Our business
What we do
We are the local administrators for the internationally recognised GS1 System
, now used by over one million member companies in virtually every sector of the global economy.
The GS1 System makes possible the identification of all trade items, processes, services, shipments, assets, companies and locations to facilitate communication, data collection and exchange of information in the interest of trading partners.
As the Australian authority for the GS1 System, we issue our members with unique GS1 Company Prefixes
used to form numbers that are most commonly shown in barcodes on products, and are also used in electronic messages such as orders, invoices and despatch advices.
To ensure the effective use of the GS1 System, we also provide implementation and support to Australian businesses and industries through a wide range of member services.
These include:
- Training on standards and supply chain management
- Barcode Verification
and
Accreditation
- Industry and professional advice on supply chain management
- GS1net™ (online data synchronisation catalogue)
- Access to our Alliance Partner Community
