Product repository
As a brand you are keen to provide your network with services that will boost operational efficiency. Automating processes is a growth driver for two reasons: saving time for in-store teams, and offering your customers distinctive services. This requires a common range.
Automate processes with a product repository
The product repository centralises all the information relating to your network’s product range.
It is fed by your buyers at each stage of the product life cycle. It provides qualified, unified, standardised information. Your challenge is to offer your network a supply chain with no breaks in the digital chain.
Going beyond the concept of operational efficiency alone, you have all the tools you need to generate a positive product experience.
- Automate data entry tasks
- Consolidate consistent, complete, qualified data
- Set up automatic restocking
- Compare activity in different departments, stores, regions, etc.
- Improve supplier relations
- Bring consistency to your brand image.
The benefits of the integrated model for franchise networks
A common product repository is a cornerstone for the development and growth of a network. It is needed in order to build a coherent range within your network, in keeping with the brand’s positioning. Ginkoia’s repository is based on the principles of integrated retail while offering the benefit of organised retail: a flexible in-store range.
It is an essential management tool, as it consolidates consistent data allowing you to perform detailed analytics and make well-informed decisions.
A product repository is also something you must have in order to consolidate your sales processes and handle all your customer journeys (click & collect, ship from store, store to web, etc.).
Get products on the shelves more quickly
The product repository automates the creation and updating of product records, enabling you to get your stock on the shelves more quickly.
Profitable product ranges
Consistent data provide the basis for performing accurate performance analytics, to build profitable product ranges.
Reduce errors
This is the primary objective of a centralised product repository. Avoid duplicates and data entry errors, which could end up on one of your sales channels.
Consistent data
A standardised inventory list, automated processes and a common base containing complete, reliable product records.
Rise to the challenges of omnichannel retail
To meet your customers’ increasing demands and offer them a positive buying experience, the key is to personalise your relationship with them. A well-built repository enables you to share up-to-date product information across your network, and go the extra mile to meet your customers’ expectations.
The product repository is the foundation for any strategy aiming to consolidate a network by pursuing shared ambitions. It is a means of rolling out a common pricing and promotions policy to build a bond between your customers and your brand. Product data enrichment is a key success factor. High-quality, complete information contributes to a positive customer experience and promotes loyalty.
The product repository also offers a framework for structuring your product knowledge in a consistent manner and drawing on it to implement an omnichannel retail strategy.
At the heart of the supply chain
The product repository centralises all the product knowledge across your distribution network, helping you boost your profitability by generating a positive product experience and improving your teams’ productivity.
Open yet structured in order to provide standardised, qualified information, it is a key component of your distribution network’s IT ecosystem and enhances the quality of your digitised supply chain.
It simplifies the work of the various specialists within the brand and network, such as buyers, IT experts, analysts, logisticians, and marketing teams.
