The Home Depot Data Synchronization Initiative
The Global Data Synchronization (GDS) program has been one of The Home Depot's key corporate initiatives over the past two years. Jointly with our supplier partners and Big Hammer Data, a division of Edgenet, we have built the largest and richest private data pool in the hardlines industry. We have completed the initial phases of the program, validated its benefits, and now wish to extend the scope and value of the GDS initiative.
In order to align our efforts with overall hardlines industry data synchronization efforts, we will now be requiring supplier participation in the Big Hammer Marketing Data Pool (MDP), as well as a Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) Supplier Data Pool. This will provide suppliers with the ability to fully synchronize all product content to all of your selected retail trading partners via a public data pool.
