Network Services Company (NETWORK?), the leading global integrated distribution solution for janitorial and sanitation supplies, foodservice packaging and disposables, industrial packaging, and commercial printing papers, has awarded a contract to 1SYNC and SpecPage to ensure the accuracy of product data it shares with distributors. The companies announced the agreement today.

NETWORK serves the commercial real estate, healthcare, foodservice, industrial, printing, and public sector industries. 1SYNC operates the largest data pool in the global data synchronization network (GDSN), and SpecPage is the most comprehensive resource for product marketing information in the foodservice and janitorial/sanitation (jan/san) industries.

With 1SYNCs top quality, complete and accurate product data, and SpecPages streamlined, fully automated information delivery, we continue to advance our mission of driving cost savings and supply chain excellence for our members and for their customers, said Paul Roche, CIO of NETWORK.

NETWORKs suppliers publish data about their products to the GDSN and keep the uploaded data synchronized with their own databases to populate NETWORKs and its members catalogs and back-office systems with current and accurate data. 1SYNC and SpecPage will ensure that the suppliers critical data is automatically cleansed and rejected, if erroneous before reaching NETWORK and its members. This automation and synchronization drives in cost savings and improved transportation capacity utilization, and drives out errors and out-of-stocks from catalogs, purchase orders and invoices.

SpecPage, a certified 1SYNC Solution Provider, will retrieve 1SYNC data for NETWORK, and incorporate that product data into product catalogs and back office systems of both NETWORK and its members.

Through SpecPages front-end access to 1SYNCs world class data, NETWORK fully automates and upgrades the flow of product data into its e-commerce catalogs and systems, while also providing its nearly 80 members with superior product data for their own catalogs and back office systems, said Paul Meunier, CEO of SpecPage.

NETWORKs selection of 1SYNC and SpecPage to drive information excellence on behalf of its members is truly groundbreaking for both NETWORK and foodservice in size and scope, said Dan Wilkinson, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Commercial Operations of 1SYNC. Together, we look forward to an extraordinary partnership providing NETWORK and its 1.3 million customer locations with superior product information throughout their supply chains.

It is no secret that the world of online commerce can be cutthroat, but a recent New York Times report revealed just how ruthless some companies can be. According to the report, many businesses have been paying for falsified product reviews, boosting their standings even on trusted sites such as Amazon.com. In fact, the Times report suggests that some companies have been caught offering refunds to customers in exchange for glowing reviews. Federal regulators are beginning to crack down on this practice, leaving businesses to come up with new ways to promote their products. A company called Logix9 is offering small businesses a chance to do exactly that. In response to the New York Times piece, Logix9 has issued a statement decrying these dishonest promotional methods, but pledging to help small businesses market themselves in more effective and efficient ways.

Logix9, an educational company devoted to helping small business owners learn the fundamentals of online marketing, says in statement that the methods cited in the Times report are not just dishonest, but ineffective. We view other companies practices of paying for good reviews as highly unethical, says a company spokesperson. In the end, this not only hurts honest companies offering reputable products but is also a huge disservice to the general public.

Rather than pay for reviews, business owners can promote their businesses through savvy and effective online marketing campaigns, the Logix9 spokesperson continues. The company provides training services in social marketing, business blogging, pay-per-click marketing, and more.

Additionally, Logix9 provides business owners with training in the basics of Web design and HTML, but the focus is always on marketing and promotion. The company is aimed squarely at the owners of small and medium-sized businesses, including home-based businesses. The objective, says the Logix9 spokesperson, is to empower business owners to propel their sales and maximize their exposure, honestly and effectively.

Implementing these non-falsified marketing strategies will likely prove beneficial to companies in more ways than one, as the Times reports that not only is regulation cracking down, but new technology is making it easier to spot fake reviews on sites like Amazon.

ABOUT:

Logix9 is an online training company that offers instructional services geared toward small business owners. The company provides informational videos that allow users to learn on their own time, according to their own schedule. The curriculum encompasses the basics of web design, e-commerce software, and online marketing. All of the skills learned at Logix9 are geared toward profit generation.
