From a traditional supplier to a digital partner

What does digitalization mean for distributors? On the one hand they can get closer to the customer, on the other they can generate additional value. Consistent data and interfaces, new service offerings, and data-based business models create competitive advantages over providers that remain sole product suppliers.
Digitalization changes everything – including the way we buy thingsOptimal product data improve visibility in the Web and simplify the buying decision. This becomes even easier with the electrical technical information model (ETIM). This well established standard is language-independent thanks to standardized de- and encoding and can be implemented into existing software easily.

Product master data

Keep your merchandise management system up-to-date with industry-specific prices, technology, logistics, and market-related information. As a result, you’ll have constant access to information on every product in your range. In addition to the xml format in accordance with the BMEcat standard and an MS Access database, Siemens also relies on the ETIM data model – for maximum compatibility.
