“The platform is very easy to use and allows me to carry out my entire enrichment process, from the creation of products to the validation of information transmitted by suppliers, including updates. This has allowed us to save up to 15 days on the referencing and publication process. For the buyers, I see an undeniable saving of time, since they can generate their range on the fly to prepare their supplier or store meetings. Before Product-Live, this work was done manually and the product information, especially pricing information, was never up to date.”
