The ability to manage
the quality of product information is a growing challenge
for manufacturers and retailers. In order to drive costs out
of internal systems and the supply chain, establishing and
maintaining accurate product information is becoming a basic
requirement for conducting business.
ACNielsen applies
proven product information management expertise to address
this growing need. Our local experience is combined with global
expertise to deliver solutions across more than 100 countries
- providing solutions within and across target markets.
Internal
and External Data Alignment
ACNielsen Global Passport Services are designed to assist
companies to create, manage and communicate product information
within legacy systems and with trading partners. As the industry
moves towards synchronized data exchange, we can help you
face the key challenges of both internal and external data
alignment - providing outsourced coding, validation and storage
of product information.
Enable Global Data Synchronization
ACNielsen can help you align your internal information sources
by understanding the range of user needs within the company
and accommodating these needs within a single product information
masterfile. We carry out this process across different systems
and locations - eliminating overlapping information needs
and distinguishing unique information requirements.
Leadership in Global Industry Standards
Data Quality Management is not a one-time effort. Product
information needs to be continuously synchronized with trading
partners and maintained in accordance with the requirements
of emerging and evolving global data standards. ACNielsen
is at the forefront of standards development - promoting and
ensuring standards compliance.
Global
Product Classification
GS1 Global Product Classification provides both manufacturers
and retailers with a global standard for classifying product
information. This gives trading partners access to a common
language for grouping products alongside their own internal
or external classification frameworks.
Global Product Classification
allows trading partners to communicate more efficiently and
accurately throughout their supply chain activities and is
a key enabler to the data synchronization process.
- Facilitated by the Global Commerce Initiative (GCI) -
a global user group comprised of the world’s biggest
multi-national manufacturers and retailers
- Owned by GS1 (formerly EAN International and UCC)
- Hosted and managed by ACNielsen as the service provider
to the industry
Product
Classification Service
ACNielsen ensures that all product information is aligned
to the latest version of industry standards. We offer manufacturers
and retailers the potential to link the emerging Global Product
Classification with their own legacy systems - ensuring that
industry standards and in-house category standards can co-exist
within the organization.
Strategic
Partners
ACNielsen has partnered with Agentrics for the launch of the Agentrics Data Quality Program, enabling retailers and suppliers
to achieve the level of data quality necessary to realize
a higher return on their investment in data synchronization.
