Suppliers are faced with the challenge to collect, manage and distribute high quality product content to retailers and distributors.

Suppliers reduce costs through lower resource requirements and cost effective maintenance. This is achieved by consolidating product content in one location and managing with a single interface. Suppliers benefit from Software as a Service (SaaS) that requires no hardware or software installations. Suppliers manage complete product data, including marketing content and logistics data.

Suppliers create, aggregate and distribute complete product content, including GDSN logistics data and marketing content to drive product sales. The Supplier Portal application provides single-source collection for suppliers and it is the entrance point for product content in the Edgenet Network.  High quality product content in the Edgenet Network is delivered to in-store applications, print and e-commerce. The Supplier Portal provides a number of features to allow suppliers to manage, enrich and distribute high quality product information in an easy and efficient manner.

These are just a few Supplier Portal highlights:
