Supply Chain Doubles in 2020 Giving Retailers Hope with the ECRS Ecosystem

Scrambling to keep shelves stocked was a theme for most retailers in 2020. Suppliers had the inventory essential for retail operators, but there often wasn’t a simple way to connect retailers with farmers, manufacturers, and the supply chain that was desperately needed.

This is where ECRS stepped in to simplify the ordering and distribution process, bringing retailers and suppliers together through the ECRS Ecosystem. This data sharing platform simplifies the process (regardless of EDI capability) and provides a Universal Product Database (UPD) that stores information on thousands of inventory items including images, health attributes, ingredients, nutritional facts, and much more.

Free for manufacturers, farmers, and suppliers, the ECRS’ Ecosystem more than doubled its non-EDI vendors in 2020, giving ECRS CATAPULT Retailers access to more trusted supply chains and thousands of new items. Some of the tremendous growth statistics include:

  • 160,000+ New Item Records
  • 26,000+ New Item Images
  • 13,000+ Health Attributes Associated
  • 206% Increase in Item Ingredients
  • 2,420% Increase in Nutritional Facts
  • 25,000+ Items with Ordering Information Added

Using this seamless data sharing platform, suppliers can increase orders and profit, while retailers have easy access to their suppliers, meaning full shelves and happy customers.
