GTIN (Global Trade Item Number)

A GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is a unique identifier assigned to products worldwide, typically represented as a barcode. It helps retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers accurately identify and track items throughout the supply chain. This standardized number ensures that the right product is recognized consistently, whether in stores, warehouses, or online. GTINs facilitate inventory management, sales processing, and data analysis, supporting efficient and accurate product handling across global markets. Think of it as a universal product ID that streamlines commerce and reduces confusion or errors.
