Make more efficient transactions with your trading partners.

IDEA's Industry Retail Database (IRD) is a single solution that consolidates all the eCommerce tools and services retail trading partners need to comply with industry standards (GS1–GDSN), meet retail mandates, exchange transactional data, and streamline processes to do business more efficiently.

Powered by CERICOMX®, IDEA's powerful eCatalogue and interface software, IRD publishes data to the 1SYNC™ GDSN-certified Data Pool, forging a standardized and centralized connection between suppliers and retailers in the hardware and consumer packaged goods industries worldwide.

Key benefits

• Comply with retail mandates and industry standards
• Access all the eCommerce tools you need from one source
• Save 40% to 60% over other supply chain solutions

IRD creates a bridge between suppliers and retailers by delivering an environment in which suppliers can load their data into the 1SYNC™ Data Pool using our templates or virtually any existing data format. The data is then automatically registered in the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) and made available to authorized retailers in the supplier's network via any data pool they choose.
