How It Works
We’re excited about partnering with 1SYNC and our customers to enhance the supply chain process through global data synchronization. By partnering with 1SYNC we can access the Global Data Synchronization Network® and establish one central source of product and party/location information to feed all of our systems with the same reliable information that is used by all of our supply chain partners. This will empower us and our partners with a highly efficient and automated process for ensuring that the information in that central source remains reliable, accurate, properly formatted, and up-to date.


Authorized Barcodes
Ensure you use authorized and unique GS1 US Company Prefixes to build your U.P.C barcode and Global Trade Item Numbers® (GTINs®). In the United States, GS1 US is the sole source of globally-unique GS1 Company Prefixes. Proper usage and formation of barcodes, and accurate product information ensure Data Quality, which is a pre-requisite in successfully improving supply chain efficiencies. Apply for a U.P.C. Company Prefix.
