• Even “Simple” supply chains have multiple touch points and handlers before reaching a final destination.
• Different actors may physically possess, but do not own, products (e.g. shipping)
• Complex supply chains, with multiple product owners, have a greater need to locate products and ensure they were sold through the proper channels.

GS1 eComGlobal standards for electronic business messagingRapid, efficient & accurate business data exchange
GS1 eCom
GS1 term used for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) technology, referring to the transfer of structured data, by agreed message standards, from one computer application to another, by electronic means and with a minimum of human intervention.
GS1 eCom provides two complementary standards for business messaging: EANCOM® and GS1 XML.

EANCOM®
In 1987, GS1 took the decision, in response to a demand from its members, to move to a sole GS1 electronic messaging standard - EANCOM® - on the basis of UN/EDIFACT. EANCOM® counts 52 messages covering Trade, Transport, and Finance and its actual propagated version is EANCOM®2002 Edition 2008 (based on the UN/EDIFACT D.01B Directory).
EANCOM® is live at more than 100.000 GS1 user companies in 43 countries.

GS1 XML
In 2001, the development of GS1 XML was started to complement EANCOM® and provide an option to regions where EANCOM® had not been implemented. Its initial development was based on UN/CEFACT development methodology (UMM), design principles and core components. Over the years, development became divergent.As an EDI language, GS1 XML has been implemented in 31 countries by more than 21.000 GS1 user companies.GS1 XML is also the enabling electronic language for the Global Data Synchronisation Network, GDSN.

GS1 XML and UN XML - Benefits
To set the ground for the repetition of the EANCOM® success story, GS1 XML needs to be aligned with UN XML as• GS1 needs to be able to offer an interoperable language to its users• GS1 XML implementations need to be future proven and can only be if the language is based on globally recognised principles• UN/CEFACT gives GS1 the chance to build strategic relations with entities and sectors• The eagerly awaited Cross Industry Invoice V2 provides the opportunity to conduct a gap analysis with the GS1 XML Invoice V2.5 and to show the path to convergence
