Data pool
A data pool is a centralized repository of data where trading partners (retailers, distributors, or suppliers) can obtain, maintain, and exchange information about products in a standard format. Suppliers can upload data to a data pool, which retailers receive through their data pool.
Data pools store trade items that contain key attributes, such as the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), in standardized formats that allow trading partners to easily synchronize their data.
