Data Synchronization

Data alignment between trading partners requires each organisation to review all internal processes involved in data management, and more specifically those delivering product updates.

In order to publishing their products’ data catalogues, consumer goods organisations need to:

• Control the codification of their products
• Manage all required attributes for each single product (GTIN)
• Verify the validity and the quality of data
• Agree on the synchronization mode for updates
• Agree on a specific format of dialogue with their customer 
  
• Comply international standards such as EDIFACT, XML, X12 …
• Communicate with global registries (GS1 1Synch…), and LCP-Local Catalogue Providers
