What are Solution Providers and should you be one?
GS1 Solution Providers are particularly active members who seek opportunities to engage more closely with the GS1 community. There are three tiers to this programme - Premium Partner, Business Partner and Trade Member.
Premium Partners are mainly large organisations who work closely with us to help deliver a range of e-business and supply chain solutions. These members have access to a broad network of business contacts, and opportunities to submit their credentials for tenders and joint projects.
Following consultation, we structure a membership package that suits your particular business needs. Some extra benefits include chances to present to our GS1 community and access to key professional GS1 staff members. A package will also include all the benefits detailed below for Business Partners.
Business Partners are entitled to a wide range of benefits that include marketing and media opportunities at GS1 New Zealand member conferences (e.g. a trade exhibit booth, complimentary conference registrations). Similarly, a membership package that suits your particular business needs is structured.
Other Premium and Business Partner benefits can include:
- Complimentary advertising in SCAN magazine
- Use of the GS1 New Zealand logo on approved collateral and our website
- Annual allocation of complimentary GS1 New Zealand seminar registrations
- Complimentary Certificate Course registrations issued annually
- A reduced Accreditation fee plus complimentary annual licence fee (usually $650)
- Appropriate Partner listing in the GS1 New Zealand Solution Providers Directory
- Opportunity for a company representative to participate in one of the Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) working groups
- Input to GS1 New Zealand Board representatives
- Annual full membership to GS1 NZ and associated benefits
