PRODUCT DESCRIPTION DEMATERIALIZATION
Product descriptions were introduced in response to producers' need to optimise their exchanges of product information with the mass-market retail chains. The dual aim was to reduce the administrative costs of maintaining product databases and to optimize processes with partners to avoid errors and disputes.
What is the GS1 product description?
"This is an electronic message in which a product manufacturer provides partners with all the information relating to the product. The list of properties making up the description is invariable and is governed by the GS1 standard."
What is GDSN?
"GDSN® is a network offering a single point of entry for the synchronization of product descriptions." For the manufacturer, it means "publish once, circulate to all", and for the distributor "subscribe once, receive from all."
What is an electronic catalog?
"Electronic catalogs or e-catalogs, communication-enabled thanks to GS1/GDSN (Global Data Synchronization Network) international certification, allow suppliers and their partners to exchange product descriptions in real time. This guarantees that product information is the most recent available."
