UCCnet was a subsidiary of GS1 US (formerly known as UCC) and was formed in 1999 to address the concerns from retailers and suppliers regarding inaccurate data in the supply chain.  UCCnet represented the U.S. as a standards body.  Since 1999, UCCnet expanded its purview to include data pool services.  Data pools assist member participants in providing up-to-date, clean data to the GS1 Global Registry, thereby exchanging accurate data with trading partners.  Then in 2005, UCCnet and Transora (another large provider of data pool services) merged to create 1Sync.  1Sync is a subsidiary of GS1 US and a leader in data pool services.
