About GS1
Selling a product starts with a GS1 barcode number
The sound of a beep at the checkout counter. The GS1 barcode launched a digital revolution that forever changed the way the world does business. With a simple scan a product could be identified and connected to a computerised system.
Companies of all sizes need barcode numbers to correctly identify and sell their products in stores or online. The power of the data captured through the barcode is helping to solve large and complex industry challenges.

Global impact of GS1
When people think of GS1, the first thing that often comes to mind is the barcode—a simple, rectangular strip of black and white lines. It’s what makes the checkout process at your local grocery store so smooth and is universally recognised by retailers and consumers alike.
The assumption is that GS1’s role in the supply chain is primarily about issuing these barcodes, which are tied to unique product identifiers, or Global Trade Identification Numbers (GTINs).
However, this view misses the broader, far more impactful role GS1 plays in modern commerce.
