Data synchronization
has been identified as a key opportunity for retailers to increase operational
productivity and improve the quality and timeliness of data. Emerging standards
in the retail industry are facilitating the uniform exchange of data and data
formats, which will create efficiencies and improve speed to market. Retailers
are responding by developing strategies to facilitate the exchange of data with
their suppliers and external parties.
In developing such strategies,
retailers need to ensure that any data synchronization solution is secure and
can be adapted to global standards such as GS1. Additionally, the solution must
also be flexible enough to allow synchronization with suppliers that have not
yet integrated with existing data pools or standard.
Soft Solutions'
ibs DATASYNC provides retailers with a complete data
synchronization solution for exchanging data with suppliers and external
sources. Soft Solutions is currently one of the few merchandise software
providers that offers a fully GS1-certified retail data synchronization
solution |

 |
| ibs DATASYNC can be installed by
the retailer to act as a data recipient or recipient data pool, as well as by a
supplier as a source data pool or GS1 data pool. In addition to being fully
compatible with the market and international standards, it supports one-to-one
protocols to communicate with suppliers not compliant with such standards.
