Data Synchronization Standards

Data synchronization is the foundation of e-commerce. It ensures that all partners in the supply chain have access to meaningful information that supports inventory management, order fulfillment, and warehouse operations. When a data component changes, that change is reflected in the information that all supply chain partners receive. GS1 Canada manages ECCnet Registry, Canada's national product registry, which allows industry to maintain accurate, synchronized product data in one central location. Data synchronization is also a prerequisite for leading technologies such as Electronic Product Code™ / Radio Frequency Identification (EPC/RFID).
