Trade, today, poses many challenges to retailers. Considering the large volumes of goods that they deal with, product authentication across the supply chain is a significant challenge for retailers and e-tailers. Supply chain efficiency is defined by real-time product visibility in the supply chain of product movements. Considering that trade today transcends national boundaries, they also need universally unique identification of products. GTIN One such solution is the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), the most commonly used GS1 identification key. Used to uniquely identify products , the GTIN has relevance at all stages of the supply chain, including primary packaging (consumer unit), secondary (inner packing), and tertiary (carton/pallet), and more.
