In common parlance, many people know the GTIN as a barcode, but technically the GTIN is the number below the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

When selling products such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices, you may find that those you supply products to want product master data sent electronically. This means that you need to send one set of data to a region, another to a municipality and a third to an agency. In GS1Trade Sync, you can register product master data and have this information sent to all relevant partners at the same time.
When selling medical devices to the US, you must provide product master data to the GUDID database. There you must provide information such as the product's UDI-DI, quantity, product description, serial number, etc. This is information you can register as product master data and send electronically via GS1Trade Sync.
When selling medical devices to the EU, you must provide product master data to the EUDAMED database. Eventually, this will also be a process that GS1Trade Sync will support.
The public sector also uses your GS1Trade Sync data. Nutritional data for food is used in municipalities and regions to put together the right diet for vulnerable citizens who need a specific amount of energy in their food. This is done through dietary nutrition programs that work with GS1Trade Sync data.
The regions' joint strategy for supply logistics also plans to implement GDSN through GS1Trade Sync to ensure data information on package size, which allows the regions to dimension in a more optimal way both in warehouses, central depots and departmental depots.
The Central Denmark Region is currently focusing on getting more data on implants into their processes with GDSN, which the other regions in Denmark are following closely.
