Validoo Supplier

About Validoo Supplier

Validoo Supplier helps suppliers validate, store and share trade item information and product images. You can use the service to manage your product range digitally, and to share information with other markets.

Automated validation of trade item information and product images

Product and logistics information that you publish will be auto-validated before being shared with your recipients. This way you can be sure that the data is relevant and follow’s the GS1 standard. Validoo functions as a data pool within the global GDSN® network, which gives all markets real-time access to the same data.

Product data and image bank for your digital product range

Validoo acts as your media bank, where you can easily upload and share your product images. If you need to share product marketing and planogram images, Validoo will help you quality-assure them and link them to their trade item information before they are visible in your customers’ sales channels.

Quality assurance of trade item information and product images

Information recipients often need to rely on a third party to verify that images and data comply with industry standards. This means that trade item information and product images must be quality-assured. Our specialists will help you do just that, by manually quality-assuring your products according to industry rules.

How it works

Higher product quality

Within Swedish retail and consumer goods, the quality of your product is directly linked to the quality of its data. This is where Validoo comes in.

Validoo has a web-based interface that will help you ensure that the trade item information and images you share with your customers follow global and Swedish guidelines.

Validated information

Validoo stores the latest version of your trade item information and, once it is successfully validated, shares it with retailers, grossists, online retailers and other recipients who have set up subscriptions to your data.

The system will also help you check that trade item information follows specific validation rules, if your recipient has chosen to activate any.

Quality assurance

Product images

The consumer goods industry in Sweden has chosen to follow the GS1 standard for product images, which has clear guidelines for image quality, angles, and metadata.

Before marketing and planogram images are made available to your customers, they undergo a manual quality-assurance process that helps ensure that they meet quality standards. The images will then be able to be used for online shopping, shelf-planning and marketing.

Trade item information

Quality assurance of trade item information means that a specialist manually compares your digital trade item information with a physical product sample, a prototype or print original.

These checks assist data recipients who rely on a third party to ensure that product data is correct. Quality-assured trade item information is used for product range revisions, logistics planning, and in consumer sales channels.
