STEP GDSN Receiver User Guide
The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) is an internet-based global network and global registry that
enables secure and continuous data synchronization between one or more trading partners. This connection is
made via a network of interoperable GS1-certified data pools.
GS1 is an international organization that develops and maintains the GDSN standards.
A company can both be a provider of a data pool and a subscriber to a data pool. When a company make changes
to a data pool, the changes are automatically available to all subscribing trading partners.
By subscribing to data pools, you can reduce the time you would otherwise spend on manually entering and
maintaining information.
