Data synchronisation service accepts its 2000th registration

The National Product Catalogue (formerly EANnet and GS1net) is GS1 Australia’s data synchronisation solution that helps businesses exchange standardised supply chain data including product details, pricing and marketing-related information with their trading partners. Started in 1997, the service has just welcomed its 2000th registration.

GS1 Australia is currently one of the top three largest Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN) data pools, with over 1.1 million Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) from 2000 user organisations, split evenly across the food and beverage and healthcare sectors.

John Hearn, GS1 Australia’s head of data & digital content services, said, “The National Product Catalogue service has been around for 20 years and has constantly evolved and been enhanced to meet the data-hungry needs of today’s e-commerce, supply chain and digital channels. Support for the country-of-origin labelling requirements and enhanced user interface are just some of the recent service enhancements.

“With 2000 active users, we have a thriving National Product Catalogue community that relies on the service to underpin trade between suppliers and buyers, covering identification, logistical, compliance, pricing and consumer-facing data requirements.”

“Hitting the 2000 subscriber mark is a significant milestone, highlighting not only positive growth but the continued success of the service,” added Hearn.

The National Product Catalogue is an extremely successful data synchronisation solution, providing suppliers and data recipients with the functionality and usability they need to achieve objectives.
