Product data as well as marketing and sales documents are needed to successfully market the articles. For example, no one would buy a pair of trousers online if there was no picture of the article. But this is often precisely where the problem lies: standardised data quality that is available to you as a wholesaler across all suppliers.
Studies show that for 71% of companies, creating a uniform data and system basis is the biggest challenge when it comes to digitalisation in the sales force. This includes, for example, making data from online channels available to the sales force in order to provide better advice. (ECC Cologne, 2022)
This makes it all the more important that data, and product data in particular, is of high quality. Product data is what makes sales possible in the first place, but is also of great importance for e-commerce, logistics and shipping. After all, comprehensive digitalisation in wholesale is only possible if high-quality and uniform product data is provided by suppliers. Only then can automated processes and efficient digital distribution be guaranteed.
In addition to customer satisfaction, improved product data quality also increases the conversion rate. The conversion rate measures the ratio of visitors to your website to actual buyers. High-quality product data enables your customers to obtain accurate and comprehensive information about the products you offer.
This contributes to a positive customer experience and strengthens trust in your brand. This in turn leads to a higher conversion rate, as visitors are more likely to make a purchase if they are sure that they will get what they expect.
