PDX Onboarding enables retailers to quickly acquire high-quality product data from suppliers, manufacturers, and brands. From product onboarding to product acceptance, the PDX Onboarding solution automates communication between retailers and their suppliers regarding the retailer’s data standards and requirements.
The PDX Onboarding solution connects with the STEP product MDM solution to enable manufacturers, suppliers, and brands to receive requirements from the retailer, such as new SKUs, new logistics requirements, and updates to regulatory data.
Two-way communication is central to how Product MDM and PDX Onboarding work together to support customers. This 'always on' communication provides manufacturers, suppliers, and brands with full visibility into the retailer’s product data standard requirements. All changes made by the retailer are maintained within—and made accessible via—the product MDM solution, and the ‘Accepted’ / ‘Rejected’ status information relevant to the incoming products automatically flows between the two systems.
Initial setup for the PDX Onboarding channel can be done using one of two approaches:
-
The pre-configured Accelerator for Retail solution
-
The PDX Onboarding Channel Configurator which allows a channel to be created from an existing STEP solution using a wizard-type setup tool within STEP
Both approaches are described in this documentation. For additional information about which approach is optimal for your business requirements, contact Stibo Systems.
