Efficiently exchange product data with a datapool integration
A PIM system helps you manage product information centrally. Datapools enhance this process by storing and exchanging product data, such as size, weight and technical specifications, according to fixed formats and standards. This creates a streamlined data exchange with suppliers, distributors, wholesalers and other channels.
Benefits of a datapool
Centralization & efficiency
With an integrated datapool, product information is accessible in one central location for all players within the supply chain. Thus, everyone works with the same correct and up-to-date product data. This centralization results in more efficient collaboration and reduces the risk of errors.
Compliance with laws and regulations
Standardized datapools make it easier to comply with laws and regulations. For example, when it comes to mandatory product information on safety, sustainability or traceability.
Faster time-to-market
Thanks to automated and streamlined data exchange via data pools, product information can be made available faster across different channels. This shortens time-to-market and provides competitive advantage.
A suitable datapool for every sector
