Trading Partner Product Data Validation

Data quality is always important, but when it comes to collaboration between trading partners the quality of the data takes on an even greater significance. The exchange of high quality data between trading partners is the foundation stone of business-to-business eCommerce.

Suppliers such as consumer goods manufacturers for example need to ensure that data conforms to their customers’ standards and formats – including GS1 categories and the mandates of large retailers. But despite the existence of standards such as those provided by GS1 there continues to be a large degree of variation in the information and data required by different suppliers, partners and customers.

At the same time supplier organizations no longer control the origination of all of the data that is in key business systems. Much of it is created by their trading partners, customers and suppliers and so on down the information chain. To avoid problems suppliers need to ensure that their product data is validated and conforms to their trading partners’ quality requirements before it passed along the supply chain via data pools or directly with retailers and distributors.

Clavis Data Steward and Clavis Data Validation Services are the first data quality solutions that enables companies to deploy the centralized data quality rules and product data validation at all data collection processes even when those processes are initiated by trading partners or customers. They offers an intuitive, easily adopted and flexible product data validation solution that allows for the variation in requirements by only validating data against the appropriate and relevant data rules at the point of collection based on use-case context.
