Data Quality
The success of data synchronization depends on the accuracy and consistency of the data being synchronized. Good quality data (data that is complete, consistent, accurate, time-stamped, and industry standards-based) is foundational to collaborative commerce and global data synchronization.
As a subsidiary of GS1 US, the standards body concerned with data quality in the US, and for the reasons listed above, 1SYNC places a strong emphasis on data quality. Industry studies have proven the tremendous value realized by trading partners who use accurate data to drive business benefits and maximize their return on data sync investments. Data quality has played a critical role in the improvement of logistics, warehouse management, space management, outbound shipping, new item introduction, financial processes, and customer service.
As experts in the field of data synchronization, we have the knowledge and resources necessary to help make high-quality data a reality at your organization. The links to the right provide additional information and tools to assist you in improving the quality of your data.
