firstbase connects senders and receivers of product master data.
All members of GS1 Switzerland, whether small or large companies, have access to electronic master data exchange with firstbase.
Suppliers can merge, maintain and validate the master data for their products with images and other media assets on the intuitive platform via a web UI or direct connection. The product content is aggregated on the platform, consolidated and provided to the business partners from one source in a quality-assured manner for their purchasing, logistics and sales processes. Suppliers and recipients are connected worldwide via GDSN and other interfaces.
With firstbase, you lay the foundation for the digitalisation of supply chain processes and achieve sustainable benefits.
How it works
Data sender
As a supplier, you publish and keep the product master data up-to-date on the central platform.
Through the data set coordinated with the market participants, you reach all your potential customers who are connected to the platform.
Depending on your needs, you access the central platform via a web portal, an interface or a GDSN connection.
You decide whether the data is also published on other databases.

Your advantages
Automated processes
Industry-optimised
Simple operation
Numerous interfaces
Compatible and aligned
Manufacturers can validate and provide their product data via a user-friendly interface, via data import from other systems or a full integration of their in-house systems.
Data from other sources such as foreign GDSN pools or the data provider xyxle are also received by the new solution and provided quality-checked in the GS1 standard as well as in other formats.
Thanks to the data sets coordinated between senders and recipients, only the information that is actually used further needs to be maintained.
