Why It Matters

Product data is the foundation for ecommerce, sales enablement, and supply chain efficiency. When incomplete or inconsistent, teams spend time chasing updates, correcting errors, and managing one-off requests.

PDX creates a consistent, permission-based exchange for faster updates and better visibility across trading partners.

Manufacturers
  • Standardized Excel template
  • Image upload (template, SFTP, DAM)
  • Product data updates
HIDA PDX
  • SSO Authentication
  • Data ownership & isolation
  • Set distributor permissions
Distributors
  • Verified product content
  • Weekly full push + nightly deltas
  • Secure SFTP access (CSV & JSON formats)

How It Works

Manufacturers upload product data and digital assets once, then control which distributors can access their information.
Distributors receive cleaner, more consistent content through secure delivery options designed to support their existing workflows.

Centralized product data and image assets
Distributor-specific permissions managed by manufacturers
Weekly full file pushes plus nightly updates
