Yes. Once your product data is uploaded to DistributorCentral, it is converted by OneSource and made PromoStandards compliant automatically. No additional development work is required on your end.
What Is OneSource?
OneSource began as a vision over two decades ago at DistributorCentral. Today, it is an affordable solution for every supplier—regardless of technical expertise or company size—to create and share PromoStandards data.
With OneSource:
Suppliers publish PromoStandards-compliant product data.
Distributors and service providers can access all supplier PromoStandards endpoints from a single location.
Only one set of API credentials is needed to access multiple suppliers’ data.
Why OneSource?
OneSource’s single point of access saves time and resources without compromising the accuracy or quality of supplier product data.
Without OneSource:
Suppliers and distributors would need dedicated development teams
Continuous effort would be required to send, receive, and maintain up-to-date product data
Standardization and accuracy would be much harder to achieve
OneSource removes these barriers by handling the complexity for you.
