Schneider Electric is now offering a new tool, PIM Powered by Agena3000, capable of centralising, standardising and distributing all updated product data with complete security. For this solution, Schneider Electric is drawing on the expertise of Agena3000, a French specialist in food and beverage product information management (PIM).
Benjamin Jude, Food and Beverage Segment Solution Architect at Schneider Electric, explained: “Production information management (PIM) is a system of reference that centralises all end-product data and makes it available to stakeholders internally and externally, from e-commerce platforms to stores.” All the data handled by PIM Powered by Agena3000 will be constantly updated and comply with GS1, the global standard for encoding information produced by the food and beverage industry (product codes, ingredients, additives, consumer information, composition, allergens, etc.) adopted by all major retailers and e-tailers.
Stéphane Lopez, channel director at Agena300, commented: “The GS1 standard is a mark of trust and security for distributors We bring our expertise in data standardisation and ensure updates, especially local adaptations of GS1 from one country to another.” The company is also able to address specific requests by a distributor, such as a specific format and definition for product photos.
