Prevent publication errors before they reach GS1 and your customers
Publishing incomplete or incorrect product data can lead to rejected publications, delayed product launches and unnecessary manual corrections. In many organisations, these issues are only discovered after data has already been submitted to GS1, retailers or marketplaces.
Qmica changes that process.
Our GS1 Product Data Validation engine validates your product information before publication, allowing you to identify and resolve issues while your data is still under your control. Every product is checked against the latest GS1 Validation Rules, ETIM standards and retailer-specific business rules, ensuring your data meets the requirements of every publication channel.
By validating early, organisations improve Product Data Quality, reduce costly rework and significantly increase the success rate of product publications.
Key Capabilities
Validate against the latest GS1 standards
GS1 standards are continuously evolving, introducing new mandatory attributes, validation rules and business requirements.
Qmica automatically validates your product information against the latest GS1 Validation Rules, ensuring every publication complies with current standards.
Validation includes checks such as:
- Mandatory attributes
- Data formats
- Attribute dependencies
- Packaging hierarchy
- Units of measure
- Business rules
This helps prevent costly errors before publication.
Apply retailer-specific validation
Every retailer has its own additional requirements beyond GS1.
Qmica enables organisations to validate product information against retailer-specific business rules before publishing.
Examples include:
- Mandatory marketing content
- Images
- Logistics information
- Packaging requirements
- Market-specific attributes
- Customer-specific validations
This allows suppliers to prepare product data correctly for every trading partner.
