Connecting industries through trusted digital business standards
A common language for connected business.
Explore standards-based collaboration, Singapore's RosettaNet adoption journey, and opportunities to contribute to a volunteer-led industry community.
What is RosettaNet?
Shared definitions for business-to-business exchange
RosettaNet is an industry initiative that defines open standards for business-to-business (B2B) processes, especially supply-chain collaboration between trading partners.
When organisations agree on what a purchase order, forecast or shipment notice means — and how it should be exchanged — they spend less effort reconciling differences and more on the work itself.
