Manage/Validate UPC Product Data

An Assigned GS1 Consultant Is Checking Your Work Along The Way!

Barcode symbols, such as a UPC barcode, simply encode the numeric digits of the UPC (GTIN-12). The actual corresponding UPC product data and price reside in the databases of their respective retailer trading partners. Amazon, Wal-Mart, and other retailers create portals or use data templates to obtain UPC product data from their suppliers.

The final step for UPC implementation involves recording UPC product data so the information can be shared with other industry tools and retailers. All GS1 Barcode Service automatically includes access to GTIN.Cloud^®which is the global brand-managed portal for UPC product data. Since the GS1 standards and web tools do not allow GTINs to be reused or re-assigned, it is prudent to have UPC product data validated for accuracy before publishing to global registries.

Aside from access to GTIN.Cloud^® repository, another benefit of correctly licensing a UPC Company Prefix or GTIN is a limited subscription to an optional online tool called the Data Hub. All entered information on GTIN.cloud can be imported in the Data Hub and is visible online too, Verified by GS1, that provides retailers with validation services. The GTIN.Cloud^® repository is also used by retailers and Amazon to validate entered GTINs to view product information and also uploaded GS1 Licensing Certificates.

As part of GS1 Barcode Service/Support packages, our GS1Barcode Consultants personally assist members in managing AND validating the information before published on GTIN.Cloud^®.
