More efficiency through ETIM-classified product data

News / ETIM / Standardization  - 
The requirements for digital product data are constantly increasing in the HVAC and electrical industry. As a manufacturer, you can use ETIM classification to create the basis for high-quality product data, efficient processes and better visibility on the market.

In an increasingly digitalised industry, it is crucial for you as a manufacturer to provide your product data efficiently, correctly and in line with market requirements. Classifying your product data according to ETIM ensures that it is structured, unambiguous and usable across systems. This has the following advantages for you:

  1. Optimal visibility in e-commerce - With ETIM-classified data, your products appear correctly and completely in the online shops of wholesalers - including filter functions, technical details and comparison options. This increases your reach and your sales opportunities.
  2. Efficient collaboration with trading partners - wholesalers, platforms and planners rely on ETIM-classified data. Those who can supply this data are prioritised for listing and save time during data integration.
  3. Standardised, structured product data - ETIM ensures that your product information is standardised, unambiguous and system-neutral. This reduces sources of error and makes data maintenance considerably easier.
  4. Internationally applicable - ETIM is established in many countries. If you operate internationally, you benefit from standardised product data, as it can be used regardless of language or country.

The ETIM classification of your product data enables clear, standardised data communication and improves product presence in digital channels.

ITEK relies on AI-supported solutions for ETIM classification. Further information on ETIM classification can be found here: ETIM classification

 

ETIM is an international standard for article classification that enables a standardised and clear description of product characteristics. The ETIM Deutschland e. V. interest group aims to optimise trade in technical products through the internationally recognised standardisation of information. This includes ensuring data quality through a clear logic of product information and the definition of classes, characteristics and values for all products. This is done in consultation with all members and stakeholders, i.e. with the organisation's staff units and cooperation partners.
