Whether a company uses Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Extensible Markup Language (XML), GS1 Standards ensure efficient implementation and deployment.
EDI enables the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents between companies using a standard format. GS1 US supplies EDI guidelines that allow companies to get started and ensure they are integrating EDI practices and technology according to industry established standards.
XML enables the computer-to-computer exchange of business information between companies using XML schemas. The Global Standard Management Process (GSMP) continually maintains updated standards and implementation guidelines for this emerging technology.
