Using GLNs in Communication
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Utilizing Global Location Numbers (GLNs) in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) streamlines communication by providing precise and unique identifiers for parties involved in transactions. GLNs enhance the accuracy and efficiency of data exchanges, reducing errors and improving traceability. By leveraging GLNs, businesses can ensure that information such as shipping details, billing addresses, and order specifics are consistently and correctly communicated across the supply chain. This integration fosters smoother operations, better inventory management, and stronger business relationships through reliable and transparent data sharing.
