The long term target benefit

• ZERO COST for data correction
• ZERO COST for duplicative data input
• ZERO DEFECT Processes
• Consumer Driven Manufacturing bringing efficiency
  to the supply chain

And what is the scale of the challenge?
6
For retailers working across Europe...


150,000 Suppliers150,000 Catalogues 150,000
Formats
7 million products analysed 40,000 Suppliers and
1.5 million products on file

• 25 minutes / year / SKU /- 5 of human errors
  4 weeks to roll-in new item

30 modifications / month70-80 price or
promotion
7
And for manufacturers...

• General master data problems
• 30 billion - or 3.4 of sales - is lost each
  year due to supply chain information
  inefficiencies
• On an industry wide basis, 30 of transactions
  contain inaccurate data
• With PO/Invoice matching alone, the size of the
  problem is enormous
• Cases of 60 invoices with errors
• Up to 35 deduction rate in some markets

3. The registry holds this basic information
about all items and the location of each items
home data pool.
Registry
Manufacturer
4. A retailer will search the registry, via a
selected data pool, for an item (by GTIN or by
description). The registry returns the details of
the items Home Data Pool.
2. The data pool sends very basic information
about the item to the Registry
DataPool
1. A manufacturer will publish item information
to the items home data pool.

5. The trading partners synchronise the item
information between their respective data pools
using subscription/publication process.

GDS ScopeStandards

• Global Data Synchronisation feeds into, and
  exists inside, the EANUCC Global Standards
  Environment

18
GDS ScopeStandards
Each item (consumer and traded) is identified by
a GTIN and is registered.
GTIN 3700123300380
19
GDS ScopeStandards
Each party or location is identified by a GLN and
is registered.

GDS ScopeGlobal Data Dictionary

• Common definitions for Master Data
• Neutral or relationship dependent
• Builds the foundation for data pools compliance
  to the global EAN/UCC coding system
• Promotes and strengthens use of the unique
  identifiers for product (GTIN) and party (GLN)

21
GDS ScopeProduct Classification

• A context to group products into blocks to
  support business processes
• Searching logical and flexible product categories
• Custom category analysis
• Simplification and efficiency of data
  synchronisation
• Consists of attributes and values associated
  to product blocks
• A sub-set of the Global Data Dictionary

GDS ScopeGlobal Registry

• Federates Data Pools
• Ensures uniqueness of items and parties in the
  GDS Network
• Points to the data pool where master data is
  originally stored
• Enables basic search function
• Is not a Global Switch

28
GDS ScopeData Pool

• Primary player in the data synchronisation
  process
• Repository of items and parties published
• Enables data publication and subscription
• Enables Global Search

29
GDS ScopeCertification

• Ensures that Technical Requirements and Global
  Standards for Data Synchronisation are correctly
  implemented throughout the Global Data
  Synchronisation Network.

30
GDS ScopeIndustry Governance

• Governance is the management ofindustry
  compliance to the Global Data Synchronisation
  process.
• It is based on rules, which permit
  synchronisation to operate consistently on a
  day-to-day basis without constant reference to a
  committee.
