GS1 Product Data Management for Pet Care Suppliers

Pet food manufacturers and pet care suppliers must provide increasingly detailed and reliable product information to retailers, wholesalers and online marketplaces. Accurate product data is essential for efficient logistics, regulatory compliance and a consistent customer experience.


Qmica enables suppliers to transform existing ERP or PIM data into GS1-compliant product information, validate it against the latest standards and publish confidently to GS1-certified data pools and retail partners.
