Master your data standards.
Data standards establish a common “language” so that all companies within the same sector can exchange information fluidly and reliably. This is the key to automating exchanges, ensuring data reliability, and accelerating time-to-market.
Master your data standards.
Whether you operate in manufacturing, construction, or general B2B, industry standards exist to make your data exchanges more reliable and efficient. As a certified partner solution, MaPS System helps you manage them effortlessly.

The 3 pillars of effective standards management with MaPS System
How an MDM / PIM / DAM platform specifically addresses the need for standards management; here are a few key features.
To comply with any standard, you must first structure your information correctly. MaPS System allows you to create a data architecture perfectly tailored to your needs: add specific fields, organise your categories, and establish relationships between data points. These capabilities ensure you meet the strict requirements of formats such as FAB-DIS, ETIM, and many others.
Exporting incomplete or incorrect data negates all the benefits of using a standard. Our Data Quality Management (DQM) module is designed to guarantee the reliability of your information before it is distributed. Define your business rules, track completeness scores via custom dashboards, and ensure that every piece of information sent to your partners is validated and of the highest quality.
Once your data is structured and validated, it needs to be delivered. Our Data Export module allows you to generate on-demand files in all major industry-standard formats.
Nicoll (Aliaxis): How to transform your catalogue to the FAB-DIS standard?
As a market leader, Nicoll must communicate product catalogue updates to 7,000 retailers. Distributors have a clear expectation: to receive, twice a year, a complete and up-to-date FAB-DIS file, which serves as the gold standard for integrating product offers.
MaPS System: The advantage of a “FAB-DIS Inside” certified PIM
- Master data centralisation: Technical data from the ERP is automatically consolidated within the MaPS PIM.
- Collaborative enrichment: Nearly 200 users complete and enrich product and marketing data directly within the platform.
- One-click export: From the MaPS System interface, business teams select products and generate a FAB-DIS 3.0 compliant file in a single click.
- “FAB-DIS Inside” certification: This official certification guarantees that the export generated by MaPS System is 100% compliant with the model’s structure, eliminating the need for custom development or tedious manual checks.
Results: Time savings, reliability, and autonomy
- Simplified data exchanges: Nicoll has moved away from the complex management of multiple client-specific data formats.
- Data reliability: The PIM ensures high levels of completeness, while Easy-Check validation guarantees the quality of information transmitted to distributors.
- Team autonomy: Fully automated generation has empowered business users and resulted in considerable time savings.
