Data syndication: Structured extraction instead of manual detours
Why clever data syndication is crucial for manufacturers
Data syndication enables the media-neutral, automated provision of product data in external systems - adapted to the technical, structural and content requirements of the target channels. Whether marketplaces, store systems, customer portals or B2B platforms: Each channel requires specific data formats and content.
With a central platform for data syndication, you retain control - and at the same time reduce manual effort, media disruptions and the risk of inconsistent product information.
Typical challenges when onboarding supplier data
In retail, the quality of product data determines visibility, conversion and customer satisfaction. But when data comes in from dozens or hundreds of supplier sources every day, manual data onboarding processes quickly reach their limits.
Heterogeneous formats
A wide variety of formats such as excel, BMEcat, Json and XML are provided.
Inconsistent product information
Product information is missing or provided inconsistently, usually in the supplier's classification.
Lack of data coordination
There is no central coordination of data, statuses are not displayed or maintained.
Competencies and responsibilities for coordination and approvals unclear
High coordination effort and unclear responsibility between departments involved.

For which retailers is forbeyond.gateway the right choice?
The platform for retailers who are confronted with a large number of suppliers, products and data formats but do not have a specific onboarding solution.
forbeyond.gateway is the preferred solution for retailers who want to connect their suppliers in an efficient and structured way. Product data from a wide variety of sources should be standardized and automatically transferred to the target system. Existing IT infrastructures should not be replaced, but expanded in a targeted and future-proof manner.
gateway is very valuable for organizations that are looking for central, scalable data onboarding that combines data quality and efficiency. The data flow extends from gateway to the target systems such as PIM, PXM, ERP, stores or marketplaces. This means that only a few stable interfaces need to be built and maintained, which significantly simplifies integration and at the same time makes the system landscape easier to maintain and more flexible.
