For electrical distributors, the connection could provide faster access to updated, standardized product data used in ecommerce, enterprise resource planning, and quoting systems.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salsify and the Industry Data Exchange Association, or IDEA, have launched an integration that allows electrical manufacturers to use Salsify&#8217;s product information management system to send product data directly to IDEA Connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The companies announced the integration on Sept. 16. It replaces a process that could require manufacturers to export, reformat, and manually transfer product information before submitting it to IDEA Connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IDEA Connector provides standardized manufacturer product information to subscribing electrical distributors. Under the new integration, manufacturers using Salsify can map their product information to IDEA&#8217;s requirements and send validated updates directly from Salsify&#8217;s product information management, or PIM, system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The connection is available through an early access program for Salsify customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integration uses two prebuilt channels: one for core product information and another for category-specific attributes. Manufacturers map their data into the established structure once. Updates that meet applicable requirements can then flow directly into IDEA Connector without requiring a custom Salsify support process, according to the companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For distributors, the change could affect the product information feeding ecommerce sites, enterprise resource planning systems, quoting tools and other applications used to sell and manage products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement comes as electrical manufacturers and distributors continue to address gaps in product information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IDEA&#8217;s data standards are designed to give electrical manufacturers and distributors a common structure for exchanging product information. Manufacturers still must ensure that their information meets IDEA&#8217;s formatting and attribute requirements before it is published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Salsify integration is intended to automate more of that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incomplete or inconsistent product attributes can create problems downstream for distributors, particularly when the information is used for ecommerce, product search, quoting and other digital sales processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;The Salsify channel also helps Atkore keep its product attributes aligned with IDEA Connector requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the integration, manufacturers using Salsify either had to reformat exports to meet IDEA requirements or work with Salsify support personnel to build and maintain a custom channel as those requirements changed, according to the companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new connection is designed to eliminate those additional steps by connecting the systems directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Wentz, IDEA&#8217;s vice president of sales and marketing, said the integration is intended to reduce work for manufacturers while preserving the standards distributors use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integration also comes as distributors and manufacturers put more emphasis on structured product data for ecommerce, search, and artificial intelligence applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI-powered search and purchasing tools can use product specifications, dimensions, applications, and other attributes to identify and compare products. Incomplete or inconsistent underlying data can limit those systems&#8217; ability to return useful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salsify is positioning the IDEA integration partly around that shift, although the immediate purpose of the connection is to automate the exchange of standardized product information between manufacturers and distributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integration is intended to help manufacturers keep their information aligned with IDEA standards while reducing the manual work involved in delivering it to distributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For electrical distributors, the integration does not replace IDEA Connector or establish a new product data standard. Instead, it changes how manufacturers using Salsify can submit information to the existing IDEA system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The potential benefit will depend in part on how broadly manufacturers adopt the connection and whether it results in more complete and timely product information. Salsify and IDEA did not disclose how many manufacturers are participating in the early access program or provide data on how much time the integration could save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/distributionstrategy.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Do not miss any content from Distribution Strategy Group.
