Validoo Party allows companies to easily publish information related to their GLNs, edit their own information, and additionally fetch information about their trading partners.
Publishing information with Validoo Party
The principal location number (the lowest number in a company’s number series) is published in Validoo Party automatically and without any additional fee for all companies who are customers of GS1 Sweden. The principal location number is published together with the company's address as held by the Swedish companies’ registration office.
Customers who would like to publish more GLNs than their principal GLN sign a contract with GS1 Sweden for the use of Validoo Party.
