Gladson Enhances Product Content Offering to Power Enterprise Category Management Platforms

LISLE, Ill.

Gladson, the leading provider of digital product content and related services for the consumer packaged goods industry, today announced that enhancements were made to its Space Management offering to provide customers a comprehensive content solution for category management processes and platforms.

Gladson customers now have more options to ensure that the content they receive can quickly and seamlessly integrate with diverse category management technologies, including platforms for assortment planning, virtual research and merchandising, space planning and more. Customers can determine various specifications for the content, ranging from file format and image resolution to the number of product views.

By delivering the right content for the right platforms, Gladson is helping CPG companies meet the demand for product content in increasing quantities and complexities to speed up technology deployments and keep pace with category management trends.

“The software platforms across category management are expanding and in some ways blurring, requiring a product content provider that can deliver ‘enterprise ready’ images and data,” said Gladson CEO and president Susan Sentell. “By partnering with Gladson, our customers benefit from a single, easy-to-integrate content solution that can support everything from virtual retail environments to planograms to analytical shopper research.”

Gladson Space Management content can include up to six merchandisable views of each product – available in high and low resolutions. Customers also receive up to 30 product attributes, including weights and dimensions; identifiers such as GTIN/UPC; and descriptors including item name, brand and manufacturer.

Representing over 900,000 items, Gladson’s Space Management offering gives customers distinct advantages in category coverage and product content recency.

In addition to product content to support category management processes, Gladson offers an E-Commerce content solution to power websites, e-commerce platforms and mobile applications. Gladson’s E-Commerce content includes a complete digital representation of each product, including Web-ready images and up to 230 product attributes, such as nutrition facts, ingredients, allergens and marketing claims.
