With increased requests from retailers to synchronize higher value information — suppliers need a Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN)-compliant Source Data Pool that meets all of their needs. Only 1SYNC has advanced solutions enabling the synchronization of higher value information — maximizing the Return on Investment (ROI) for suppliers. 1SYNC’s Source Data Pool solution has four modules:
Item Management
1SYNC’s Item Management module is a GS1 standards-compliant global master repository for item information that is current with the Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) global data synchronization standards and certification requirements. The module supports core item attributes, target market attributes and values, and retailer-specific attributes and values required to support real-world trading relationships. This module can also support synchronization for specialized verticals such as Direct Store Delivery (DSD), Hardlines, and Private Label items.
Price & Promotion Management
Price & Promotion Management is the master repository for price and promotion data and also includes authorization and party (Global Location Number/GLN) relationship-specific functionality. The solution helps reduce invoice discrepancies by allowing synchronization of price information down to the store level. In addition to a base price, multiple promotions can be applied to the same product, to the same retailer location number, with overlapping timelines.
1SYNC Brand Identity
The 1SYNC Brand Identity solution enables the protection, validation, and ongoing monitoring of brand owner-specific attributes throughout a company’s data synchronization network. This solution is important to any company that has Global Trade Identification Numbers (GTINs) represented in the marketplace by multiple sources, or wishes to enforce data quality and accuracy on item information. Regardless of your role (manufacturer, supplier, distributor, wholesaler, purchasing agent, broker, or brand owner) this solution provides demonstrated value for your data synchronization efforts.

New Item Introduction Management
For many manufacturers, introducing new items to their trading community is a slow, manual, and error-prone process. Our New Item Introduction Management module provides productivity efficiencies by eliminating paper forms. This module is integrated with our Item Management module, so most of the attributes are auto-populated — improving data accuracy and speeding items to the store shelf.
Retail Specific Solution
This module enables 1SYNC customers to store and synchronize attributes that are specific to a retailer. These may range from category attributes or consumer selling attributes.
