In the world of e-commerce, data is everything. At DDS (Distributor Data Solutions), we believe that products should be presented and marketed as manufacturers intended—complete with their accompanying features, specifications, installation videos, product brochures, enhanced images, spec sheets and more.
So… what does DDS do?
We provide enhanced product content solutions to help:
– Manufacturers deliver the best product content to their distributors, which helps
– Distributors power their e-commerce websites, which ultimately benefits
– End-User Customers, who need better product content to make purchasing decisions
At DDS, we manage and deliver complete product content that is:

Without limitations—all product information, in all forms, that is available from distribution-friendly manufacturers
Organized for enhanced usability, and ready to work with any e-commerce platform, eProcurement system or marketplace
And how do we do it?
We use the power of today’s leading-edge technologies—and some exceptional people with very special skillsets—to deliver this content via automated delivery options (API/exports) that integrate seamlessly with each distributor’s e-commerce platform.
And how does this help you?
We help you deliver an exceptional, customer-friendly e-commerce experience with the most robust product and marketing information available.
– Manufacturers: this preserves your complete, consistent and up-to-date product and marketing messaging across multiple distributors and channels.

DDS PRODUCT OFFERINGS
To date, there has not been a robust content delivery system in the wholesale distribution industry that facilitates the exchange of multiple manufacturers’ product content to multiple distributors in a way that is tailored to each company’s processes and platforms.
DDS has developed a powerful set of solutions to not only meet these companies’ product content needs now, but well into the future.
Unlike other services in the industry, our solutions are customized for both the manufacturer and the distributor, from the way we uniquely ingest each manufacturer’s product data, to the way we deliver files to each distributor specifically designed for their individual system requirements.
Our goal is to make this process SIMPLE, so you can stay focused on your business.
