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.
GS1 and GDSN form the foundation of global product data exchange, but publishing compliant product data across multiple markets is often more complex than it seems. Discover how GS1, GDSN, regional requirements, and the right technology work together to ensure accurate, efficient, and compliant product data worldwide.
On June 9, our team will attend PIM at the Zoo, an inspiring event organized by our partner Xsarus. The event brings together professionals from across the digital commerce ecosystem to exchange knowledge, experiences, and best practices around Product Information Management (PIM).
Digital Product Passports (DPP) are quickly becoming a key topic across European industries. Driven by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), DPP will require companies to provide structured and transparent product information throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Digital growth requires more than just a powerful PIM system. Organizations need full control over data quality, standardization, and compliance with international standards such as GS1 and ETIM.
Product data quality doesn’t end at the PIM. For manufacturers, brand owners, and distributors, the real challenge often starts when product data needs to comply with external standards such as GS1 and ETIM — and when that data must be published reliably across markets and channels. This is exactly where the collaboration between Qmica and Plytix delivers tangible value.
In today’s dynamic e-commerce landscape, accurate, up-to-date, and standardized product data is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s a prerequisite for success. That’s why more and more organizations are choosing the GS1 Connector: a smart solution that automatically exchanges product data between suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers in line with GS1 standards. The result? Greater speed, fewer errors, and stronger online performance.
At Qmica, we believe in the power of collaboration. To further strengthen and structure our partnerships with PIM Vendors, we are introducing three partnership levels: Gold Partner, Silver Partner, and Certified Partner. These levels offer PIM Vendors flexibility and growth opportunities aligned with their strategic choices and ambitions around GS1 integrations.
