Why is there other obligatory codes in LVI-INFO.fi, such as GTIN-codes?
In order to master the material flow in the construction process as a whole, the products must be digitally identified. It is not important, with what code the product is identified – as long as it is. Only then can the whole supply chain make a best of the various product databases. The reason for the existence of many kinds of different codes is simply the fact that there are so many industry unique product databases. Only when used together can they cover the whole construction process.
You can GTIN-code – also known EAN code – from GS1 Finland, which also acts as the administrator of the system.
