Product data is the central building block in e-business. The digital exchange of this information forms the base of almost all business processes from purchasing to production to sales. Most importantly, to ensure seamless communication between business partners, it requires a common language that underlies the exchange of information: introducing BMEcat and GS1 XML as e-business standards that make successful and efficient digital business processes possible. 

The precise classification of this information ensures that products are classified in a uniform group structure. For example, to compare them with other products. In addition, product data classification is used to uniquely describe a product by means of characteristics in order to enable a quick search via product characteristics. Find out how you can structure and classify your own product data using our B2B catalog solution e-proCAT.
