GTIN

GTIN is a globally standardised number used for the unique identification of trade items. It belongs to the GS1 standard and is used primarily in barcode systems for automatic identification. In the RFID environment, it often forms the basis for the Electronic Product Code when products need to be captured not only at item level but also automatically within digital processes. It helps to assign items clearly across systems and to process data consistently in merchandise management, warehousing and the supply chain. GTIN creates a uniform item identification across suppliers, customers and other partners in the supply chain so that all parties use the same basis for data exchange.
