Using PDX, the vendor will onboard and submit their product information to the retailer. The following is a typical process followed by the vendor.
- Import Data: Vendors can upload product data and assets either from Excel or using the PDX APIs to integrate with their internal systems.
- Master Data: Vendors can view, and when required, manage imported product data and digital assets.
- Categorization: Vendors will manually select or create automation rules to map products to retailer categories.
- Mapping and Validation: To ensure they meet the retailer’s requirements, the vendor will map their master data attributes to the retailer-specific attributes, viewing any error messages, and using attribute value transformations or data edits to resolve errors.
- Process Management: From product onboarding and maintenance to viewing and responding to reject and return reasons, vendors can use PDX to manage the end-to-end process of syndicating their product information to the retailer.
