As a small company with limited resources and basic computer systems, what are the minimal steps we must take to fulfill the correct requirements?

To meet the necessary requirements, you must obtain a unique GS1 Company Prefix and number series directly from GS1. This Company Prefix is fundamental as it allows you to generate Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) for your products. These GTINs can then be seamlessly integrated into all documentation associated with your various products, serving as globally recognized product identifiers across different systems. This includes usage in catalogs, price lists, invoices, and more.

The specific information requirements from your buyers are typically outlined in the agreements you establish, such as project or framework agreements.

If you're in need of a GS1 Company Prefix, we recommend reaching out to your local GS1 Organization https://www.gs1.org/contact for detailed assistance and guidance tailored to your region.
