Mapping and rules Target channels

Your customers and systems need complete product details in a suitable structure. We help organise existing data, adapt it to recipient specifications and make it available. Our work complements your existing data sources and systems.

From available data to the target result

We first clarify the source, destination, format, update frequency and limits of responsibility. We then identify the right approach: a specific solution, managed service or custom integration.

Excodata does not replace an existing ERP or PIM system. The service complements existing systems where data needs transforming, validating, distributing or processing repeatedly.

Fictional example

Item V-204 · Pack of screws · Fictional target specification Z-1

One source value becomes two target fields
Existing source value
Package contents12 pieces

Example evidence: approved packaging data sheet V-204, revision 1.

Agreed rule
Map quantity and unit separately

“Pieces” is recorded as “pieces” in the agreed value list. No inference about minimum order quantity.

Example target requirement

Z-1 requires two separate fields:

Content quantity
12
Content unit
Pieces
Existing source value
Screw lengthNot provided
Agreed rule
Do not infer length from pack quantity
Example target requirement
Unresolved · clarification required

Z-1 requires a length in millimetres; an evidenced value is missing.

Z-1 is a fictional target specification only. The example illustrates field mapping, not a complete product review. Missing facts remain unresolved; neither ERP nor PIM is replaced.

FAQ

Do I need a PIM system for structured product data?

Not necessarily. Reliable sources, clear responsibilities and a defined target process are what matter. Excodata can complement existing ERP, PIM and file sources.

Can excodata complete product data through editorial work?

Only if this is explicitly agreed and can be substantiated with reliable information. Missing facts are not invented.

Can you also handle regular data deliveries?

Yes, if input data, output, frequency, exceptions and limits of responsibility can be clearly defined as a managed service.
