIN discrepancy reporting enable everyone along the supply chain to access the reliable data they need to fuel their business processes.

One-to-Many

• Our one-to-many approach ensures product data is loaded once, then efficiently shared with all of your selected trading partners from one place, at the same time, across multiple sectors. This removes the need to re-enter information for each new trading partner or every time your product information needs updating. This removes the need to access multiple proprietary trading partner portals individually, saving significant time and resources.

ECCnet Registry

• With bilingual product information for over 600,000 products, our ECCnet Registry is Canada’s largest global standards-based product registry, created specifically to meet the needs of Canadian industry. There are over 200,000 brand owner driven content updates every year, enabling GS1 Canada to consistently deliver the highest level of data excellence for all subscribers.

Critical Mass Adoption

• Industry protocols ensure adoption of one centralized, non-proprietary industry solution to a common non-competitive business process issue. When one standardized way of working is adopted across the entire supply chain, all trading partners experience simplified business processes, increased efficiency, decreased costs, increased quality and a greater ease of doing business.

Standardized Content

• Ensure brand consistency and quality by sharing one set of standardized and certified product data with multiple trading partners. Standardized content also ensures interoperability across systems, as well as visibility and traceability throughout the entire supply chain.

Increased Accuracy and Operational Efficiency

• Manual order taking and inventory management can be inaccurate and lead to costly errors. With our ECCnet New Item Setup solution, you can accurately track orders, inventory and manufacturing requirements, reducing the possibility of overstocks, out-of-stocks and shrinkage. You can also increase speed-to-market, save significant resources and improve consistency across all trading partners by replacing manual, repetitive processes and paperwork with one centralized electronic industry solution.
