Dot Foods, the food industry’s largest supply chain consolidator, has launched Dot Data Services, a new all-in-one product content solution to help suppliers, distributors, and operators meet industry standards and customer expectations in the digital marketplace. 

“You can’t taste or touch what you see online,” explained Dot Foods Product Manager Kevin Baum. “So how do operators, chefs, and consumers know what to order online? That’s where quality product content comes in.” 

But for the food industry, product images, nutritional information, specifications, and other critical data aren’t easy to author or access. Dot Data Services addresses this challenge by bringing together product information management (PIM) tools, Dot Foods master data practices, GDSN connectivity, and AI to acquire and enrich product content for ecommerce. 

Our solution helps suppliers author and enhance data to comply with GDSN standards and serve their customers. Dot Data Services also provides distributors and operators access to product content and tools to maintain it. With API syndication, this content can be used across ecommerce environments, even for brands and products unavailable through Dot.

"It isn’t easy for distributors to access and manage product content to effectively sell products online," said Dot Foods Executive Vice President Cullen Andrews. “Dot Foods is a leader in food industry product data. We manage more than 120,000 products on our website, and that experience and expertise is built into Dot Data Services.” 

Our new solution is part of Dot’s ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our business partners and our evolving industry. To learn more about Dot Data Services, visit our website.
