Issues + Impact Facing the Industry
Until now, the exchange of product data within the Construction industry has been fragmented and incomplete due to some important realities:
MULTIPLE SOURCES OF DATA, many of them dedicated to individual industry verticals, only serve small segments of the industry and are therefore LIMITED in membership and participation.
Often industry- or buying group-owned, these data sources also LACK the TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERTISE to keep up with the demands of an ever-evolving digital commerce landscape.
As a result, no one has been able to offer a SINGLE SOURCE of data exchange for these complementary and overlapping verticals—not to mention across multiple company types, i.e. wholesale and retail distributors, as well as contractors and other end users.
This leaves manufacturers and distributors with DIFFICULT and COST-PROHIBITIVE obstacles that ultimately deprive end users, and the industry at large, of the rich, valuable and complete digital product information needed to effectively research and make purchasing decisions.
