With DEC, channel partners automatically receive brands' curated and up-to-date catalogs directly to their websites.
$3000 USD value for channel partners.
No cost. No commitment. 100% upside.
Eliminate manual entry, keep pricing and product data 100% up-to-date, and ensure every quote & order uses real-time information across your network.
Site cosmetics, pricing, availability, lead times, payment accounts & more easily managed without coding.
Entering suppliers product data into your website can easily take hours per product, and more if there are configurators. Product titles, descriptions, features, specifications, images, configurators, and documentation are all important details to source, enter, and format.
A multi-brand catalog can easily have 2000+ product series. One well-presented product series can take 4+ hours for a merchant or channel partner to create. The cost to manually build a catalog can balloon quickly.
For example:
2000 product series at 4 hours per product, multiplied by $25/hour, equals an initial build cost of $200,000.
The time-to-build is 8000 hours, or two-hundred 40-hour work weeks, for one data entry person, equating to 3.84 years. That's not including breaks, meetings, etc.
Once refreshment & meal breaks (60-minutes/day) are factored in, the above time-to-market increases by 1000 hours or 6-1/4 months, bringing the time-to-build to 4.6 years and the cost to $225,000. for one individual. Additionally, vacation days need to be accounted for.
Dividing this data entry project between three team members can reduce this time-to-build to 1.53 years, however the labor cost does not decrease. There is also the opportunity cost - products not yet built cannot be promoted or sold on the site.
When you compare this to the ultra-efficient process of adding 20 Yodify DEC brands with a combined 2000 products to your catalog in a single day, it's clear why brands and channel partners use Yodify DEC. Countless catalog-ready products can be added to websites in minutes.
With Yodify DEC, the vast majority of the site expense is eliminated, enabling DEC channel partners to effortlessly display thousands of products.
Channel partners' one-off manual builds of their suppliers catalogs simply don't have the ROI to justify the time and financial investment, much less the ongoing maintenance of keeping up with manufacturers' evolving product specifications, etc. This is proven time and again with businesses starting their sites with great intentions but soon realizing building one-off product catalogs is a herculean and cost-prohibitive task. Most website platforms don't tell you this, they entice you with a low monthly fee, loads of do-it-yourself features, then lock you in before you find out the hard truth of building your catalog from scratch.
Yodify DEC solves this problem. For every industry.
Yodify DEC introduces a simple but transformational idea:
The manufacturer becomes the single source of product truth for all partners, and every partner’s website, catalog, and quoting system stays updated in real time.
This eliminates every form of duplicate work in the channel.
Instead of partners rebuilding a brand’s product data, they subscribe to it.
Instead of partners maintaining thousands of SKUs, they inherit the manufacturer’s maintained data stream.
Instead of partners guessing what changed, they receive structured updates instantly.
This is the first time partners have ever had direct, frictionless access to:
Live product data
Live specs and attributes
Live configurations
Live documentation
Live pricing (where allowed)
Live images & assets
DEC removes the cost centers that partners hate and replaces them with revenue-centers they value.
Absolutely. For resellers that do not have access to a brands DEC Library, it's comparatively very expensive to present the brands' products even close to the standard that the brand supplies directly to its DEC channel partners.
With DEC, product updates flow automatically to the DEC partners sites.
DEC effectively builds a moat around the brand and its DEC channel partners
, both from the competition and grey market resellers.
Resellers who do not have access to a brands DEC catalog are also likely to diminish the brands narrative and reputation by using incomplete, outdated, or incorrect product data.
A website with rich, detailed product content that engages your customers, presents your business professionally, engages customers, and drives sales both online and offline.
DEC does not require rebuilding anything. DEC is a
data layer, not a website platform.
Partners can:
Add DEC product data into their current site
Use Yodify’s e-commerce platform
Or run both in parallel
Your existing catalog is not the problem. Maintaining it is.
DEC eliminates:
Rebuilding
Editing
Correcting
Versioning
Uploading
Fixing
Hunting for missing PDF datasheets and assorted content
Updating the same SKU multiple times across multiple systems
Your team’s work becomes an asset, not a liability to maintain.
Absolutely not. Channel partners retain full control of:
Pricing
Promotions
Lead flow
SEO strategy
Merchandising
Cross-selling bundles
Channel partners receive just the product data, and sell as they prefer.
DEC allows partners to:
Add private SKUs
Create custom bundles
Create region-only items
Add aftermarket parts & accessories
Hide manufacturer SKUs they do not sell
Partners gain more flexibility, not less.
Yes. DEC is a data subscription, not a data exposure.
Partners keep:
Their customers
Their quoting history
Their internal analytics
Their CRM
Their ERP
Manufacturers never see distributor customer data unless intentionally shared. For all quotes, orders, and returns, both DEC Basic and DEC Infinity redact the customer name, address and unit prices. Brand sees the product, quantity, currency and date of quote, order, and return.
DEC integrates into the tools partners already use:
ERP
CRM
Quoting
Website/CMS
e-commerce
PIM
Distributor portal
DEC supplies the data; your workflows remain intact.
DEC improves partner SEO because:
Pages are more complete
Attributes are structured
Documentation is embedded
Configurations are indexable
Updates propagate instantly
Partners win more organic traffic, not less.
