The non-food sector covers a wide range of items across a broad spectrum of industries. From clothing (apparel, fashion, footwear) to home improvement and other supplies, it is a very data-driven and constantly moving sector.
GS1 standards are like the DNA of the articles and products moving through their value chain. By uniquely identifying each of them, it is possible to link articles and products to relevant information.
