Digitization • The digitization of our business is already running • What are the consequences for the threefold sales model? – Manufacturer? – Distributor / wholesaler? – Installer / contractor? • What about our customers in the digitized world? • Do we loose our costumers in the digital journey? 5 ETIM international 14/03/2017

Digitization What are the fundaments for the processes in the digital business? All processes starts with product data! 6 ETIM international 14/03/2017

Trends in product data management • rapid growth of product range (100.000 in 1995, 500.000 in 2002, > 1 million in 2010, > 2 million in 2017) • further growth of information needs per article • shorter product life cycle and quicker TTM • product database quality more important 7 ETIM international 14/03/2017

Trends in product data management We are not longer able to manage the product data with manual, not standardized processes! What are the right standards in product data management? 8 ETIM international 14/03/2017

ETIM: open model for all companies • uniform and standardized transport of product data in the supply chain • together with the related standards – Identification: GTIN (GS1) – Classification: ETIM – Interface: XML (BMEcat) – Network: Internet 14 ETIM international 14/03/2017

ETIM • Fixed model for classifying technical products − without hierarchy − with features, values, units – parametric! • Listing of the most important technical characteristics of each product class to describe and find the articles standardized. − multi – lingual − media neutral − supplier neutral 15 ETIM international 14/03/2017

ETIM – example of a product sheet Basic data, picture, long descriptions etc. ETIM features: - alphanumeric - numeric - logic (Y/N) German version - range French version 16

ETIM version 6 • ETIM consists of classes, features, values and units in 4 sectors in 16 languages – Classes: 4.395 • Features, values and units are not sector dependent: – Features: 12.426 – Values: 11.311 – Units: 146 – Class/feature relations 49.364 – Class/feature/value relations 139.764 • Synonyms are language dependent 17 ETIM international 14/03/2017

Advantages • Uniform transport of product data in the supply chain – One interface to all customers / from all suppliers – Independent of the transport (direct, channel data bases, country data pools, …..) • Language independent – Automatic translation via the ETIM-ID code • Media neutral – Easy use in all sales channels, media • ERP • Printed catalogues • eBusiness systems • eProcurement systems 18 ETIM international 14/03/2017

Advantages • Reliable product data in all sales channels – Very important aspect especially for eBusiness – Business data – Logistic data – Classification data (ETIM - technical features) – Pictures, videos, etc. – ROHS, Reach, Eco-design, …. – Reporting (e.g. VEG reporting in Germany) 19 ETIM international 14/03/2017

Status 2017 : • ETIM started beginning of the 90th in the Netherlands – Description of the business processes of installers • Installer side plus wholesaler site • Electro technical sector • HVAC sector – ETIM Germany 1996 / 1999 – ETIM international 2008 20 ETIM international 14/03/2017
