“Anyone who has attempted to solve the challenge of building rich content knows the time, effort, and expertise involved,” said Tony Dubreville, President and CEO, Trade Service. “We believe that this milestone demonstrates our ability to execute and provide our customers with real solutions to their business needs.”

Rich content is used by distributors to power web storefront catalogs and enhance enterprise software systems. Leveraging Trade Service content, distributors have access to the images, rich descriptive information, and catalog page attachments designed to make these initiatives successful.

“We have been developing rich catalog content for distributors since 1998,” said Robert Stone, Director of Business Development, Trade Service, “Achieving this milestone is a testament to our commitment to making this much-needed content available to distributors in an affordable, subscription-based service. Not only have we created a valuable asset for our customers to take advantage of, but our standard maintenance processes ensure that this content is kept up to date with the latest information available from manufacturers.”
