Product data exchange between wholesale and specialized trade with Open Masterdata

In today's digital age, market partners in wholesale and trade depend on the timeliness and quality of data. Therefore, the exchange of high-quality product data is becoming increasingly important in order to be able to transfer it into existing systems and process it further.

The Open Masterdata communication standard offers the possibility of exchanging product data between wholesalers and retailers on demand. The aim of Open Masterdata is to optimize processes in the trade and to improve the supply of information. The standard was developed by the Bundesverband Bausoftware (BVBS), the DG-Haustechnik and the Zentralverband Sanitär Heizung Klima (ZVSHK). In the long term, this will replace the outdated DATANORM article exchange standard format.
