The business processes between manufacturer and retailer are becoming more electronic. To increase your productivity, keep costs down, improve efficiency and effectiveness, it is necessary for all participants to apply structured article data with a consistent classification.
ENCODEX offers a catalogue platform for manufacturers, on which product information is standardised and quality checked. This standard allows automated communication between systems, by supplying essential basic data for Supply Chain Management, Efficient Consumer Response and Category Management.
