Army Airforce Exchange Services Overview
Army Airforce Exchange Services is a member of GDSN™. Army Airforce Exchange Services suppliers can select Edgenet’s Big Hammer as their certified GDSN™ Data Pool.
With Edgenet's GDSN™ Data Pool, suppliers experience increased accuracy, improved efficiency and cost savings by managing and synchronizing GDSN™ data. As the largest data pool in North America for GDSN in the hardlines industry, Edgenet sets the highest standard with our exclusive progressive data quality service. No other GDSN data pool can match the level of validations, streamlined processes and expert support provided by Edgenet's Big Hammer data services.
Additionally, suppliers have the option to manage their marketing content and retailer specific data with Edgenet's single source solution. Suppliers can choose to drive demand for their products by sharing their product content with media sites, such as MSN.com, HomeChannelNews.com and BHG.com, providing increased product exposure to consumers and retail merchants.
Edgenet’s Big Hammer Data is the only solution that allows suppliers to manage all product data (marketing, GDSN and private data) in one location and within one interface. Suppliers can synchronize GDSN data with their retailers & distributors and also send marketing and private data to retailers and distributors in the Edgenet Network, plus extract data for internal company use and other trading partners.
Unlike other GDSN pools, Big Hammer has no need for suppliers to pay for a 3rd party solution to process data to another data pool. Compare our competitive pricing to any other certified GDSN™ provider. We encourage you to take the data challenge and see how much money you can save.
