GS1 workshops, Comarch ECOD and SA2 Worldsync in Vietnam

At the end of the last year in Hanoi, Vietnam, a joint workshop organized by GS1 Vietnam as well as COMARCH and SA2 Worldsync was held. Comarch has been present in Vietnam since 2009, offering its own EDI solution, Comarch ECOD Platform.

GDSN concepts were presented during the workshops (Global Data Synchronization Network), which are supported by the GS1 organization (Global Standards) and facilitate the exchange of basic information about products between trading partners. In addition, participants were presented the concepts and benefits derived from the integration of solutions such as electronic data interchange (EDI).

- These solutions provide real benefits to companies around the world. Thanks to their employment, suppliers and retail chains are sure that product information is correct and consistent throughout the trading process - says Marzena Kowalkowska, Director of the Asian branches of Comarch.

Additional benefits of such solutions according to Diep Nguyen, Key Account Manager for Vietnam:
- The use of solutions such as the SA2 Wordlsync directory which is additionally integrated with EDI systems such as Comarch ECOD means that companies are provided with a high quality of basic data. This allows for the reduction of costs associated with resolving irregularities that result from variations and problems with product data. Companies are sure that  .the products which have been ordered will be delivered, which in turn affects availability on the shelf, and thus actual sales.

Comarch working with SA2 Wordlsync in Poland, Russia and Ukraine, offers the ECOD SA2 solution - an integrated solution for the management of data. Extension of cooperation is planned for Vietnam and China, where Comarch is already present with the ECOD platform.
