✦ Data Model · Version 3.0

FAB-DIS 3.0: structure, enrich, accelerate.

The reference model for product data exchange between manufacturers and distributors. More comprehensive, more compliant, more efficient – designed to meet the demands of today’s and tomorrow’s market.

A model designed for the market’s new challenges
