Gain a Competitive Edge: The Business Benefits of Consuming GDSN Data Pools with Your PIM

What is GDSN and How Do Data Pools Work?

The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) is the world’s largest network of interoperable data pools, allowing companies to access accurate and standardized product information seamlessly. Businesses in industries such as retail, healthcare, and consumer goods rely on GDSN to receive and synchronize product data efficiently while complying with global standards.

GDSN functions through data pools, which act as centralized repositories where suppliers publish standardized product information. Retailers, distributors, and other trading partners can subscribe to these data pools to automatically receive updates, ensuring that product information remains accurate and up to date.

Why Consuming GDSN Data Pools with a PIM is a Game-Changer

While GDSN provides structured access to product data, integrating and managing this data effectively can be challenging without a proper system. A Product Information Management (PIM) system helps businesses seamlessly consume, enrich, and distribute GDSN data, ensuring optimal data quality and operational efficiency.

Key Business Benefits of Using a PIM for GDSN Data Consumption

✅ Access Accurate & Standardized Product Data By leveraging a PIM, businesses can automatically retrieve accurate and industry-compliant product data from GDSN data pools, ensuring consistency across all channels.

✅ Enhance Efficiency & Reduce Manual Work A PIM streamlines the ingestion, validation, and enrichment of GDSN data, reducing manual errors and optimizing workflow efficiency.

✅ Improve Internal Collaboration With a PIM centralizing GDSN data, different teams—marketing, eCommerce, compliance—can work from a single, up-to-date source of truth.

✅ Accelerate Product Launches A PIM allows businesses to quickly integrate GDSN data into their systems, enabling faster go-to-market strategies and reducing time-to-shelf.

✅ Strengthen Data Governance & Compliance Using a PIM ensures that all imported GDSN data aligns with internal business rules and industry regulations, minimizing compliance risks.
