Transport & logistics is the golden thread connecting suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, and consumers, ensuring the seamless flow of goods throughout the supply chain. With the sector becoming increasingly advanced, adapting to global market dynamics and complexities has become crucial. This necessitates the need for transparency in vital shipment information – specifically, what the shipment is, where exactly in the supply chain, how it's being transported, why it's being shipped, and when it is due to arrive – among all supply chain stakeholders.
By implementing GS1 standards, the transport & logistics sector is able to obtain accurate answers to each of these questions. Supply chain stakeholders gain enhanced visibility through standardised, structured, and interoperable flow of information, which in turn empowers businesses. This enables the sector and teams across, to focus on how to use information rather than how to get information.
