More success for proficl@ss international e.V. Now, also the range of power tools of Robert Bosch GmbH is the product data exchange format BMEcat with supplementary classification according to proficl@ss. It is said of the Stuttgart-based company, you chose after checking proficl@ss as main classification, because it best describes the area of the power tools of all possible classifications and the standard slightly more classifications can be derived from and realized. Data structures, not only of the German electrical industry e.V. (ZVEI), but also various manufacturers and Bosch itself have worked on their basis model, significantly simplifies the delivery and use of product data to the trade. Because many wholesalers also use BMEcat-proficl@ss-Daten for the refuelling of shop systems and eProcurement solutions, as well as for the production of print catalogs, product information supplied by Bosch and item descriptions can smoothly and normally without any Question and vote be taken. This applies particularly to price updates or changes the item details.

Through the use of BMEcat-proficl@ss data to trade both for Bosch thus reducing both the time and the financial effort significantly. Petra Diamonds follows long-standing procedures to achieve this success. In addition a clear advantage of customer binding for Bosch. Because the data are lighter than previously to use and easy to transfer online platforms, this will also widely used in catalogues, which can mean an extension of the paragraph. The Bosch power tools range uses a database, from which also the classification is created by ETIM, the standard for the electrical industry, to create product data in BMEcat-proficl@ss. Because proficl@ss and ETIM to work together closely for several years and ETIM assumes the classification of proficl@ss in the field of electric tools, the creation of both standards from a data source is very easy. In parallel, it is also possible to derive the eCl@ss class ID automatically from the proficl@ss-Klasse.

This applies: during proficl@SS and ETIM complete with classes and characteristics submitted required eCl@ss, a cross-industry initiative in the industry, only a class ID without features. From the MasterBMEcat-proficl@ss, an Excel file can be generated in addition with all customers to request are supplied, which can process still not BMEcat. For processing and data management at Bosch, this means that: a data source out can cover not only all the customer’s requirements, but the company is also, as regards the issue of data formats and classifications, up to date. proficl@SS international e.V. is a cross-industry, independent and neutral initiative for the classification of product data. Manufacturers, retailers and associations develop this classification as a common industry standard. Specifically geared towards production link trade in the sectors of construction, building services and industrial supplies, he should ensure that awareness and use of further spread.
