The product information solution that fits your needs

Product Data Excellence

Always good and reliable product information at your fingertips

Increased market demand for product information confronts wholesalers, retailers, and manufacturers with a pressing challenge.

SRC aims to provide every organization in the value chain with the right tools to fulfill this challenge. Quality comes first, that’s why SRC’s PIM is always compliant with market data standards issued by for instance GDS, GS1, PS in foodservice, and ETIM.

In SRC’s PIM, new data models are quickly processed and always kept up to date, allowing customers to publish product information globally. True to our ‘First Time Right’ principle, you will always have access to perfectly validated product data. Your PIM will be the single source of truth for your entire organization.

How does it work?

The Product Data Excellence platform of SRC will help you manage your organization’s product information data flow and cooperate with your eco-system partners. Our platform supports you in all five product data value chain aspects.

The gathering, processing, enrichment, and sharing of product information happens in one place. You can be assured that your data is always correct by continuously validating the data with public standards and your own customizable business rules. Let’s dive into the details.

Gather

We begin by gathering all different details of your product and upload them into the database. Whether you are a manufacturer and create most data internally, or a retailer who receives all information from your suppliers from different sources, files, formats and methods: the process of gathering all relevant product information is a challenge for every company. 

SRC will help you simplify and automate the process of gathering all relevant data, regardless of the source and format in an efficient way and create your single source of truth of your product information.

Process

Throwing all your product data at a system is one thing. But how do you handle different information from different sources for a single product. We call this process blending: blend product data from multiple sources, based on your own validation and business rules, into one golden record.  

Using our standardization, de-duplication and validation tools, you’re ensured of getting the highest data quality that serves as a basis for further enrichment of your product information.

By using the GS1 and 2BA data pool, every link in the construction and installation chain benefits from better product information.

This way, your product will come out perfectly both at the installer and at the hardware store. This webinar was conducted in Dutch.

Enrich

The process of enrichment contains adding the missing product details, required by your customers and partners. In most companies, this process is handled by a multitude of people and departments, which complicates matters intensively. 

SRC’s Product Data Excellence platform aligns all stakeholders and organizes the process in such a manner that they do not frustrate each other by entering incorrect, different, or even contradicting information.  

We combine this workflow functionality with automatic data validation rules such as GS1, ETIM, or your own business rules, guiding your stakeholders step-by-step through which information in which format is required for which channel. This combination will ensure your data will be of the required quality to bring it to any marketplace.

Share

Our platform seamlessly connects you with all your channels, including data pools, e-commerce, marketplaces, online retailers, and distributors. Deliver the correct data to the correct customer in the blink of an eye, according to the requirements set by you, the market, and your clients.  

Now you can share it with the world.

Continuous validation

Exchanging faulty data back and forth is a true headache for everyone in the supply chain.  SRC’s Product Data Excellence platform is configured in such a way that during each step of the product data flow your data is validated and checked on all set requirements.  

Global data standards like GS1 or ETIM are fully integrated in our solution, but validation rules are not limited to those standards. You can set up your own (additional) validation rules to ensure your data is always right.
