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 new challenges of the market
Regulatory requirements are multiplying. Purchasing journeys are going digital. Distributors expect increasingly rich and structured data. In response to these shifts, FAB-DIS has evolved its model.
Version 3.0 has been designed with the enrichment of existing thematic blocks and the creation of new ones to cover all needs – from commercial identification to logistics, regulatory and pricing information.
Incomplete or poorly structured product data means a lost sale. The FAB-DIS 3.0 model provides a common foundation that ensures clear, consistent and complete data exchange between manufacturers and distributors.
A model that matches your ambitions
Greater depth, broader coverage, more precision in every field to describe your products with unmatched accuracy.
What 3.0 changes for you
Upgrading to FAB-DIS 3.0 is not just updating a format. It’s turning your product data into a real competitive advantage, measurable and immediate.
Boosted sales performance
Enriched product content through media (product photos, technical sheets…)
Drastically reduced time to market
Your new products reach the market faster, with complete and ready-to-use data.
Proactive regulatory compliance
Environmental, safety, CE standards, REP, AGEC, REACH, RoHS… The model natively integrates current regulations.
A poorly described product is a poorly specified product.
A poorly specified product is a poorly sold product.
FAB-DIS 3.0 ensures every piece of data is in the right place.
Synoptic view of version 3.0
12 interconnected thematic blocks, organized by obligation level, to adapt to all business contexts and company sizes.
Each block has a strategic objective
Each block addresses a specific business need. Together, they form a comprehensive, consistent and ready-to-use product repository.
Commerce
Identification and description of all marketed product references to feed distributors’ and installers’ ERP systems.
Logistics
Optimize your logistics flows with perfectly structured packaging, weight, dimensions and shipping unit information.
Media
Showcase your products across all channels – print catalogues, e-commerce sites, mobile apps – with rich, consistent and up-to-date media. A well-illustrated product is a better-sold product.
Regulatory
Certify and showcase your product compliance. CE standards, REACH, RoHS, REP, AGEC: anticipate today’s and tomorrow’s obligations. Compliance becomes a selling point.
Extension
Share additional product information. An evolving block designed to adapt to emerging market needs without modifying the existing structure.
Correspondence
Generate additional sales by automatically suggesting associated, complementary or alternative products. Every link between references in this block becomes a cross-sell and up-sell opportunity.
Variant
Make it easy to select the right product – colour, size, power, finish – by linking references that are variants of the same product. Buyers find faster, they buy more easily.
ETIM
Share your technical information using the international ETIM standard. A common language, zero information loss.
Discontinuation
Identify references withdrawn from sale and provide the essential information needed for maintenance.
Substitution
Guide your customers to the right replacement product. A smooth transition from old to new, ensuring business continuity.
