How is the GS1 System related to data synchronization and the Electronic Product Code™?
A. The GS1 System provides the standards for globally unique physical identification (such as products, shipping containers/cartons, assets, and locations) and the electronic communication of that information (such as purchase orders and shipping notices). Data synchronization and Electronic Product Code (EPC) technology use these same standards to identify both the item, asset, or container and the physical locations as it moves through the supply chain.
