Easily transform and publish your article data to the GS1 Data Source (GDSN)
As a supplier of products to retailers, it is crucial to supply product data according to the GS1 data standard. This standardisation offers numerous benefits, as consistent and accurate product data is essential for various purposes.
Want to make your product information GS1-compliant and publish it to the GS1 Data Source (GDSN)?
It is easier than you might think. The GS1 connector from Qmica is a very user-friendly application that allows you to translate your product information yourself (‘mapping’) to various data standards such as GS1 and ETIM. You do not need a complicated customised solution, your current environment in which you store your product data is sufficient and you are not dependent on a software supplier. After a brief instruction, you can start to check your product data against the standards yourself and you will gain insight into the actions to be taken. You will then be intuitively helped by the application to map your product data to GS1 and/or ETIM. Then you simply send your product information to, for example, the GS1 Data Source (GDSN) and your buyers get fast and correct access to your product data. You no longer have to worry about changes to data models, you will receive timely and proactive notifications in your dashboard about what information needs to be added to your product data.
Translating your product information to GS1
You have stored your article data or product data in your own article database. This could be a PIM, ERP or Excel environment. Your customers are increasingly demanding that your product data complies with the GS1 Data Model and is subsequently published by you in the GS1 data pools (GDSN), so that they have quick access to uniform and correct product data. The challenge is that the organisation of your article database often does not correspond to the format and organisation required by GS1. Manually adjusting the article data and publishing it according to the GS1 model is a time-consuming activity, the GS1 Data Model changes regularly and is becoming increasingly complex. New legislation such as GPSR (link to blog) will only make it more complex. With the help of the GS1 Connector and a brief instruction from the Qmica consultants, you will be able to solve these challenges and even start using your product data. Regardless of whether you are a manufacturer, wholesaler or distributor in the DIY, Garden and Pet and Healthcare sectors.
