E2open Offers GS1-Compliant Data Pool to Customers and Their Partners

E2open, the one place in the cloud to run your supply chain, today announced the E2open Global Data Pool. This Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) interoperable data pool meets the standards of GS1, a not-for-profit organization that develops and maintains global standards for business communication. The E2open Global Data Pool certification test was administered by Drummond Group Inc., the trusted leader in interoperability software testing.

Through the E2open Global Data Pool, customers and partners now have access to the GS1 GDSN, which is both a global registry and a network of interoperable data pools, directly from the E2open platform. The GDSN enables companies around the world to exchange standardized and synchronized supply chain data with their trading partners and assures that data exchanges are accurate and compliant with universally supported standards. E2open Global Data Pool is now one of only 43 such GDSN-certified data pools available worldwide.

“GS1 certification has been a long-term vision of ours. It furthers our mission of operating the largest global supply chain network in the world and using it to power our applications and deliver value to our customers,” said Pawan Joshi, executive vice president, products & strategy at E2open. “With the E2open Global Data Pool, anyone on our network can now automatically share authentic, trusted and standardized product information and communication between customers, partners and suppliers anywhere in the world, with superior data accuracy and efficiency.”

The E2open Global Data Pool enables customers and their partners to do the following and more:

  • Subscribe to the GS1 global item registry and synchronize related attributes
  • Process and enrich inbound and outbound data on the E2open network
  • Register global item locations, identifiers and attributes
  • Synchronize product data with a global trading community
  • Manage item and location data from a single platform

“We commend E2open for the completion of the GDSN Interoperability Certification and their commitment to securely and automatically transmit data in the universally supported GS1 system of standards,” Alan Hyler, director of GDSN and master data at GS1.
