For Retailers – Multichannel Product Content Sourcing

High-quality product content  |  automated by the manufacturer  |  integrated into your own content

Quality requirements in terms of retail product information have drastically increased in recent years. Consumers expect increasingly comprehensive information in the e-commerce area, while marketing continuously searches for new ways of attaining consistent product communication tailored to target groups and channels. Manufacturers’ product ranges are continuously expanding in the meantime, which means that not only are the requirements in terms of quality increasing, so is the sheer volume of data that needs to be moved.

This task can only be mastered efficiently through the automated delivery of product content by manufacturers and suppliers. While this product content is already available in an electronic format and is usually also transferred to retailers in this manner, this is often still done using various means, in various formats and varying degrees of quality.

This is where BYRD comes into play: BYRD ensures the product content is integrated directly from various manufacturer and supplier sources – be it Excel or GS1 GDSN. Consistent data quality management ensures that retailers’ content quality requirements are guaranteed to be fulfilled.
