ENABLING SUPERIOR OMNI-CHANNEL COMMERCE
Today’s digitally empowered consumers engage with multiple channels over their buying journey whether it’s looking for recommendations on websites, checking prices on mobile phones or examining the product in brick-and-mortar stores. Cross-channel engagement extends beyond the buying process where consumers also expect customer service and product support to be delivered through a channel of their choice. This reality has placed tremendous pressure on organizations to increase their brand awareness, drive sales and provide service across multiple customer touch points. A fundamental impediment to realizing this vision is the lack of centralized and reliable product data to drive critical business processes across multiple channels. Innovit’s Product Information Management solution addresses this challenge by enabling organizations to centrally manage, localize, validate and syndicate product data to all customer facing channels as well as back-end applications, thereby enabling an efficient and scalable omni-channel commerce experience.
COMMON CHALLENGES
- Fragmentation of product data across different systems
- High variability of product data for different channels, target markets and trading partners
- Inaccurate, incomplete and inconsistent data
- Manual and error-prone processes
- Inaccurate and unreliable business analytics and reports
“Innovit Product Information Management delivers reliable product data to all customer touch points and internal business processes.”
INNOVIT PRODUCT INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Innovit Product Information Management empowers organizations to use a single application to define, manage, govern, localize and publish product data to multiple channels internally and externally. Flexible import templates provide the ability to on-board product and catalog data from multiple sources including suppliers and distributors. Dynamic and highly configurable workflows allow different internal and external users to collaborate on product definition during New Product Introduction (NPI) and change management processes. Native data quality capabilities and business rule validations ensure product data is accurate, complete and fit-for-purpose throughout the product lifecycle. Finally, flexible export formats and pre-packaged templates allow the syndication of relevant product data to trading partners and internal business applications in the applicable message format and desired frequency
