What is a Supply Chain

Supply Chain Regulation & Compliance Standards

Supply chain standards and regulations play a crucial role in ensuring efficiency and safety. Standards information provides a framework for businesses to manage their supply chain processes and improve their overall performance. 
 
GS1 Standards provide a common language and help to create seamless work processes that allow businesses to identify, capture, and share information the same way all over the world. 
 
Through the power of GS1 Standards, organizations can use accurate, robust information that makes it possible for the right product to be in the right place at the right time, as well as allow consumers to find the products they are looking for.
