What We Do
Haskins has Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) and Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) consulting, implementation, and technology support expertise in many industries. We understand the complexities that are unique to the following types of industries and have helped to create and implement solutions to fulfill their data standardization needs.
As a member of the GS1 Solution Partner Program, we are active in the GS1 community. This keeps us at the forefront of industry-specific changes and allows us to function as an advocate for our customers.
We have experience working with most major Data Pools in North America, such as 1WorldSync, FSEnet, Edgenet, ECCnet, Syncfonia, and other GDSN solution partners.
Haskins can help you comply with the needs of your trading partners through GDSN best practices. Focusing on where you are, we are not pushing any particular standard; we help our customers meet the needs of their trading partners and government agencies.
In 2013, we expanded our services to include Healthcare. Our services include helping Medical Device manufacturers to meet compliance with the GUDID by guiding them through the detailed requirements. The GUDID is a database administered by the FDA that will serve as a reference catalog for every device with an identifier. The public can access medical device information contained in the GUDID.
