Product data standards never stand still. Neither should your product data.
Publishing compliant product data is not a one-time project. GS1, ETIM and retailer requirements are continuously evolving, introducing new mandatory attributes, updated business rules and changing data models. Without ongoing maintenance, previously compliant product data can quickly become outdated.
Qmica combines continuous Product Data Monitoring with proactive Standard Maintenance, helping organisations maintain high-quality product information over time. We continuously maintain GS1, ETIM and retailer-specific data models, so your team doesn't have to monitor every standards update manually.
Whenever requirements change, Qmica immediately identifies which products are affected, highlights the required actions and helps your team restore compliance quickly and efficiently.
Instead of constantly chasing changing standards, you can focus on growing your business while Qmica keeps your product data aligned with the latest requirements.

By combining Product Data Monitoring with proactive GS1 Data Maintenance, Qmica enables organisations to stay compliant with minimal effort. Teams always know what has changed, which products are affected and what actions are required—without having to interpret complex technical documentation themselves.
