Commport Datapool for Suppliers
Global Data Synchronization Services for Suppliers
Suppliers know the products they are selling better than anyone else. Not only are they the source of product in the supply chain, but they are also the source of the information about those products. The key for suppliers is to have high quality product master data and to communicate it efficiently and effectively with all customers using Global Data Synchronization.
Commport Datapool offers unique features to enable suppliers and supply side organizations to easily onboard, manage and synchronize their item data with their demand side customers.
Easy and flexible GDSN datapool onboarding
Commport offers a number of tools and solutions whereby suppliers can upload their item data into the GDSN datapool, including:
- Bulk upload templates
- XML
- Customized Spread Sheets
- Flat Files
- Manually keying data into the online Item Entry Wizard.
These flexible options allow suppliers to choose the onboarding service that best meets their immediate needs while allowing them options to grow into the future. While some suppliers start off using the Item Entry Wizard, they may wish or need to change this as their data synchronization initiatives mature. Commport Datapool offers the flexibility for suppliers to integrate their internal Product Information Management tasks with their GDSN datapool activities.

Commport Datapool for Buyers
Global Data Synchronization Services for Buyers
Retailers are an important link in the supply chain, connecting suppliers with end consumers. Providing a reliable supply of products to retail customers means maintaining an equally reliable flow of product data in their relationship with their suppliers. Global Data Synchronization (GDS) is a key strategy in this process.
Traditionally, retailers have relied on paper-based processes for receiving information on product updates and new product releases. From paper documents, this critical information needs to be manually processed before it can be shared with the retailer’s operations side. A Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) data pool or data feed automates the flow of product data between retailers and their suppliers, creating more efficiency for greater cost effectiveness.
Tactically, retailers participate in Global Data Synchronization by subscribing to their suppliers’ data through Certified datapools. This subscription allows them to receive automated updates on supplier and product information for up-to-the-minute visibility.
Commport Datapool Solution for retailers
Commport Datapool offers unique features to enable retailers to manage their data synchronization initiative. As a GDSN-certified datapool, Commport offers full GDSN access along with our comprehensive Message Center. This detailed view enables retailers to quickly and easily manage and track their data synchronization initiative with their supplier community, providing real time visibility into the communications process.
The Commport Datapool provides comprehensive and flexible integration options allowing retailers to define the global data sync model that works best for them. Commport’s experienced team works with individual retailers to identify their specific integration, data management and supplier community-enablement model. Our support encompasses consulting and project management to help retailers become part of the GDSN.

Customer Testimonial
“I am writing to thank everyone at Commport Communications International Inc. for their outstanding service and support. We approached them when on the verge of losing an important customer because other Certified Data Pool companies could not meet our needs on time. They were sensitive to the urgency of our situation and our level of experience. They gave us the assistance required to achieve our goal and handled the technical details. Thanks to their expertise everything we needed was taken care of within 24 hours (we had been told the job would take two weeks).”
