• The GLN can identify a company’s physical locations, for example a store, a warehouse, or a berth in a port.
• The GLN can be used to identify an organisation as a corporate entity.
• The GLN can also identify a company’s legal and functional entities engaging as parties in a particular business transaction, for example as buyer, seller, or carrier.
• The GLN can be used in electronic messages and registries to inform trading partners about companies and their corresponding GLNs and associated GLN information.
• The GLN extension component can be added to a GLN to provide more precise recording and sharing of supply chain events. For example, an extension component may identify sub-locations such as storage bins, dock doors, scan and read points.
   

The GLN is also used by organisations in the public sector. In fact, various applications exist where governments use GLNs, either to identify their own agencies or to identify companies using central government databases. As a key to access records, the SSCC can be used to track and trace shipment details any time, which include the products contained, the quantity, batch number, minimum/maximum durability and the quality status during the re-location of the shipment when they move from one location to another.
