"As an agent for the global retail industry, Agentrics is promoting the merits of data synchronization by making it more accessible to retailers and suppliers everywhere.” The interconnected data pools will allow suppliers and retailers to exchange standard product information, such as dimensions, descriptions and prices, as well as attributes not supported by the GDSN that are specific to a particular retailer or geographic region. By ensuring that item information in the retailer’s system is accurate and up-to-date according to the supplier, global data synchronization improves planning, forecasting, and in-store availability.
