The Global Language of Business
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Location Management

Our Global Location Numbers (GLNs) are just one of the ways we’re simplifying your supply chains.

They really come into their own when you need to distinguish locations from each other, or identify your trading partners. Because they are standardised and unique, they can be used across open supply chains. 

 

And as they can help with purchase-to-pay, inventory management and much more, they’ll keep your operations running smoothly.

GLNs assign a unique number to each of your locations or trading partners to define the people and places involved in your different processes.

 

Legal entity and function GLNs can be used to define who’s involved in your operational processes, while physical and digital location GLNs can define the locations and sub-locations involved – from entire organisations and hospital wards, to shelves in a store cupboard.

Why use GLNs?
