Dominate the Digital Shelf By Streamlining Product Onboarding

As a retailer, acquiring product information from your suppliers, distributors and partners in the right format is essential. Stibo Systems Product Data Onboarding accelerates the onboarding process while enhancing product information. This cloud service, which is part of our Product Experience Data Cloud solution, helps the world’s largest retailers accelerate time to market and deliver more engaging, revenue driving customer experiences. 

A dedicated solution for onboarding product data 

Product Data Onboarding enables you to streamline the exchange of product data with your suppliers, brand owners and other partners who provide that data.

The self-service tool guides your suppliers through intelligent data collection workflows while automatically validating information against your business rules and compliance requirements. It presents retail data requirements directly to suppliers, and as requirements change, it updates suppliers automatically, ensuring you are always capturing accurate data. As a Product Experience Data Cloud user, you can configure and maintain your own onboarding channels to manage specific onboarding requirements.

Don’t just onboard data, enhance it

Bring engaging, scalable below-the-fold content into the onboarding process. Product Data Onboarding enables you to easily define your enhanced content requirements, then review and accept the supplier submitted content in parallel to the product listing. This delivers improved consistency and a better shopping experience for customers by ensuring all content has consistent layout, storytelling and styling across brands.

Reduce manual effort for supplier content 

Product Data Onboarding saves your retail organization considerable manual effort, accelerates time to market and reduces acquisition costs. It enables you to manage large volumes of product data from thousands of suppliers and ensure data is validated for format and completeness before it enters your product information management (PIM) system. In return, automatic status updates and feedback are sent back to suppliers, ensuring they are aware of any further required actions.

Automated workflows cut manual effort by 50% when processing supplier-submitted content for ecommerce use. Instead of weeks spent reformatting data, standardized templates convert content to your requirements in days. This reduces operational costs and accelerates time to market while automated compliance checks ensure quality without manual review. 

Built for global scale 

New assortments or extended lines can easily be added without additional resources. This makes Product Data Onboarding ideal for implementing your long-tail omnichannel commerce strategies.

Customer segments can vary by region, and so does the content that resonates with them. Product Data Onboarding supports global channels, markets and multiple languages for retail organizations that require market-specific data. Language and context mapping enable distinct, market-specific product stories, so you can drive more conversions as you scale operations across the globe. It also enables you to receive market-differentiated and more precise product information, leading to enhanced compliance with local regulations and increased sales. 

Product Data Onboarding’s multi-dimensional data layers enable you to break down product data by market and language simultaneously and thus cover, for example, a multi-linguistic market. As a component of Product Experience Data Cloud, the innate compatibility with our PIM entails a seamless, one-to-one representation of the PIM data model in Product Data Onboarding. This eliminates the need for additional configurations, providing you with a simplified and efficient integration process. 

Reduce complexity and the need for multiple, costly integrations

Product Data Onboarding supports content aggregation from other sources such as content service providers (CSPs), enabling you to receive data that’s already been collected, aggregated and validated. This powerful tool ensures that complete high-quality data and images are included in one simplified onboarding process without the need for costly, labor-intensive individual integrations. 

It also allows you to focus on data governance and internal execution of data management rather than on managing data collection.
