MERCHANDISERS / WHOLESALERS / DISTRIBUTORS
Global competitive pressures are constantly increasing, and your company must synchronize its internal and external operations in order to be positioned for profitable growth.
Your internal staff is challenged by poor visibility of product information, inefficient data management and isolated data silos, and there is minimal coordination between internal departments and external partners.
Valuable resource are wasted and managing information between vendors and external partners is cumbersome and fragmented. Excel spreadsheets and Word documents are the norm, with ftp servers the source of product images and movie files. Managing these silos burdens internal staff, causes time-to-market delays and ultimately, lost sales opportunities.
Key Business Challenges Include:
Collect item data (both logistics and rich content) from a long tail of suppliers across multiple categories.
Balance a positive vendor experience with the need for high quality, rich, validated product information.
Accelerate item setup and classification while maintaining high standards of internal data quality.
Ensure all products are attributed correctly and consistently to help fuel front end customer sites, and better user experiences.
Offer customers the right amount of compelling content to help them make a purchase decision on your site
Benefits of synchronizing supplier information:
Procuring product information efficiently in a central repository is the key to accurate, intelligent dissemination to your channel partners.
Encouraging vendors to input and manage their own product information will help your company achieve significant product cost savings.
Enterprises that integrate their vendors/suppliers into new product introduction cycles reduce time to market by 25% or more.
Earlier sales mean higher profits as your entire sales channel benefits by a more efficient product lifecycle.
Imagine an automatic data hierarchy of product content which includes series, product and SKU metadata, images and documents.
