While the benefits of data synchronization are established, many retailers are concerned about supplier readiness and the Return On Investment (ROI). 1SYNC overcomes those concerns by providing the most populated Data Pool in the market and advanced services that make it easier for a retailer to build its business case. 1SYNC’s Recipient Data Pool solution has four modules:
Item Management
1SYNC’s Item Management module is a GS1 standards-compliant global master repository for item information that is always materially current with the Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) global data synchronization standards and certification requirements. The module supports core item attributes, and target market attributes and values required to support real-world trading relationships. This module can also support synchronization for specialized verticals such as Direct Store Delivery (DSD), Hardlines, and Private Label items.
Price & Promotion
1SYNC’s Recipient Data Pool solution contains a master repository for retailers' cost and promotion data. Our system allows pricing data to be synchronized, at multiple levels of both the supplier and the retailer, down to the store level. The system is flexible to meet the broad needs of the DSD community, including soda, snacks, bread, and beer.
New Item Introduction
For many retailers, taking new items from their suppliers is a slow, manual, and error-prone process. Our New Item Introduction Management module provides productivity efficiencies by eliminating paper forms. This module is integrated with our Item Management module, so the GDSN attributes are auto-populated — improving data accuracy and speeding items to the store shelf.
Retail Specific Solution
This module enables 1SYNC customers to store and synchronize attributes that are specific to a retailer. These may range from category attributes or consumer selling attributes.
