A strong need for extensive, correct and easily exchangeable product information

Within various companies of the holding company, a strong need has arisen for extensive, correct and easily exchangeable product information. In the past, the demand for product information mainly came from online sales, but now this demand comes from all parts of the organization. A modern supplier cannot do without accurate product information.

In addition to the fact that several companies within the holding company have overlapping assortments, the companies mainly have the same information needs. TABS Holland has therefore decided to set up one system for collecting, publishing, and maintaining of product information for all its subsidiaries. SAP Product Content Management was chosen for this purpose. The seamless integration with e-Commerce and SAP ECC has been important in this choice.

By distinguishing between generic and commercial product information, product features are only processed once, after which they are available to all companies. The companies themselves have the possibility to add their own commercial texts, images, videos, and other media.

There is a lot of exchange of product information, such as input by suppliers, enrichment from external sources, linking with internal and external systems and delivery to customers for resale. To make this exchange of information run as smoothly as possible, several standards are applied. Among which:

  • GS1 provides a central source for the exchange of article data in the food and drugstore, the DIY and garden, and the healthcare line of business.
  • ETIM, standard for classification of product data in the construction and installation line of business.
  • Construction Information Model (BIM) is a 3D model in which all information required for construction is processed.
