In brief: GDSN is a global GS1 network that enables manufacturers and retailers to exchange standardized product master data. The data is provided in certified data pools and synchronized with recipients.
Major retailers require data via GDSN, particularly in the grocery, drugstore, home improvement, DIY and healthcare sectors. Mandatory information such as ingredients, allergens, dimensions and packaging data must strictly comply with the standard.
A PIM system provides the data, maps it to GDSN attributes and validates it. Many PIM systems offer ready-made connectors to data pools for this purpose.

PIM KNOWLEDGE
PIM specializes in marketing and product data; MDM covers all master data (customers, products, suppliers). PIM solves your e-commerce challenges quickly and efficiently.
Headless commerce decouples frontend and backend for maximum flexibility. An API-based PIM is the essential data source that supplies every channel in real time.
PIM is just a tool; data governance is the instruction manual. Without clear rules and roles, poor data quality undermines efforts to scale digitally.
PIM manages data (the facts), while PXM creates experiences (the emotions). PXM is a customer-focused strategy built on the foundation of a PIM system.
PIM consulting is not a lead-in to selling software licences: what a consultant actually contributes to selection and implementation, three situations where external support helps, and how to choose the right consultant.
AI is revolutionising PIM, from automatic categorisation to text generation. Discover how to dramatically speed up your product data workflows.
Product data (PIM) and images (DAM) belong together. Integration is the key to automation and a seamless customer experience.
What does a PIM really deliver? ROI is the key: measurable cost savings and faster time-to-market make the investment profitable.
PIM systems are the key to efficient listing on marketplaces such as Amazon. Can they ensure consistent, automated product data management?
