BMEcat 1.2: Standardizing product data exchange
The power of the BMEcat 1.2 standard
BMEcat is widely used across Europe in industries, such as manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and construction. Specifically, Germany is one of the largest adopters due to its robust manufacturing and industrial sectors.
- Catalog and data handling
BMEcat 1.2 can handle millions of product entries in a single catalog, making it suitable for large enterprises with extensive product portfolios. A typical BMECat file can range from several megabytes to gigabytes, depending on the catalog's size and the richness of the product information (e.g., multimedia attachments). - Efficiency and accuracy
Automating catalog updates with BMEcat can cut catalog management time by up to 40%, depending on the complexity of the catalog. Businesses using BMEcat report a 30-50% reduction in errors related to manual data entry.
