A Great PIM Deserves a Great GS1 Connection

The best product data solutions are built by combining strengths. PIM vendors, implementation partners and specialised GS1 technology providers each play an important role in helping brands manage, transform and share reliable product information across markets.

Product information management is only part of the journey

PIM platforms play a crucial role in helping organisations centralise, manage and enrich their product information.

But when that information needs to be shared with retailers, distributors and trading partners through GS1, additional complexity arises.

Different markets have different requirements. GS1 data models and validation rules evolve. And publishing product information to multiple GS1-certified datapools requires specialised knowledge and technology.

For PIM vendors and implementation partners, this raises an important question:

Should all this GS1-specific complexity be built and maintained within the PIM, or is there a smarter way?

Combining strengths through smart partnerships

At Qmica, we believe in a best-of-breed approach where each technology provider focuses on what it does best.

PIM vendors – Manage and enrich product information

PIM platforms provide the foundation for structured, consistent and reliable product information across an organisation.

Implementation partners – Optimise systems and processes

System integrators and implementation partners help businesses design, implement and optimise their product information processes and technology landscape.

Qmica – Transform, validate and publish to GS1

Qmica provides the specialised connection between existing product information systems and GS1 requirements.

Our platform helps organisations:

• Transform existing product attributes and values into GS1-compliant structures.
• Identify missing mandatory product information through gap analysis.
• Validate product data against relevant GS1 requirements.
• Register and publish product information to supported GS1 datapools.
• Keep GS1 data models and validation requirements aligned with ongoing standards updates.

This allows PIM vendors and implementation partners to offer GS1 connectivity without having to develop and maintain every GS1-specific capability themselves.

One connection. Multiple markets.

For brands operating internationally, GS1 data exchange can become particularly challenging.

Requirements may differ between countries, retailers and datapools. Maintaining these differences directly within a PIM can increase implementation effort and ongoing maintenance costs.

Qmica acts as a dedicated transformation, validation and publication layer between the PIM or ERP environment and supported GS1 networks.

Keep your PIM. Connect once. Publish everywhere.

With Qmica, organisations can reuse their existing product information while adapting it to the requirements of different markets and trading partners.

Let's build better solutions together

We actively collaborate with PIM vendors, system integrators and technology partners who want to extend their offering with specialised GS1 connectivity.

By combining expertise, we can help customers reduce complexity, accelerate implementations and simplify international product data exchange.
