Our Data Management Services, including Item Management, our GDSN-certified data pool service, and Product Introduction, support the mechanisms required for capturing and sharing standard and non-standard product information over trusted global standard and private networks. 

Item Management

Your challenges: Increasing competition, the rise of the “smart shopper,” and continual pressure to improve operational efficiencies and service levels require that customers work more closely with each other. The ability to manage and share information—without duplicating efforts—is critical to addressing those challenges.

How 1SYNC helps: The Item Management Platform adheres to Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) standards—the gold standard in supply chain efficiency—and helps your organization achieve the next level of information sharing. Through this platform, organizations can integrate the development, deployment, and management of data. It empowers you to connect your product information with your customers—regardless of size or available technology—on a single platform. With such a capability, you can meet the growing requirements for greater collaboration and B2C transparency.

How you benefit: Thousands of customers and solution providers operating in multiple industries and countries are already leveraging 1SYNC’s Item Management Platform. By using the Item Management Platform, organizations enjoy a number of significant benefits:

• Reduced information handling costs
• Improved inventory efficiencies
• Faster transaction processing for product updates
• Accelerated time to market and lead times for acquisition
• Reduced IT maintenance expenses

Product Introduction

Your challenges: Layers of red tape can delay the introduction of new items. For years, individual retailers have used proprietary, and often manual, processes to collect information on new products. Consequently, suppliers have been forced to repeat the process with each customer—leading to duplication of effort and opportunity for error. At an industry level, everyone suffers from widespread use of inaccurate and non-standard business information.

How 1SYNC helps: 1SYNC developed the Product Introduction solution to enable electronic collaboration during the new item listing process. Built on a standards-based industry platform, the solution allows suppliers and retailers to collaborate with unprecedented speed and ease. It also supports the efficient use of master data and allows adjustments based on specific customers’ needs.

How you benefit: 1SYNC Product Introduction empowers collaboration with customers on standard and non-standard data through a single solution. That, in turn, improves data quality, accelerates speed to market, and eliminates duplication of effort.

As the standard in item collaboration, Product Introduction delivers a number of compelling benefits:

• Enhanced collaboration among customers thanks to improved data quality and accuracy
• Increased speed-to-market
• Support for data synchronization efforts
• Ability to honor retailer-specific business practices and data needs
• Elimination of disparate new item listing processes
