Qmica
Normalize, validate and publish product data effortlessly according to GS1 and ETIM standards
Is your organization operating in an industry where data standards such as ETIM and GS1 are leading? Then you know how strict the requirements for product information can be. When exchanging product data via data pools, every attribute and specification matters. Qmica supports you in this process. As the essential link between your PIM system and GS1, it automates mappings, translations and validations, enabling you to meet data requirements faster and with fewer errors.
Qmica: The GS1 Connector
Qmica’s GS1 Connector connects your PIM system directly to GS1 and ETIM standards. No more manual translations in Excel. No more disconnected checks afterwards. Standardization becomes a structured and integrated part of your data process.
The connector ensures that product data:
- Is automatically mapped to GS1 and ETIM attributes
- Is converted into standardized values
- Is validated against classifications, code lists and metric units
- Is continuously checked for completeness and data quality
- Is directly publishable to GS1 GDSN and ETIM structures
Standardization becomes a controlled and automated process. A fixed step within your PIM workflow.
A PIM system helps you centrally manage product data. Data pools enhance this process by storing and exchanging product information - such as dimensions, weight and technical specifications - according to fixed formats and standards. This ensures structured and efficient data exchange between suppliers, distributors and retailers. A well-known data pool is GS1, while widely used standards include ETIM and the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN).
Always up to date with GS1 and ETIM
GS1 data models and ETIM classifications are updated regularly. Keeping track of these changes yourself requires time and specialized knowledge.
The GS1 Connector manages this centrally. Qmica immediately processes updates in data models and classifications, providing instant visibility into deviations and the impact on your data. This ensures you remain compliant with the latest requirements, without adding management pressure to your team.
Insight through the Qmica dashboard
A major advantage compared to a standard GS1–PIM integration is the Qmica dashboard. It provides real-time insight into the publishability of your product data.
You immediately see:
- Which attributes are missing or need adjustment
- Where data deviates from GS1 or ETIM requirements
- Which classifications are incomplete
Who is Qmica for?
Qmica is ideal for suppliers, wholesalers and brand manufacturers who:
- Share product data via GS1 or GDSN
- Work with ETIM classifications
- Face strict validation requirements
- Want to replace manual checks with automated validation
- Aim to structurally safeguard data quality within their PIM process
