Use of XS technology in purchasing cooperations

As a purchasing cooperation, you can use the XS technology to bundle the data deliveries of the various suppliers into a uniform, high-quality database.

The goal of the purchasing cooperation was to optimize the supplied product data and the data distribution process for their private labels. To do this, they used the XS technology to set up an individually configured platform, choosing from various software add-ons to create the right ones for their use case. These include a supplier portal with scorecard via which the suppliers of the various private labels provide their product data and receive a score for the respective data quality. The platform checks the provided data for completeness and compliance with industry standards. With the scorecard, the data quality can be viewed at any time by the supplier as well as by the purchasing cooperation. This reduces ambiguities regarding data content and quality and increases process transparency.

Furthermore, a customer portal has been set up for the purchasing cooperation into which the checked product data of the suppliers of all private labels are transferred. From there, the product data as well as marketing and sales documents are distributed to other software systems such as the internal PIM system or ausschreiben.de.
