The procurement departments of the University Medical Centers of the Netherlands (NFU) chooses to no longer use Excel source documents. They ask their suppliers to publish product data using the international Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN).
NFU GLNs
When you are publishing your product data, please make sure to include the Global Location Numbers (GLNs) below. Always include GLN 8712345013257 (GS1 Netherlands Healthcare). Eventually, this will allow you to reach all your customers and publishing to separate GLNs will no longer be necessary.
