Partner Connections Benefits

Make the most of your GS1 Company Prefix with Partner Connections

With the Partner Connections program you receive:

Your GS1 Company Prefix, the number you need to create your U.P.C. barcodes and other unique identifiers such as the Global Location Number (GLN) and Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC).

These unique numbers identify your company and products in the supply chain, enabling important data to be captured and shared with trading partners. The result: fewer out-of-stocks, more satisfied retailers, and happier customers. The identification numbers also make product traceability more accurate and efficient in the case of a product recall.
  
Access to Exclusive Resources:
