Data Services for Retailers
Retailers obtain product information from many sources and must make it complete, consistent and correct for e-commerce, inventory management, business intelligence, merchandizing and a host of other reasons. Retailers are disproportionately dependent on external sources of product information and those who can find a way to self-manage and control that information have a significant business advantage.
