This product description outlines the functionality and usage requirements of the 1WorldSync Approval software. It details the core features and supported capabilities of the solution, enabling retailers to receive, review, and provide feedback on product data from the GDSN network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1WorldSync Approval is a GS1 standards-based solution that provides retailers with a centralized tool to review, validate, and provide feedback on published product data. It operates as a centralized source for up-to-date, quality-checked, and standard-compliant product information, supplied through the GDSN network, for example, via the 1WorldSync Publishing solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With 1WorldSync Approval, retailers can directly access standardized and validated product data, supporting seamless integration into various business processes, such as supply chain management and e-commerce. The solution ensures that all retrieved product information complies with GDSN requirements and is always up to date. By increasing data availability and improved consistency, retailers can work more efficiently while also optimizing communication with suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Data access and validation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1WorldSync Approval provides comprehensive access to published product data sourced directly from the GDSN data pool of suppliers. The data is available in read-only mode and includes detailed product information, hierarchies and digital assets. Retailers can thoroughly check the data provided and use it as a basis for operational decisions and analyses. The filter and search functions within the application allow retailers to quickly identify and access the data that is important to them. The data received includes both product data and any updated information provided by suppliers. A continuous flow of data ensures that the database is always up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A core feature of the solution is the automatic validation of data to ensure compliance with GDSN standards and consistency. All retrieved data undergoes validation mechanisms before being made available, and any quality issues are documented in error logs, referred to as CIC messages. This allows retailers to continuously monitor data quality and provide targeted feedback to manufacturers to address specific issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Data export and integration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1WorldSync Approval enables flexible export of product data in common used formats such as Excel, PDF or XML. This allows retailers to integrate the data seamlessly into their internal systems, supporting existing business processes and ensuring that relevant product information is always readily available when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Communication with manufacturers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1WorldSync Approval facilitates direct and transparent communication with manufacturers. Retailers can provide feedback on received product data, accept data, request adjustments or corrections, or reject data if it fails to meet quality requirements. All feedback is recorded via standardized CIC messages, ensuring clear and efficient communication. This improves the data flow between retailers and manufacturers, supporting retailers in maintaining and enhancing data quality to meet their standards for data integrity and accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 1WorldSync Data Sync Engine solution operates twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, excluding downtime for outages due to issues beyond our control, downtime due to scheduled maintenance, or any other force majeure event (\u201cExcused Downtime\u201d) and unexcused Downtime. Any downtime that is not included as Excused Downtime is counted as \u201cUnexcused Downtime\u201d. \u201cAvailability\u201d means the difference between the total number of minutes in a calendar month, minus Excused Downtime and Unexcused Downtime. The result divided by the difference between the total number of minutes in a calendar month minusExcused Downtime, as determined by 1WorldSync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1WorldSync endeavors to provide system Availability of 99.0% each calendar month.\\<\/p>\n\n\n\n For support inquiries, Clients can use the 1WorldSync customer support portal to submit requests and track their status.
