Synchronize product information across trading partners for a competitive advantage
Sterling Commerce delivers flexible Global Data Synchronization (GDS) solutions. These solutions enable suppliers to synchronize internal data for greater efficiency and respond to retailer GDS mandates. But the benefits to suppliers go beyond cleaning up internal data and attaining compliance. Sterling Commerce GDS solutions also make it possible for suppliers to enjoy the benefits of GDS-related initiatives, such as RFID; collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment; vendor-managed inventory; and scan-based trading.
Ensure success for you and your customers
To fully exploit your business opportunities — not just those of your customers — any profitable GDS initiative must move from the inside out. Sharing data externally can only result in success once internal data accuracy is established. And that’s exactly what Sterling Commerce GDS solutions enable you to do. In the process, you will:
- Increase order and invoice accuracy
- Identify and correct internal data discrepancies
- Decrease retailer out-of-stocks
- Speed adoption of your new products
- Realize more timely replenishment orders
- Reduce the likelihood of retailer returns
- Lower the cost of goods
- Establish the foundation for adopting RFID
Sterling Commerce hosted solutions evolve with your changing needs. Start with something simple for quick compliance, then move up to a more advanced solution when the time is right. Your choice of configurations includes:
