Cover_Product-Data-Journey-Map-and-Report_Jan-2023-r2

Product data is critical to the industry, but millions of dollars are lost annually due to missing, inconsistent, or inaccurate information passed downstream in the channel. To better understand why these issues persist, the NAED Education & Research Foundation commissioned the study, NAED’s Journey Map of Product Data. Based on the insights and experiences of NAED members, the findings document current practices, identify key friction points, and provide ideas to optimize product data for the industry. The report includes:

  • An industry-exclusive Product Data Journey Map—a one-page illustration of product data creation, deployment, and use across the channel
  • Nine friction points and how poor product data quality impacts productivity and sales
  • Best practices to optimize product data creation and modifications
  • Next steps manufacturers and distributors can consider to improve the processes around product data to enhance communications, product data standards, and boost the bottom line.

Producing a strategic vision and direction for your company is never easy. To create this vision, your team needs a clear view of where you are today and where the industry is headed.

Using your own data is good, but it only tells you how the market is interacting with your company. To complete the picture, you need market intelligence about the entire market, and Customer & Product Profiles from NAED is the answer.

NAED's Customer & Product Profiles is the only solution in the electrical industry that provides a way for electrical distributors to submit their monthly point-of-sale data in an easy, secure, and anonymous way, and then view their results alongside aggregate data of the market.
