CE Product Central Master Data Needs

• Defining rich data attributes, esp. for multichannel retailers and different purposes for the use of product data (such as listing, logistics, marketing, sales, on-shelf information, …)

• Tracking & Tracing at item/component level providing accurate and up-to-date product information

• Increasing the availability of relevant product information at low cost to retailers and consumers

• All supply chain partners identifying and describing products in the same way to reduce costs, data errors and inconsistencies

• Efficient way of collecting master data , e.g.

• in order to keep information automatically up-to-date (no complicated manual work)

• for marketing purposes and consumer information, e.g. for product comparisons on retailer websites

• Increasing the quality of master data – ideally provided by suppliers/manufacturers themselves referencing unique (GS1) identification keys and globally valid standards

Goal of the CE PCMD BNG

Develop a standard with product specific attributes and a

classification system for the Consumer Electronics industry

to use the GDSN.

GDSN and Data Accuracy:

Output from this work group will be the global use of the GDSN for Consumer Electronic

products. The initiative aims to demonstrate that the GDSN is uniquely positioned to meet

current and emerging requirements for electronic product catalogue data.
