TRADE
TOPICS THAT MOVE
The commerce industry includes businesses engaged in the sale of goods and services to consumers, including retail and wholesale. It faces challenges such as digitizing the customer experience, managing the supply chain and adapting to changing consumer preferences.
Online retail has revolutionized the sector by increasing the importance of data analytics and customer-centric approaches.
Data quality
and integrity
Large amounts of data are generated in retail every day. This can lead to data quality issues, such as inaccurate, incomplete or outdated data. Without accurate and timely data, analysis and decisions can be inaccurate, which can lead to financial losses.
Data integration
and silos
Different departments of a trading company often work with different systems and data sources. This can lead to data silos, making it difficult to gain a holistic view of the company's data and processes. Effective data integration is therefore crucial to ensure consistent and comprehensive business insights.
Data security
and protection
Merchants collect sensitive data from customers, including personal and financial information. Protecting this data from unauthorized access and cyberattacks is of utmost importance. At the same time, retailers need to ensure they are compliant with data protection laws such as GDPR.
Analysis and use
of big data
Retailers have access to a wide range of data sources - from sales data to online behavioral data to inventory data. The challenge is to process, analyze and use this amount of data usefully. This includes implementing advanced analytics techniques such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to generate competitive insights.

Classification manager
ableX's Classification Manager is a powerful tool that allows users to automatically categorize and organize their data. It uses algorithms and predefined rules to organize data into structured groups, enabling systematic analysis and easier discovery of information. Users can define their own categories tailored to their specific requirements and processes, creating a personalized data structure. This feature supports compliance with data standards, facilitates reporting, and improves the overall efficiency of data management by automating sorting of large data sets, saving time and increasing accuracy.
DQR Editor
The "DQR Editor" (Data Quality Rules Editor) is a specialized feature within ableX that allows users to implement detailed data quality guidelines and precisely control their application. This tool provides a user-friendly interface to set specific parameters for data validation, such as format checks, value range restrictions, and dependency rules between data fields. The editor allows these rules to be applied to records to identify and correct inconsistencies, duplicates and errors. This allows organizations to proactively manage and continually improve the quality of their data, resulting in trustworthy data and informed business decisions.
Datafield Mapping
The "Datafield Mapping" feature in ableX is a critical tool that gives users the ability to meaningfully map data fields from a variety of data sources. This feature creates compatibility between heterogeneous data formats, which is essential for synchronizing information across different systems and platforms. With data field mapping, corresponding data fields are identified and linked, which creates a homogeneous data view. This is particularly advantageous when data from different systems such as CRM, ERP or external third-party databases need to be consolidated. It plays a central role in data migration, data import or data merging, for example by ensuring that 'customer number' in one database is correctly linked to 'client ID' in the other.
Referencing
The "Referencing" feature in ableX is a crucial tool for structuring and meaningfully connecting database content. It allows users to create unique references between records that serve as references. These references are essential for establishing relationships between different data elements, such as between customer and order data in a sales database. Referencing is also important when importing and exporting data between different systems, as it helps ensure the correct mapping between different fields and data sources. It plays a central role in ensuring data quality, especially in complex systems where the accuracy and reliability of information is critical for operational decisions, reporting and analytics.
