GS1järjestö

GS1järjestö is the Finnish member organization of the global GS1 system. GS1 is a not-for-profit organization that develops and maintains global standards for business communication. These standards are used by businesses of all sizes across various industries to identify, capture, and share information about products, services, and locations. The most well-known GS1 standard is the barcode, which allows for the unique identification of products at the point of sale and throughout the supply chain.

GS1järjestö provides Finnish businesses with access to these global standards and offers services to help them implement them effectively. This includes issuing Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) for product identification, Global Location Numbers (GLNs) for location identification, and other identification keys. They also offer training and support to ensure companies can leverage GS1 standards to improve efficiency, traceability, and data accuracy in their operations. The organization plays a crucial role in facilitating smoother business transactions and enabling digital transformation within the Finnish commercial landscape. Their work supports industries ranging from retail and healthcare to manufacturing and logistics, promoting interoperability and standardized data exchange.
