Please use the following guide to help ensure your eSubmission content meets required specifications.
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) is an automated electronic loading method for sharing content with your trading partners. It does this via an Application Protocol Interface (API), which lets different computer systems directly talk to each other to transfer content, in this case to and from GS1 Canada’s The Vault – eCommerce.
With the M2M option, content flows directly into The Vault – eCommerce directly in a certified state and is distributed to trading partners immediately.
Contact your GS1 Canada account manager to discuss our M2M option. If you have questions, please have a look at our M2M Fact Sheet and FAQ.
