Manage and exchange product data according to Ketenstandaard

Do you work with ETIM and DICO standards from Ketenstandaard? Etimix helps manufacturers and suppliers manage, classify and enrich their product information centrally and prepare it for structured data exchange.

From ETIM classification to structured product data exchange. One central environment for reliable product data.

Product data according to Ketenstandaard without unnecessary manual work

Ketenstandaard plays an important role in standardising digital information exchange within the Dutch construction and installation industry. For manufacturers and suppliers, this means product information needs to be complete, correctly structured and classified according to the relevant standards.

Etimix helps you manage this data flow.

With Etimix, you can:

  • Manage product information centrally

  • Classify products according to ETIM

  • Manage technical product features in a structured way

  • Identify missing or incorrect data

  • Enrich and validate product information

  • Prepare product data for structured exchange

  • Reuse the same product data for customers, data pools and other channels

From source data to structured product data

Product information often originates from different systems, files and departments. This makes it difficult to create one complete and reliable dataset that meets industry standards.

Etimix brings this information together:

1. Import
Bring product data from existing sources into Etimix.

2. Classify
Classify technical products according to the relevant ETIM structure.

3. Enrich
Add missing features, values, documents and other product information.

4. Validate
Check the quality, structure and completeness of your product data.

5. Exchange
Prepare structured product information for exchange with customers, data pools and other systems.

From ETIM and DICO to one reliable source of product data

Standards such as ETIM and DICO make it possible to exchange product and article information consistently throughout the construction and installation supply chain. But meeting a standard starts with having reliable, structured and complete source data.

Etimix brings product information from different sources together, helps classify technical products according to ETIM and provides one central environment to manage and enrich all relevant product features. This creates a reliable product dataset that can be prepared for structured exchange according to industry requirements.

The same centrally managed product data can also be used for wholesalers, webshops, ERP systems, data pools, international markets and other sales channels. Instead of maintaining separate product information for every destination, Etimix gives you one central source from which you control the quality, consistency and accuracy of your product data.

  • Work with ETIM-classified product data

  • Need to exchange structured product information

  • Manage large technical product ranges

  • Currently manage product information across multiple files or systems

  • Want to improve product data quality and completeness

  • Need to distribute the same data to multiple customers, data pools or channels

  • Want to automate and scale product data management
