WHAT IS GS1 ?
» GS1 is a not-for-profit organisation whose job is to help our members implement global supply chain standards for unique identification , data capture and data sharing between trading partners . GS1 US is part of GS1 global and is the largest of the 116 member organisations .
TELL US ABOUT YOUR ROLE AT GS1 US
» I lead the Innovation & Partnerships team . We look at how emerging technology can support supply chain business processes to drive positive business outcomes . Before GS1 I was working in supply chain on data management and software , and also spent time in various supply chain and consulting roles .
When I first joined GS1 US , I was leading our apparel and general merchandise industry engagement group , working with leading brand manufacturers , retailers and other trading partners to help them assess how leveraging global standards can build consumer trust and deliver improved supply chain efficiency .
WHY IS GS1 IMPORTANT ?
» GS1 Standards create a common foundation for business by identifying , accurately capturing and automatically sharing vital information about products , locations , assets and more , in a consistent , repeatable way that scales across industries .
If stakeholders have different processes and systems , straightforward information sharing can waste time and be highly susceptible to human error .
