Product data
Synchronization of all relevant product information.
Mappings
Extensive mapping of the GDSN codes for the individual product data fields.
Response
Feedback of the status of synchronization directly on the product.
FMCG, DiY
Implementation for the FMCG and DiY sectors. More on request.
Media data
Synchronization of media data links from our DAM system.
Preparation
Optional preparation of all media data according to GDSN specifications.
Categorization
Transfer of media category according to convention (product images, safety data sheets, etc.)
Periods
Definition of the validity of all media data with start and end date.
Automation
Our system provides for "thresholds" at which data is synchronized with the pool.
Media data retention
All media data is still stored in the DAM system, links and metadata are synchronized.
Public link
The link to the media file can also be used for other purposes.
Availability
The DAM system indicates whether the link is available through the GDSN pool.
GDSN CONNECTION TOP FEATURE
Central data storage
The GDSN connection makes it possible to use our systems as a central source for the data pool. One central data repository, many possibilities.
GDSN CONNECTION TOP FEATURE
All GDSN codes integrated
For FMCG, all codes are already integrated in the system and can be assigned to defined data fields. Thus, the plain text is used for all other purposes, while the GDSN codes are available for synchronization with the pool.
GDSN CONNECTION TOP FEATURE
Media data
Our DAM system provides all media data simultaneously. Product images, videos, safety data sheets, metadata, etc. The links point to our DAM. No duplicate data storage.
GDSN CONNECTION TOP FEATURE
Feedback
All validations coming back from the pool are stored in the PIM system on the product and show what the GDSN status of the product is.
FAQ - Questions and answers about the GDSN data pool
The data pool is an industry standard for the distribution of product data and media data. All connected partners (manufacturers, retailers, etc.) can use the data pool in a centralized and standardized manner.
For manufacturers of products that are sold via retailers, among others, the GDSN data pool should be served additionally. We recommend this because many retailers require this form of data transmission and it is therefore an important component in the provision of data.
Our philosophy is that a PIM/DAM system should remain the central point for all your own product and media data. For reasons of self-sufficiency alone, you should retain control over your own data. The PIM/DAM system can now serve many sources (partners, employees, agencies, service providers, etc.) and also the GDSN data pool. In addition, all other retailer interfaces that want to be connected via API, for example, can also be used. We provide a PIM consulting.
The pool is standardized. It expects exact formatting of data fields as well as mapping of these fields. In addition, there are consistent specifications for media data. Well over 1,000 validation rules are added. the challenge, in addition to completeness, is to prepare the data so that it can be provided in a GDSN-compliant manner.
Our connection enables the evaluation of the so-called CIC files. In the PIM system, you can see the status of the transfer via a tab on each product and see whether there are error messages, warnings, etc.. In addition, the explanation texts are transmitted.
No. The GDSN connection is optional. It can also be implemented at a later date at any time. It should only be considered in advance, if you plan to do it in the future, because the data structure is decisive for a smooth implementation.
The costs consist of a monthly fee for the pool connection and a monthly extension of the license of our systems. In addition, there are one-time costs for the connection of the data to the interfaces of the GDSN pool.
GDSN CONNECTION
GDSN ready and much more.
Don't give your data away, but synchronize it to where it should generate sales. This is exactly what we are pursuing with our strategy and networked systems.
