Connections

GS1

By connecting the GS1 data pool to Pimmix, the standardized and enriched data from GS1 is automatically kept up to date in Pimmix. Instead of a one-time enrichment, a continuous data flow is used to make the most of this dynamic data exchange. Pimmix then offers the flexibility to further edit or overwrite this data where needed. Thanks to multi-source technology, both the automatic data flow and manual adjustments are preserved. Users can easily switch between these options at the item level, ensuring maximum control and flexibility.

With their established rules and systems, they help businesses operate more efficiently and provide consumers with safe and reliable products. Let’s take a closer look at GS1’s mission and impact in the global trading environment.
