Albany, N.Y. and Chicago (PRWEB) October 01, 2013
CommerceHub, the industry leading drop ship merchandising and fulfillment platform, announced today the release of ProductStream™ at the Shop.org Annual Summit. ProductStream automates the exchange and management of item data, images and product content between retailers and suppliers to quickly make products available for sale online.
“We are excited to unveil ProductStream to the e-commerce industry,” said Frank Poore, founder and CEO of CommerceHub. “Retailers and suppliers have long been waiting for a simple solution to the time consuming and labor intensive process of mapping and customizing each unique partner’s product data. Retailers are looking to dramatically increase the number of products they offering online. Since product content management is an enormous bottleneck, we’re seeing extreme demand from both our retailers and suppliers to get on the platform as soon as possible.”
Retailers have different formats and requirements for publishing products on their online storefronts. Suppliers in turn spend considerable time customizing spreadsheets with item data and product content for each specific retailer only to find that it takes upwards of three months for most retailers to post large assortments of products for sale.
ProductStream will save retailers and suppliers significant time and money by automating the exchange of product content in a manner that enables every supplier to easily conform to each retailer’s unique posting requirements. More importantly, by reducing the time it takes to post products for sale online, ProductStream directly increases the amount of revenue retailers and suppliers earn from each product.
For retailers, ProductStream will provide a single online view of all of the products their suppliers are selling, as well as the tools and services to take the description, prices, images and other descriptive attributes and transform them into the format most appropriate for the retailer’s online storefront.
For suppliers, ProductStream will provide a single product catalog to which all of their retail partners have easy access online, as well as step-by-step directions on how to get those products for sale on a retailer’s storefront in the most efficient way.
