1. Real-Time GDSN Data Synchronization
Real-time data synchronization forms the backbone of efficient GDSN implementation. When suppliers update product information, those changes immediately reflect across all connected trading partner systems worldwide—creating a powerful single source of truth.
The Global Data Synchronization Network operates on a publish-subscribe messaging model that ensures standardized, accurate data exchange happens instantly. Rather than sending spreadsheets or documents that quickly become outdated, GDSN provides a framework to automatically communicate and update information with all affected parties as changes occur.
This process works through a network of interconnected data pools. Suppliers upload their product information to their chosen data pool, which then synchronizes and distributes that information to other data pools worldwide. Every product within the GDSN receives a unique identifier housing all relevant data—including color, category, size, weight, and shipping logistics.
Consequently, when someone scans a barcode at the end of the supply chain, retailers immediately access every detail of what’s in the shipment they’re receiving. This real-time visibility represents a fundamental shift from traditional data management approaches.
How Commport Implements Real-Time Sync
Commport’s GDSN Datapool Solution centralizes, streamlines, and automates product syndication for enhanced accuracy and efficiency. Their implementation stands out through several key features:

2. GS1 Standards Compliance
GS1 standards serve as the foundation upon which the entire Global Data Synchronization Network operates. These internationally recognized protocols establish the rules for how product information is structured, exchanged, and verified across global supply chains.
GS1 Standards in GDSN
The relationship between GS1 and GDSN is essentially that of creator and creation. As a not-for-profit international organization, GS1 developed the GDSN specifically to enable high-quality product data exchange. The GDSN functions as the implementation mechanism for these standards, creating a framework where trading partners can seamlessly share standardized product information.
At its core, the GDSN operates using a publish-subscribe pattern between trading partners. Each business registers with and accesses the network via a certified data pool, with the GS1 Global Registry acting as a directory that points to where specific data is housed. This registry matches subscriptions to registrations, facilitating synchronized data exchange.
For products to be properly registered in the GS1 Global Registry, seven mandatory attributes are required:
- GLN of Source Data Pool
- GLN of Data Source
- GTIN (Global Trade Item Number)
- Target Market Country Code
- GPC (Global Product Classification)
- State
- Product Date Attributes
Subsequently, an additional 17 attributes are needed for complete data exchange across the network.
Commport’s GS1 Certification
Commport GDSN Datapool. A GS1 Certified GDSN Datapool Since 2005, Trusted by 3000+ Brands Worldwide. As an early adopter, Commport was among the first group of providers to receive this important certification.

Notably, only GS1-certified data pools can synchronize data within the GDSN. This certification requirement ensures interoperability among all participants and maintains data integrity throughout the network.
Through rigorous testing and validation against various standards and regulatory requirements, GDSN ensures exceptional data quality. This accuracy builds consumer trust, with studies showing 94% of consumers are more likely to remain loyal to brands offering complete transparency.
3. Comprehensive Product Attribute Support
Product attributes form the backbone of effective GDSN implementations, defining every aspect of your products that trading partners and customers need to know. As opposed to simple spreadsheets with basic information, comprehensive attribute support enables businesses to share detailed, standardized product data that drives better decisions throughout the supply chain.
What Attributes Are Supported
The GDSN framework requires at least 37 mandatory attributes to successfully synchronize product data across the network. These critical data points fall into two distinct categories:
- Attributes Required by Global Registry – Including GTIN, GPC category code, target market country code, and content owner information
- Mandatory GDSN Attributes – Including indicators for base unit, consumer unit, shipping unit, product hierarchy level code, dimensions, weight, and brand name
Beyond these foundational elements, Commport’s GDSN solution supports both tangible and intangible product attributes. Tangible attributes include physical, measurable features like size, shape, weight, color, materials, and technical specifications. Meanwhile, intangible attributes cover non-physical characteristics such as brand reputation, perceived quality, warranty information, and emotional associations.
The depth of attribute support proves especially valuable as product catalogs expand. A robust GDSN solution must accommodate hundreds of potential attributes across diverse product categories to meet the needs of various trading partners and regulatory requirements.
Commport’s Attribute Mapping Tools
Commport offers specialized attribute mapping capabilities that streamline the complex process of aligning your internal product data with GDSN standards. Their mapping tools act as translators between different data formats, ensuring that information flows correctly between systems regardless of naming conventions or structural differences.
For instance, Commport’s solution can map each requested attribute to the appropriate GDSN attribute for easy cross-reference. This mapping functionality proves particularly valuable for users managing data across multiple systems, especially when transitioning from spreadsheets or proprietary databases to the standardized GDSN format.
Moreover, Commport’s validation engine automatically tests incoming data against various standards and regulatory requirements, flagging potential issues before they reach trading partners. This proactive approach to data quality management helps maintain compliance while reducing the risk of errors propagating through the supply chain.
Impact on Product Data Accuracy
Comprehensive attribute support directly influences data accuracy, which in turn affects business outcomes across the entire retail ecosystem. Approximately 81% of online shoppers value transparency in product attributes, making accurate information essential for building consumer trust.
Poor attribute management carries significant financial consequences. Studies show that about 20% of product purchases fail because of missing or unclear product information. Even more striking, 70% of fashion returns occur due to incorrect sizing details. These problems translate directly to lost sales, unnecessary return processing costs, and damaged customer relationships.
Accurate, comprehensive attribute management through GDSN creates a virtuous cycle throughout the supply chain. Retailers benefit from enhanced category management and smoother administrative processes. Meanwhile, customers find products more easily and receive exactly what they expect, improving satisfaction and loyalty.
For businesses looking to scale, manual attribute management becomes virtually impossible as product catalogs grow. Commport’s GDSN solution addresses this challenge by centralizing attribute management in a purpose-built system that maintains data integrity even across thousands of products and dozens of trading partners.
4. Digital Content Delivery via URL Tags
Digital content has become a crucial component of complete product information in today’s retail landscape. The ability to efficiently deliver and manage this content directly impacts both operational efficiency and consumer experience.
What is Digital Content in GDSN
Within the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN), digital content refers to non-textual assets that enhance product understanding and presentation. The GDSN framework supports various digital asset types through embedded URL links:
- Images (product photos, marketing shots)
- PDF documents (specification sheets, manuals)
- Videos (product demonstrations, instructions)
- Logos (brand identifiers)
Unlike traditional methods where companies share actual image files, GDSN utilizes URL tags embedded within GTIN records to reference digital content. This approach creates a direct connection between product data and associated digital assets without requiring file transfers or storage within the GDSN system itself.
Commport’s URL Tagging System
Commport’s GDSN solution implements this URL tagging methodology as the cornerstone of its digital content delivery strategy. Through their system, every product record can include precise references to all relevant digital assets through standardized URL placement.
This approach aligns perfectly with GS1 Digital Link standards, which “web-enables” barcodes by providing a standards-based structure for encoded data in 2D line-of-sight data carriers. The system works by creating a direct pathway from a product’s GTIN to its associated digital assets stored on web servers.
What makes Commport’s implementation particularly effective is that it eliminates two major pain points in digital content management:
- No image-to-item matching required – Each URL directly connects to the correct asset
- No need to store images – Reduces data storage requirements and transfer complexity
Benefits for E-commerce and Retail
The URL tagging approach offers significant advantages throughout the retail ecosystem:
First, it dramatically improves accuracy in content delivery. Unlike manual processes where images might be incorrectly matched with products, URL tags create unbreakable connections between GTINs and their specific digital assets.
Second, it enables improved safety and efficiency within retail operations. Retailers can flag recalled or expired products, automatically discount items nearing expiration, and conduct more effective returns management.
Third, this system supports the growing consumer demand for product transparency. When consumers scan a product barcode with their smartphones, they can access a variety of digital content and services that enhance their experience.
Finally, this approach streamlines business-to-business processes for data sharing. By providing a standardized method for digital content delivery, trading partners can easily access and utilize each other’s digital assets without complex technical integration.
Through proper implementation of URL tagging in GDSN, both suppliers and retailers gain a powerful tool for managing the increasingly important digital dimension of product information.

This multi-faceted approach eliminates the one-size-fits-all limitations that plague many GDSN solutions. Instead of forcing businesses to adapt their processes to the technology, Commport adapts their technology to existing business processes.
Ease of Use for Different Business Sizes
Generally speaking, small and medium enterprises face unique challenges when implementing GDSN. Nevertheless, Commport has built user-friendly interfaces that accommodate companies of all sizes, from global corporations to small-town suppliers.
For smaller businesses with limited item data, Commport provides a Graphic User Interface (GUI) that allows direct data entry into their GDSN-certified data pool. This web-based interface enables automatic synchronization whenever users add, change, or delete item information.
In contrast, larger enterprises with robust IT departments often prefer programmatic integration options. Altogether, this flexibility ensures that organizations don’t need to overhaul existing systems or processes to participate in global data synchronization.
Reducing Onboarding Time
Time-to-value remains a critical concern for businesses implementing new systems. Commport addresses this through several targeted approaches:
First, they provide an online self-guided tutorial that gives new clients foundational knowledge needed for the project. Second, each client receives a dedicated customer support representative who guides them through the data loading process with approximately twelve sample items.
Upon successful registration with the Global Registry and synchronization with trading partners, Commport and the client formally agree on project completion. This structured methodology significantly shortens implementation timelines.
Indeed, this streamlined approach proves especially valuable for businesses facing tight deadlines. Some trading partners require GDSN-related item data to be successfully published within 60 days of the initial request, making efficient onboarding essential.
The combination of flexible upload options, user-friendly interfaces, and dedicated support creates an onboarding experience that minimizes disruption while maximizing data quality.
6. Automated Data Validation and Quality Checks
Data quality makes or breaks any GDSN implementation. In fact, Harvard Business Review reports that bad data costs businesses USD 3.00 trillion annually. Throughout my experience implementing product data solutions, I’ve seen firsthand how proper validation transforms disorganized information into a valuable business asset.
Importance of Data Validation in GDSN
First and foremost, validation ensures your product information conforms to requirements before it reaches trading partners. Without validation, companies face increased time to market and lost revenue opportunities. In the GDSN ecosystem, data validation is particularly critical as information flows across multiple systems and organizations.
The GDSN data structure includes several components requiring validation:
- Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
- Product attributes and characteristics
- Standardized codes
- Product relationships
- Validation rules themselves
When data isn’t validated, retailers struggle with inaccurate inventories and suppliers face costly errors in fulfillment – ultimately damaging relationships with both partners and consumers.
Commport’s Validation Engine
Commport’s validation engine automatically tests incoming data against various standards and regulatory requirements. This ensures that product information is properly formatted and contains all mandatory elements before synchronization occurs.
The system runs comprehensive validation checks, including:
- Code checks for required attributes
- Range checks ensuring values stay within specified parameters
- Format checks confirming data fits predetermined structures
- Consistency checks verifying properties match formatting rules
- Uniqueness checks prevent duplicate entries
Aside from technical validation, Commport Datapool Solutions provides detailed reporting and analytics, offering visibility into data quality and partner compliance. This transparency helps identify and resolve issues before they impact operations.
Ensuring High-Quality Product Data
High-quality data in GDSN is indispensable for an effective supply chain. Coupled with standardization, validation creates consistent product information that increases operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Data validation reviews product data to facilitate correct and speedy information processing, ensuring it’s clean, accurate, and usable. This directly impacts three critical business outcomes:

Streamlining Product Data Workflows
The PIM-GDSN integration fundamentally transforms data workflows through systematic processes. First, all product data from various sources consolidates in the PIM system. Once there, it undergoes cleansing and enrichment – including validation, deduplication, and enhancement with additional attributes.
Data mapping then occurs automatically between PIM fields and corresponding GDSN requirements. This mapping ensures compatibility with GDSN’s specific format and structure.
Through this approach, businesses can:
- Centralize product data management in one system
- Apply data quality checks before GDSN distribution
- Eliminate duplicate entry and maintenance
- Update information once for distribution across all channels
In reality, this integration reduces the chances of errors and inconsistencies while improving overall productivity.
