GUIDE
After the eCommerce boom of 2020, retail as we knew it transformed. While it was already heading into a highly digital presence, the drastic growth of eCommerce activity accelerated that change. What has this led to? A bigger need for compelling product content, streamlined processes, transparency and more.
However, those top challenges retailers have faced for years remain largely the same. At the end of the day, retailers want to drive revenue and brand loyalty by staying ahead of the competition and meeting consumers where they are (with the items they want). More than ever, these companies need a single solution that addresses their challenges and enables them to achieve these goals.
Syndigo, the first Active Content Engine, is that solution. It ingests, validates, manages, enriches, and optimizes both supplier and private label content—with the objective of meeting retailers’ unique requirements and maintaining consistency across all their channels.
At Syndigo, we understand the highest priorities that retail leaders have in their organization. Our decades of experience working with 1,750+ global retailers, including many Fortune 500 enterprises, has given us deep insight into the most pressing challenges retailers face.
We are continuously enhancing our solutions to ensure these companies are equipped to deal with those challenges—and overcome them with confidence. Whether it’s supply chain efficiencies, vendor management, driving incremental revenue or growing private label sales, we know these top-level challenges are always on the brain. Add in the fact that these challenges are now occurring in the face of accelerating eCommerce, and it’s crystal clear why retailers have their hands full. The culmination of all this leads to some key priorities across retail businesses.
It all begins with vendor data. Syndigo’s robust network means we already have a lot of the data needed for supplier onboarding, which helps streamline the process of sourcing new vendors and new items, as well as ensuring any of the retailer’s changing requirements get into those vendors’ hands early. Essentially, Syndigo acts as the retailer’s advocate with brands—not only supporting alignment between both sides, but being willing to broker a conversation for any that they’re hoping to make a connection with.
Improving speed of order fulfillment – Foundational to Syndigo’s content creation capabilities are item weights and dimensions that are obtained via Cubiscan and verified by Syndigo teams. These measures are kept up to date with packaging changes.
Improving speed to market for new products – Syndigo created and carefully QA’d a marketplace of product content—over 1M items are constantly maintained for freshness.
Last but certainly not least, selling data is crucial. Manual/spreadsheet work gets reduced by using the Active Content Engine to input and enhance product data. With Syndigo’s solution managing this data category, retailers can ensure complete and accurate content on their website and in-store, improve shelf merchandising, incorporate wellness claims for food/health-based products and enable all their internal teams to be aligned on changes.
Creating a captivating experience for consumers – Accurate off-package content, wellness claims, derived claims, custom-derived attributes, consistent package shots, optimized images, mobile hero images, Enhanced Content with several widgets and much more are readily available to use in the Active Content Engine.
Selling products that meet consumer expectations – We offer retailers Syndigo-created content (accurate and consistent across products), 250+ off-package attributes, images and videos that provide extensive data, ensuring the consumer is knowledgeable and satisfied with their purchase. Moreover, other data including shelf life, storage temperatures and hazardous material information can help prevent returns.
We’ve put it all together to solve retailers’ top challenges – internal data governance, effective content delivery, plus performance feedback and optimization, all in one solution. The Active Content Engine scales to the most complex, customizable systems, for any stage across content maturity and the end-to-end commerce process.
