SEMA launches instant updates feature

LENEXA, Kan. (March 25, 2016) — SEMA Data Co-op (SDC) has introduced a feature that it said gives receivers instant data updates and makes it possible for manufacturers to get their products to market faster.

Receivers will now automatically and instantly receive updated data formatted to their individual requirements anytime a supplier publishes new information, SDC said, adding there are more than 1,200 manufacturers included in the repository.

“This is a great feature that really fills the gap in speed to market,” said Jim Graven, director of membership for the SDC. “Through the SDC, members will be the first to know about new products or data corrections as they happen.”

According to the SDC, receivers that prefer to regulate the flow of data may choose to utilize a delivery scheduler, which can manage deliveries by date and time in full file refreshes or net changes since the last delivery.

The SEMA Data Co-op is an industry-owned and -operated project designed to bring full product data management capabilities to participating suppliers at the lowest possible cost. Features include a secure, industry standards-based, centralized data repository, on-boarding tools, expert live training and technical assistance and unlimited standard or fully customized data exports.
