TrueSource

The Trusted Source of Product Data

Managing and entering the same product data in different formats, for multiple trading partners is an unnecessary overhead. It leads to errors and additional costs in warehousing, delivery, merchandising and other commercial processes.

Bad data is a £billion issue in the UK. The Data Crunch report showed that core product data held in leading retailers’ systems was inconsistent 80% of the time.

TrueSource is our data quality solution available to all members. It allows suppliers to enter product data once and share it with all their trading partners.
