Data Importing Solutions for Distributors

Converting Price Lists into System Master Files

Data feeds that are used in On-line web stores must be of the highest quality because they are visible to customers.  High quality data can only be delivered by using professional data sources and rigorous workflow processes. We find that most large organizations currently have some issues with their core data.  This is because the data is usually entered manually by staff from different departments, who have different ideas on how to abbreviate product descriptions, categorise the products and who may be under extreme time pressure.  When you are desperately trying to raise a new purchase order for a new product with limited availability, you are not focused on data issues or making it look pretty!  But it is this very data that is transmitted to your reseller customers and frequently shows up in their web stores.  Typical common issues that we see are:-

Problem Effect
  • Part numbers are not accurately entered in manufacturer’s format
  • May cause problems in matching full product data
  • Will not return results in Google Searches by prospective customers when used in web stores
  • May cause incorrect orders which could increase product returns
  • Made Up Manufacturer Part Numbers
  • All of the above
  • Abbreviated Product Descriptions
  • Whilst these may be fine for internal staff – they are not suitable for use on external web sites – to vague and could lead to:
  • Orders not being placed
  • Inability to distinguish similar products in the product family by key features
  • Incorrect products ordered
  • Higher product returns
  • Inconsistent Product Description Formats
  • All of the above
  • Basic Product Hierarchies
  • Product hierarchies are limited to distributor hierarchies.  These internal hierarchies are frequently not detailed enough for external use, and do not assist in web store product navigation and selection
