Global Location Number (GLN)

A Global Location Number (GLN) is a unique identifier used internationally to specify a specific location or site within a business or organization, such as a warehouse, store, or office. It helps companies and partners precisely identify and communicate about physical places in supply chains, transactions, or inventory management. Think of it as a detailed address code that ensures clarity and accuracy in global logistics and business operations, reducing confusion and errors when coordinating with multiple parties across different countries.
