About the GS1 Solution Provider Programme

What is the GS1 Solution Provider Programme?

Due to increasing trading and regulatory requirements, GS1 Member companies are seeking standards-based solutions to meet those challenges and drive efficiences in their business. Additionally, the retail landscape is dynamically changing to cater for the demands of 'omni-channel' customers, placing new and considerable demand on supply chains, processes and technology. The objective of the GS1 Ireland Solution Provider Programme is to build collaborative relationships based on mutual advantage and partnership. Through cooperation, the sharing of skills and information, and active participation in GS1 Ireland's network, Partners benefit in terms of increased understanding and knowledge of the GS1 system, promotion of their offering and solutions and participation in business generating activities.

What are the benefits of the Solution Provider Programme?

The Solution Provider Programme creates added value for you and your customers. Implementation of GS1 standards-based solutions requires expertise. Through the programme companies develop the competence needed to be a trusted advisor for their customers. By becoming a part of GS1 Ireland's Solution Provider Programme, you will have the opportunity to work closely with GS1, and gain the education and certification you need to develop and sustain your company's GS1 expertise.
