Selling a product starts with a GS1 barcode number

GS1 barcodes

GS1 Jordan is a not-for-profit company - a GS1 Member Organization- that locally administers the global multi-industry system of identification (using barcodes, 2D-codes and RFID - radio frequency identification) and communication for products, services, assets and locations - the GS1 System.

GS1 identification numbers and barcodes permit organizations of any size to order, track, trace, deliver and pay for goods across the supply chain, anywhere in the world. The GS1 System was developed by user companies under the leadership of GS1 Global Office. It is recognized by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the European Standardization Committee (CEN) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

GS1 Jordan is here to help Jordanian companies become more efficient; our fundamental role apart from allocating GS1 company prefix numbers, Global Location Number and EPC manager numbers, is also to help companies adopt world's best practices in supply chain management.

With our network of 112 GS1 Member Organizations (MOs) around the world today, over one million registered users companies in 150 countries use GS1 standards as part of their daily business communications, representing over five billion barcode scans a day.

Consumers, patients, business partners and regulators are demanding more and better product data than ever before—but complex and costly data exchange processes are producing a surge in low-quality data.

GS1 empowers industry’s digital transformation by enabling businesses to create a digital version of a product that is as good as the physical one. Ultimately, consumers and patients will benefit from increased product transparency and the seamless experiences that this brings.

Making it possible to do business more efficiently and safely

GS1 standards are the most widely used system of standards in the world. By enabling the sharing of trusted quality data everywhere, they tell the story behind products—where they originated, what they contain and where they have been during their supply-chain journey. This, in turn, removes friction between business partners and improves performance and safety across the entire supply chain.
