Mohave GDSN Connect Home
Welcome to GDSN Connect
Mohave ASPIN has procured GDSN Connect software from inTEAM Associates to manage ASPIN food procurements and to share current product specifications and pricing information with co-op members. ASPIN has now connected their bid award catalogs to the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN), where product specifications and related information are published by manufacturers. This includes K-12 specific product information including nutrients, allergens, and meal credits.
ASPIN has provided its members with access to GDSN Connect at no cost giving you everything you need to search your catalogs and add complete product specifications for the items you use to your local database. Additional tools include a 360 degree product view, commodity value and yield, and manufacturer product update notifications for items contained in the ASPIN catalogs. Users can also view and download reports of catalog items in use including nutrient and allergen and procurement reports for use in managing other program operations.
