Product data is a silent sales team. Your products are competing for attention in search engines and websites. It means the information must be high quality.

Data doesn’t only mean product attributes and performance information, it also means images and photos because, more often than not, that’s what buyers see first.

EDATA’s smart: it automatically reviews the manufacturers’ data inside and ranks it according to strict quality standards.

Every manufacturer wants to achieve Gold Standard data and a growing number are. The EDA Data Services team works closely with each manufacturer to provide practical support to improve their data quality.
