Bluestone PIM and Qmica Announce Partnership to Enable Global Product Data Standardization

Reliable product data is becoming a key foundation for digital commerce and supply chain collaboration. Retailers, marketplaces, and trading partners increasingly expect product information that complies with international standards such as GS1 and ETIM.

At the same time, developments like Digital Product Passports (DPP) and growing sustainability requirements are increasing the need for structured and transparent product data.

To support this shift, Bluestone PIM and Qmica, the GS1 Connector, have partnered to simplify how organizations standardize and distribute product data.

Together, they combine Bluestone’s flexible PIM platform with Qmica’s expertise in GS1 and ETIM standards. This helps organizations turn internal product data into compliant information that can be shared across supply chains.

Bridging the gap between internal data and global standards

Many organizations manage their product information across multiple internal systems. While Product Information Management (PIM) systems provide a central place to manage and enrich product data, translating this information into internationally recognized standards remains a challenge.

Retailers and trading partners require product data to follow standards like GS1 and ETIM, ensuring consistent communication across the supply chain.

This is where Bluestone PIM and Qmica come together.

Bluestone PIM offers a modern, composable platform to manage product attributes, media, technical specifications, and marketing content in one place. Its flexible setup allows organizations and system integrators to build product data environments that fit complex digital ecosystems.

Qmica complements this environment with The GS1 Connector, a specialized solution that standardizes product data according to global GS1 and ETIM standards and prepares it for publication to data pools, retailers, and trading partners.

Together, Bluestone and Qmica help organizations bridge the gap between internal product data management and external supply chain requirements.

Turning product data into globally compliant information

By integrating Bluestone PIM with the Qmica GS1 Connector, organizations gain the ability to transform internal product data into standardized, compliant information that can be shared globally.

This collaboration enables Bluestone users to:

✔ Standardize product data according to GS1 and ETIM standards
✔ Maintain continuous compliance with evolving international standards
✔ Improve product data quality and governance
✔ Publish standardized product data to GS1 datapools and trading partners worldwide
✔ Reduce manual effort and accelerate time-to-market

Instead of manually mapping product attributes and correcting data inconsistencies, organizations can automate the process of validating, structuring, and publishing product data according to recognized international standards.

The result is a more efficient and reliable flow of product information across the digital supply chain.

Preparing for the Future of Product Data

The importance of standardized product data continues to grow as regulatory and market requirements evolve.

Initiatives such as Digital Product Passports (DPP) aim to increase transparency about product composition, sustainability, and lifecycle information. To support these initiatives, organizations will need structured and standardized product data that can be exchanged across ecosystems.

By aligning product data with internationally recognized standards such as GS1 and ETIM, organizations create a strong foundation for meeting future data exchange requirements.

The partnership between Bluestone PIM and Qmica helps organizations build this foundation today, enabling them to manage product information efficiently while preparing for the next generation of digital supply chains.

A Strong Foundation for Digital Commerce and Supply Chains

Together, Bluestone PIM and Qmica enable organizations to move beyond simply managing product data.

Instead, they can turn product information into a reliable, standardized, and globally exchangeable asset that supports collaboration with retailers, distributors, marketplaces, and regulatory ecosystems.

As product data requirements continue to evolve, organizations that invest in standardized and scalable product data architectures will be best positioned to adapt and grow.
