GDSN Principles

GDSN is the GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network, which connects trading partners to the GS1 Global Registry® via a network of interoperable GDSN-certified data pools. Within this network, trade items are identified using a unique combination of the GS1 identification keys called Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN) and Global Location Numbers (GLN).

There are five simple steps that allow trading partners to synchronize item, location and price data with each other:

• Load Data: The seller registers product and company information in its data pool

• Register Data: A small subset of this data is sent to the GS1 Global Registry

• Request Subscription: The buyer, through its own data pool, subscribes to receive a seller’s information

• Publish Data: The seller’s data pool publishes the requested information to the buyer’s data pool

• Confirm & Inform: The buyer sends a confirmation to the seller via each company’s data pool, which informs the supplier of the action taken by the retailer using the information
