Solution Examples:

Single view of product information provides a better multi-channel commerce experience by improving customer experiences with consistent, complete, and accurate product information. It also provides complete and consistent product information across all commerce channels e.g. eCommerce, store, kiosk, mobile, print catalog, GDSN

Single View of suppliers and partners gives organizations a single reliable source of information to use in communicating to partners, providing effective means for suppliers to submit product data via Supplier Portal or GDSN interfaces and capture and report back data errors at the time of submission. This significantly reduces time and cost and improves productivity with the partner and supplier network.
