PRODUCT DATA ONBOARDING, VALIDATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION
SPICE Catalog™ gives suppliers one governed way to submit product information, and gives your team a clear process to validate, correct, approve and synchronize it with your ERP, PIM and commerce systems. No more chasing spreadsheets for missing attributes.
SPICE™ CATALOG
THE CHALLENGE
Product data arrives from hundreds of suppliers in different formats, with the details your business needs scattered or missing. Your team closes the gap by hand, and every gap it misses becomes an order, receiving or e-commerce problem later.
01
EDI, spreadsheets, data pools, portals or nothing digital at all. Pulling it together is slow and full of gaps.
02
The buyer-specific details your business runs on get chased over email, if they turn up at all.
03
Every attribute has to land in the right field, hierarchy and category. Doing that by hand doesn’t scale across thousands of SKUs.
04
Third-party data pools carry standard attributes, but rarely your internal classifications or the suppliers who don’t participate.
WHAT SPICE CATALOG™ DOES
Product data onboarding is the process of collecting item information from suppliers, checking it against your requirements and loading it into your systems. SPICE Catalog™ runs that process end to end, acting as the supplier-facing layer that works alongside your ERP, PIM or MDM, collecting, validating and synchronizing the product data your business needs to transact.
Suppliers submit through the channel that fits them, see exactly what’s missing or wrong, fix it and track approval, without filling out a different spreadsheet for every customer.
Your team defines the attributes, rules and category structures once. SPICE Catalog™ validates every submission, highlights exceptions, routes approvals and publishes the complete record downstream.
Supplier attributes are validated and mapped to your ERP hierarchy before the data reaches your systems.
CORE FEATURES
Every SPICE Catalog™ feature works toward one outcome: complete, correct product records, without the manual setup.
| SPICE CATALOG™ FEATURE | WHAT IT DOES & HOW IT HELPS |
|---|---|
| Multi-Channel Submission | Suppliers submit through EDI 832, APIs, data pools, CSV or XML files, spreadsheets or a web form, so global brands and smaller suppliers join the same process. |
| Configurable Attributes & Rules | Define the attributes, validation rules and approval steps your business needs, including buyer-specific and internal data. |
| Validation & Exception Handling | Missing, invalid or inconsistent attributes are flagged before a record is published, so problems stay out of your ERP. |
| Review & Approval Workflow | Buyers and suppliers review exceptions, correct errors and track each submission to approval. |
| ERP Hierarchy Mapping | Cross-reference supplier products, GTINs and classifications to your internal departments, classes, styles, sizes and seasons. |
| Data Pool Reuse | Use standard data already in third-party data pools, then collect the missing information directly from suppliers. |
| Downstream Synchronization | Publish approved records to your ERP, PIM, e-commerce platform and SPICE Trade™, and keep updates in sync through the same process. |
| Shared Status Visibility | Your team and your suppliers see outstanding information, exceptions and approval status in one place. |
HOW SPICE CATALOG™ WORKS
SPICE™ configures your attributes, rules, categories and integrations first. Then suppliers are onboarded through the submission method that suits them, and every record follows the same governed path.
01
Suppliers send product data through their preferred channel. Standard data from data pools is pulled in where available.
02
Each submission is checked against your rules. Suppliers see what’s missing or wrong and fix it before approval.
03
Your team reviews exceptions and approves complete records through a controlled workflow.
04
Approved records publish to your ERP, PIM, commerce systems and SPICE Trade™, and stay current as suppliers update them.

HOW IT CONNECTS
SPICE Catalog™ connects supplier product data to the systems you run and to the rest of your supply chain.
Publishes to ERP (Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite and others), PIM, MDM and e-commerce platforms. It complements the systems you have. It doesn’t replace them.
Accepts EDI 832, APIs, data pools, files, spreadsheets and web forms, so every supplier can take part, whatever their technical capability.
SPICE Web OMS™, SPICE Trade™ and SPICE Digital Document Service™ check item data against SPICE Catalog™ in real time, so orders carry the right product information. Approved records can feed the SPICE Trade™ customer catalog.
