Imagine trying to plan store shelf space with incorrect package dimensions. Possible results include products falling off shelves or in some cases, products not even making it onto the shelves.
The Package Measurement Rules (part of the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) suite of standards) were developed to help increase dimensional data accuracy – or accurate package measurements. Data accuracy is essential for data synchronization and the GDSN. The GDSN enables companies to exchange consistent, accurate, standardized data, and allows all trading partners to have the same accurate item information in their systems at the same time. GS1 US Dimensioning Services helps you meet this critical business need.
To help lower costs and improve efficiencies throughout the supply chain, Dimensioning Services offers several programs to help ensure that package measurements in the GDSN are continuously accurate as well as standards compliant. Audit services are available to retailers, Measurement services are available to suppliers, and a variety of package measurement training programs and services are available to both retailers and suppliers.
