The use of GS1 eCom standards, such as GS1 EANCOM or GS1 XML, supports a standardized and predictable structure of the electronic business message, enabling business partners to communicate business data rapidly, efficiently and accurately irrespective of their internal hardware and software. In addition, they do not have to align the format and structure of the messages. Instead, they can use the standard format.
The GS1 eCom standards are widely used all over the world and constitute a key component of just-in-time manufacturing and quick response customer-supplier links.
