Dear Valued Vendor Partner,
Over the past 6-12 months, aligning better with industry standards to reduce our cost to serve has become a top priority from Stores leadership, particularly from our CEO Doug Herrington. To support this, we have partnered with 1WorldSync to leverage the Global Data Synchronization Network (“GDSN”) for the exchange of product information.
In 2025, GDSN will not be used to update your existing catalog listings, but will drive consistent/accurate foundational data for fulfillment and procurement improvements. We are asking you to begin synchronizing your Amazon assortment and associated supply chain information, including packaging configuration, weights and dimensions, and ingredient and allergen information via the GDSN.
Next Steps to begin sending your product information:
*Please pay close attention to Section 1.2.2 on how to “Connect to Amazon GDSN through your Vendor Central”, including the information on selecting Vendor Codes, before you publish to Amazon via the GDSN.
If you have questions regarding this initiative or are not currently participating in a GDSN program, we encourage you to join a network to provide us with your product content. To get started, please reach out to businessdevelopment@1worldsync.com or call 1WorldSync at +1 866.280.4013.
Thank you for your participation.
