What are the benefits of using GS1 standards in Facility Management?

Using GS1 standards in facility management brings significant benefits by enhancing operational efficiency, asset traceability, and data consistency. By uniquely identifying assets, equipment, and locations with globally recognized barcodes or RFID tags, GS1 standards enable accurate inventory tracking, streamlined maintenance processes, and easier compliance with safety and regulatory requirements. Integration with digital systems becomes more seamless, supporting automation and real-time data sharing across departments and service providers. This not only reduces errors and downtime but also supports data-driven decision-making, ultimately leading to improved service quality and cost savings across the facility lifecycle.
