How to Do Business With Costco Canada Through the GDSN

Costco Corporation Joins the GDSN !!!

As part of Costco’s Merchandise Modernization effort, Costco has joined the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) to improve efficiencies  and enhance the process for receiving product information from suppliers.

Costco now asks suppliers to load all items sold to Costco Canada into a certified GDSN data pool where they must be kept current. Costco’s certified GDSN data pool provider is Syndigo.

If your certified data pool provider is also Syndigo, please contact sales@syndigo.com. If you are not part of a certified data pool, and choose to use Syndigo, you can contact us regarding the following:

• Costco’s data requirements
• The process for publishing item information through GDSN
• Questions around GS1, data pools, and GDSN

If you have an existing relationship with a different certified data pool provider, and have any questions about loading your items to Costco, please send an email to GDSN@costco.com.

Costco is aware this will take time and appreciates your partnership to make the modernization effort successful. For  questions or concerns about the GDSN initiative, email GDSN@costco.com.
