MULTIPLE SOURCES OF DATA
One of the biggest roadblocks for distributors is managing high volumes of product content from numerous manufacturers in disparate formats. Not only do they have to rely on more than one source for data to cover their entire catalog, but they are burdened with the constant task of manipulating multiple, disparate files into a consistent format for their unique webstores.LIMITED DATA, LOW-TECH SOLUTIONS
They might receive data through one or more industry-specific providers, which are by definition limited in membership, specifically with respect to participating manufacturers/brands. 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.BAD DATA, BAD EXPERIENCE
All of this limits the amount and quality of information being passed along and displayed on websites and digital apps, which results in a poor experience for end users (and lost sales).DIFFICULT, COSTLY PROCESS
This leaves 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.
But there IS a better way.
