Making the most of manufacturers’ business data

Stibo Systems Platform consolidates data from various sources into a single, unified view, offering manufacturers a comprehensive perspective of their product information.

By integrating and standardizing data from different systems and sources, manufacturers can ensure that all departments are working with consistent and up-to-date information. This comprehensive data visibility enhances operational efficiency by reducing errors and redundancies, allowing for more streamlined processes and improved collaboration across the organization.

Consolidated data supports better decision making by providing reliable information for advanced analytics and reporting, leading to more informed, strategic decisions.

This unified data approach not only improves product lifecycle management but also helps in meeting compliance and regulatory standards more effectively, thereby boosting overall productivity and competitiveness in the market.

Automated workflows help ensure that the quality, accuracy and reliability of data are integrated into business processes. By integrating data governance policies into workflows, data validation checks are performed in real time, and data updates are seamlessly shared across all systems. This accelerates data processing times and ensures that all stakeholders have access to accurate and up-to-date information.

With automated workflows, risks created by human error are reduced at the point of entry, thereby preventing errors from being replicated and compromising data accuracy and reporting downstream.

Stibo Systems Platform employs advanced encryption techniques to secure data both at rest and in transit, ensuring that confidential data such as intellectual property, supplier information and customer details are protected from unauthorized access and breaches.

By enforcing strict access controls and authentication protocols, only authorized personnel can access and modify critical data, thus reducing the risk of internal and external threats.

With Stibo Systems Platform, manufacturers can define multi-level product hierarchies so that all related product information is systematically structured, from broad categories down to individual SKUs.

This hierarchical organization simplifies data management, making it easier to navigate complex product portfolios and ensure all stakeholders have a clear understanding of product relationships and attributes.

The platform’s product hierarchy capabilities enhance reporting and analytics by enabling more precise data segmentation and aggregation. Manufacturers can generate detailed reports and insights based on specific levels of the product hierarchy, facilitating better strategic planning and decision making.

The ability to easily update and maintain product hierarchies ensures that product specifications remain current and accurate, optimizing inventory management.

Stibo Systems Platform allows manufacturers to automate compliance reporting, significantly reducing the manual effort and time required to compile regulatory submissions.

By centralizing and standardizing compliance-related data, manufacturers can maintain accurate records, track regulatory changes, and ensure all necessary documentation is up to date and readily accessible for audits and inspections.

Stibo Systems Platform allows manufacturers to adhere to various industry standards and exchange formats through effective data management. Its robust support includes:

• ETIM, ETIM XC and ETIM eXchange, ensuring seamless data interchange using XML and JSON formats
• BMECat standard
• eClass and eClass Advance product classification standards
• GDSN and GPC for real-time product information synchronization and consistent global product categorization
• UNSPEC standards

The scalable and flexible platform further supports efficient data management and compliance with standardized template management and creation, workflow automation and the integration of machine-learning and AI technologies.
