GS1 labelling from the portal
Quick answer
Generating and printing GS1-128 logistics labels (with SSCC) straight from the Web EDI portal, with no own system.
Key takeaways
- A GS1-128 label with a unique SSCC per logistics unit
- The SSCC ↔ content link, transmitted in the ASN (DESADV)
- A print-ready PDF for thermal printers
What portal labelling is
GS1 labelling from the portal lets a supplier without a WMS generate and print compliant logistics labels (GS1-128 with SSCC) straight from the Web EDI portal, based on the created shipping notice.
Why it's needed
Retailers require standard logistics labels on every pallet/parcel, with a unique SSCC, to scan receipt quickly. A small supplier with no system can't produce them - risking delivery rejection or chargeback.
What it generates
- A GS1-128 label with a unique SSCC per logistics unit
- The SSCC ↔ content link, transmitted in the ASN (DESADV)
- A print-ready PDF for thermal printers
How CRMconnect helps
The CRMconnect portal automatically generates GS1-128 labels with SSCC on ASN creation, links them to the ASN and hands them to the supplier ready to print - full logistics compliance with no own WMS.
Real-world example
A small supplier risked chargebacks for non-compliant logistics labels. With portal labelling in CRMconnect, it generates GS1-128 with correct SSCC on every delivery, and the retailer's receipt scans without errors.

Frequently asked
What is the SSCC on the label?+
Serial Shipping Container Code - a unique identifier for each logistics unit (pallet/parcel). It enables scan-based receipt and links the physical label to the content declared in the ASN.
Do I need a WMS to print GS1 labels?+
Not necessarily. The CRMconnect Web EDI portal generates compliant GS1-128 labels with SSCC straight from the ASN, so even small suppliers can meet retailer requirements.
