What is Data Synchronization?

Data Synchronization is an industry-wide supply chain initiative that was initiated by the Uniform Code council now GS1 to resolve product data inaccuracies among trading partners. By keeping the data clean and accurate, you and your trading partners will see reductions in inventory, faster payments received, fewer product returns and therefore, will set the stage for future supply chain initiatives.
