Content Syndication for Manufacturers

Controlling, monitoring and automating product content movement

For manufacturers, product content is the foundation of all communication. This not only applies to marketing texts or product descriptions in online stores, as logistics and retail partners also rely on product content. While product images and information describing products are primarily required by certain areas, other areas might require more details about packaging hierarchies and correct dimensions. In most companies, there’s also the fact that this product information lies distributed across various systems and these data quality requirements are not known for every channel or recipient.

BYRD initially integrates and aggregates the data from the various internal systems as a product content eXchange platform in order to overcome this complexity. The product information is enhanced and validated in accordance with the rules and requirements of the relevant output channels so that the right product content is available for each channel.
This product content is subsequently automatically transferred to the various output channels, so that the entire syndication process is efficient, resource-saving and lean, which applies to every key channel. BYRD also allows manufacturers to provide enhanced content to retailers’ online stores, for instance. This attracts attention and gives manufacturers full control over their brand communication. That way, BYRD enables you to become more successful in digital commerce.

Enhanced Content Management

Drive Customer Engagement in the Online Stores of your Retail Customers.

Enhanced content allows manufacturers to actively shape the product detail pages in retailers’ online stores. As a rule, enhanced content of this sort increases product sales by 12% – 36%. BYRD allows custom content to be designed for the retailers’ product detail page, thereby actively influencing product presentation on third-party pages.

Your customer opens an online view of your data using this link and can search, view details or download any data sets as an XLS, XML or JSON file.
