Salsify

Salsify’s unified PXM platform is specifically designed to serve as a central system for managing all of your product content. The platform enables you to distribute content — regardless of the format or type of data — to each downstream channel with speed, agility, and efficiency.

Organically built from the ground up, Salsify’s PXM helps you conquer the digital shelf by getting you to market faster, reducing costs, uniting your teams, and so much more.

Salsify gives you better automation, scalability, repeatability, and a more cohesive user experience than any other PXM vendor can provide.

1WorldSync

1WorldSync is deeply rooted in Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) data pools. It’s proficient in ensuring your data conforms to GDSN standards and syndicates to GDSN data pools.

However, 1WorldSync's platform — developed through numerous acquisitions — can struggle to adapt to broader product experience management (PXM) needs outside of the GDSN.

While 1WorldSync excels in GDSN compliance, this specialization comes at a cost. Their focus on the GDSN can limit your flexibility, control, and speed to market when it comes to managing and optimizing your product experiences across the digital shelf.

Retail Network: Salsify vs. 1WorldSync

1WorldSync operates as a traditional GDSN data pool, primarily facilitating standardized data exchange. But when it comes to the agility and flexibility brands need to win on the digital shelf, a data pool alone isn't enough.
Salsify provides a comprehensive suite of syndication solutions designed to support the full breadth of publishing use cases required for effective PXM.

Salsify’s expansive PXM network enables brands to publish directly to retailers, distributors, marketplaces, digital catalogs, and data pools — all while ensuring product content is optimized for every channel.

With Salsify’s direct retailer partnerships and built-in compliance checks, your product data is closely aligned with retailer, category, and regulatory requirements. That means fewer headaches, faster time to market, and a seamless shopping experience that drives conversions.

Salsify Unifies Commerce and Supply Chain Data

1WorldSync’s platform is built around GS1 data standards, making it highly structured for GDSN syndication — but it’s rigid and difficult to use beyond that.

Effective PXM requires brands to manage both commerce and supply chain data operations together cohesively. Managing these flows in separate systems adds complexity, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies.

Salsify provides a unified platform that allows you to seamlessly manage GDSN data alongside all of your other product information.
With one source of truth for all product data, brands can maintain consistency, maximize data reuse, streamline workflows, and accelerate time to market.

Salsify Offers Greater Flexibility and Automation

1WorldSync’s strict GS1 standards for all data input can make adapting content for different channels or internal requirements challenging and time-consuming. Brands often need manual workarounds to meet ecommerce-specific requirements.

Salsify’s advanced automation, configurable workflows, and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered capabilities allow brands to optimize and transform product content for every channel — without the constraints of a rigid GDSN framework.

Salsify’s platform is innately flexible, enabling you to store data however you require without forcing you to immediately adhere to GDSN standards.

Salsify’s PXM Platform Eliminates Data Silos

1WorldSync has expanded through acquisitions, combining multiple platforms for GDSN, product information management (PIM), enhanced content, and digital shelf analytics.

But these disconnected systems create silos, requiring additional integrations and manual effort to manage product content effectively.

Salsify was built as a single, cohesive platform. From PIM to syndication, digital shelf analytics, and content optimization, every tool works together seamlessly — eliminating inefficiencies and ensuring teams can work smarter, not harder.

Salsify Delivers Faster, More Reliable Syndication

1WorldSync is effective for GDSN syndication, but its publishing network is primarily limited to data pools and doesn’t provide the depth of direct retailer connections needed to thrive in modern commerce.

Salsify’s syndication network is built for modern commerce, spanning retailers, distributors, marketplaces, digital catalogs, and data pools.

Our robust set of syndication tools — including mappings, formulas, readiness reports, and closed-loop feedback — ensures product data is always up to date, meets unique retailer requirements, and is optimized for conversion.
