GDSN® Initiative

• GDSN facilitates transfer of product data attributes that would otherwise require intensive manual effort to collect.
• GDSN enables the providing of product images that allow our members to find and review your products in our online catalog (SCA).
• GDSN provides a feedback loop for attribute correction that benefits all data subscribers.
• Access to and utilization of Unique Device Identification (UDI) numbers helps drive efficiencies and standards throughout the supply chain.
