Company Overview

50 years ago, the GS1 barcode was created to transform grocery shopping and empower more reliable and resilient supply chains. Industry leaders came together to transform the way we shop and created the barcode. From that point forward, a simple scan at checkout connected a physical product to its digital identity—and information that could be shared in stores and throughout the supply chain. Since then, GS1 standards have powered more reliable and transparent supply chains across industries. In a world of growing data, GS1 standards give you a common language to uniquely identify, capture and share supply chain data—ensuring important information is accessible, accurate and easy to understand. With local Member Organisations in 112 countries, 1.5 million user companies and 6 billion transactions every day, GS1 standards create a foundation for businesses by automating and sharing vital information about products, locations, assets and more.
