E-Cataloguing...REQUEST QUOTE

of information on products and services

large product lines and several service
offerings, multiple buyers, complex supply-chains
and logistics; converting to an e-catalogue
system is a complex task and requires

The challenges
One of the key questions businesses
need to ask is that with all the technical
and operating requirements imposed on
me by either buyers or intermediaries,
how do I customize my data to comply with
their systems, how can I reduce the necessity
to re-key information and orders and how
do I keep my e-catalogue updated?
To this end, one need to have a well-structured
product/service database that uses recognized
national and international standards (beg.
ABN for business identification, ANZIC
codes for industry classification, UNSPC
for units of measure, EAN/UCC numbers
for product identification). Using such
standards means the catalogue information
can be mapped, transformed and searched
more effectively by potential buyers.
This approach reduces effort in recreating
and updating catalogue content, can adapt
quickly to changing technologies and applications,
and provide a basis for establishing a
scalable e-catalogue infrastructure.
