Implementing Global Data Synchronization

WarehouseA paradigm shift is happening in the way supply chains perform. Those with the leanest supply chain and the most efficient means to execute their business gain a significant advantage. To make this happen, suppliers and retailers need to communicate in a more efficient manner by enabling collaborative electronic commerce.

The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) is a worldwide initiative intended to resolve product data inaccuracies by the synchronization of Item data between trading partners. Different versions of product information in the supply chain can cause serious business issues – and they increase every time information is manually processed. Companies using the GDSN only enter their product/item data once, in a single place, and can send/synchronize this data to multiple users, nationally and globally.

LANSA reduces the cost and complexity of GDSN compliance by providing an out-of-the-box business solution that makes it easy is to comply with GDSN mandates. Manufacturers can quickly fulfill retailer requests as well as benefit from the efficiency gains of end-to-end supply chain automation.
