The Digital Supply Chain Producer
$$
Producers spend a lot of resources, time and money to develop, update and then ensure that their informative product data is consistent throughout the value chain.
Keeping a product database content-rich, up to date and tidy is time-consuming. Today, much of this work is done manually by both manufacturers and retailers, in several different formats.
These benefits are greatly reduced once links in the value chain start altering pieces of information and relying on manual updates, which translate into obsolete and inconsistent product information.
X-Trade by Xeris automates and simplifies the flow of data and translates the data from the manufacturers´ structure to the dealers’ preferred structures, both existing and new product information. We provide reliable trade information to manufacturers, retailers and their customers.

A nice picture, an assembly-video, the opportunity to see, for example, a dinner table in your living room before you buy it – let us just admit it right away: We are all attracted to a good presentation. With X-Trade by Xeris, this is available at your fingertips.
Is this parquet manufactured from sustainable wood? Which fabrics can choose between for this sofa? What is the seat height of this chair? These are frequently asked questions from customers that may be difficult to find the answer to. X-Trade by Xeris gives you access to all the information you need, when you need it. Always updated. Automatically.
A 3D model can be uploaded in your AR application so you can view the table in your own living room before you buy it. How about upgrading your chairs so it matches the table? No problem, X-Trade by Xeris gives you the tool to visualize everything without stepping out of your own home. No more unnecessary visits to crowded shopping centres and countless different shops to find the right furniture. 5
“With X-Trade by Xeris we hope to enable a process for digital product information that is both faster and with better quality. A streamlined, connected and simple process that is serving our customers and the end market needs in a better way.
Charlotta Persfell Chief Marketing Officer & Chief Commercial Officer Online
Correct product information is key for any collaboration between suppliers and customers, however today the way of sending/receiving information is manual and time consuming. In a continuously more digitalized world this area will be of even more importance, hence we are pleased to be part of the pilot that we hope will bring added value to our customers and Kährs”.
“Commerce is being digitized, and the market for office furniture is no exception. For a, in many ways, traditional dealer distribution, this provokes opportunities in digitalization.
Christian Lodgaard Senior Vice President
Flokk’s ambition is to be a driving force in this development. It’s uncertain whether the solution where dealers in the future must deal with each supplier’s e-commerce solutions, or whether platforms that handle all suppliers will win. Flokk follows both leads. We develop our own e-commerce solutions ourselves, but of platform initiatives in Scandinavia we see Xeris as the most promising and have chosen to enter the project.”.
