FullTilt's Perfect Product Suite Supports RFID Projects by Providing Critical Data Synchronization Services
System Also Acts As Vital Back-End EPC Code and Product Information Repository
WAYNE, PA - FullTilt Solutions, Inc., today announced the availability of Perfect Product SuiteT 5.0, its product information management (PIM) and data synchronization solution, for consumer goods manufacturers, retailers and other companies involved in radio frequency identification (RFID) implementations.
Perfect Product Suite provides the internal and external data synchronization services necessary to eliminate conflicting item definitions, outdated item information, and other product information errors that can limit the return on an organization's RFID investment. It also functions as the critical back-end reference database required to maintain detailed specifications about the product an EPC RFID code represents such as color, dimensions and other attributes needed to translate RFID product movement data into actionable supply chain information.
Recently ranked by Forrester Research as the market's top PIM solution, Perfect Product Suite has been deployed in multiple industries since 2001 to streamline data and catalog maintenance, improve order and invoice accuracy, and promote the smooth flow of electronic commerce. It offers proven technology, broad functionality, and demonstrated scalability for use with RFID initiatives.
Core RFID Building Block. "Deploying RFID without first synchronizing, standardizing and storing your product data in a central repository that is continually updated for accuracy is like building a house without architectural plans. That's why analysts have named product information management and data synchronization as essential prerequisites for RFID projects," noted Bob Moyer, President of FullTilt Solutions.
"RFID systems can tell you where the product is and when it got there, but they don't tell you what the product is or what attributes it has because RFID tags don't have room to store that data. To make RFID information useful for purposes like inventory management and market basket analysis, you need to know that product 12345 is a blouse, the style, the material, the color and so on," Moyer added. "Our Perfect Product Suite provides both the synchronization capabilities and the product information database that are necessary to reap the full benefits of RFID."
Mature PIM Functionality. Perfect Product Suite automates the internal and external data synchronization processes necessary to eliminate duplicates, discrepancies and outdated product information contained in multiple enterprise databases and applications.
The software aggregates product information from ERP and other systems, adjusts disparate definitions to conform to a uniform standard, dynamically updates and synchronizes information as it changes and provides automated workflow. It maintains all product information and links in a central repository to ensure a single source of "product truth," and outputs data in any format required to synchronize with internal enterprise systems as well as users or external trading partners.
Perfect Product Suite supports both manufacturer and retail data synchronization with UCCnet, ECCnet, Transora, WWRE, GHX, IDEA and others and in unlimited user-defined custom formats. In addition to supporting RFID implementations, it lays the foundation for companies to comply with data standardization requirements mandated by major retailers and to successfully implement other collaborative initiatives such as collaborative planning forecasting and replenishment, GTIN compliance, data synchronization, scan-based trading and vendor-managed inventory.
