GTIN Validation service helps retailers and other data aggregators validate product GTINs quickly, accurately and efficiently. The service is powered by DataKart which is the national product data repository.
It is a great challenge for retailers and marketplaces to verify the barcode numbers they receive. Invalid GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers) or product barcode numbers pose significant problems such as data inconsistencies, transactional errors, inventory mismanagement, customer dissatisfaction, etc., to online and offline retailers. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the barcodes you receive from your suppliers/manufacturers/traders/sellers are authentic. This can be done by availing of GS1 India’s GTIN Validation service.
How does this work?
When a business enters a GTIN into GS1 India’s GTIN Validation portal, the service validates it against DataKart’s vast product database. DataKart contains data on millions of products that are sold daily through various online and offline retail channels. If the GTIN is valid, it displays all associated product details, such as the manufacturer’s information, product name, MRP, and other relevant data. This information is directly uploaded by brand owners into DataKart, ensuring that the product data is authentic and reliable.
Validating every product GTIN separately can be time-consuming; therefore, GS1 India provides a bulk GTIN Validation service to retailers/e-commerce marketplaces. As a retailer, you can send the list of GTINs (in Excel) to GS1 India for GTIN validation. This will help save you time, energy and resources, providing you with results almost instantly.
