What HivePix delivers
HivePix takes the translation work off your team and puts correct product data wherever it is needed. The benefits show up across procurement, operations, sales and compliance.
Less manual work and fewer costly errors
Partner data arrives validated and correctly shaped, so your team stops chasing, interpreting and rekeying whatever lands in the inbox. Correct dimensions, part numbers and current specifications directly into your systems.
Faster partner onboarding

Speed to sales and revenue
Faster product information means no missed promotional windows, context for agentic commerce and responsive customer quotes.
Compliance ready
Every exchange is traceable and auditable, ready for ESG, Scope 3 and Modern Slavery Act reporting.
Data ready for AI
Complete, consistent product data gives your forecasting, procurement and AI tools something reliable to work from.
Easier to do business with
Customers reward whoever is easiest to deal with. Clean data exchange removes the clunky handoffs that cost you the next order.
The data handoffs
The last analogue mile. The gap is not just technology, it is data reformatting. Routing guides, new line forms and onboarding packs still run on PDFs, spreadsheets and manual re-keying rather than structured, exchangeable and scalable data. HivePix takes each partner's format as-is.
| Handoff | Where the pain lies today | With HivePix |
|---|---|---|
| 01Partner onboardingCompany details, certifications, compliance, insurance | PDFs and spreadsheets, chased and rekeyed. 18.8 days on average, out to 91. | Partners send what they have, in their format. Gaps flagged back automatically. Days, not weeks. |
| 02Product and item dataAttributes, BOM, part numbers, UOM, pricing, dimensions, imagery, warranty documents | Codes and units mapped by hand, unvalidated. Garbage enters the item master here and slows speed to revenue. | Validated on the way in against your Template, mapped to your codes. No rekeying. |
| 03Pricing, inventory and visibilityPricing changes alerts and visibility, see timely product availability and BoM detail. | Pricing and availability changes are slow to receive, manual to upload and result in lost sales, missed promotional windows. Incomplete BoM information leads to production delays and poor customer service. | An order triggers a Flow that dispatches current pricing, inventory, specs shaped per system. |
| 04Compliance and documentsCertificates, provenance, safety and sustainability claims | Certificates sit in email threads and folders. Nothing tracks expiry or completeness across 100s of partners. | Structured, searchable attributes with an audit trail. Pro-active warranty expiry, quality and compliance alerts. |
Between organisations, data is still analogue.
Inside companies, data is digital. Between trading partners it still moves by spreadsheet, email, and PDF. The top 5% of suppliers might be EDI-connected. The other 95% (the long tail) exchange manually, leading to errors, delays and lost sales.
Manual friction
Emailed RFIs, rekeyed PDFs and information surveys take weeks to collate. Copy and paste creates missing attributes and costly errors that surface in the warehouse.
Eroded margins
An incomplete, inconsistent view of product data creates operational and sales blind spots. Quoting waits on supplier answers, and the weeks (sometimes months!) it takes to manually collate, and input supplier and product data means lost sales.
Stalled performance & compliance
Fragmented, manually managed data starves AI and analytics. Compliance evidence for provenance, ESG and DPP is scattered across inboxes and shared drives.
HivePix doesn’t replace your systems of record. It replaces the spreadsheet, the email thread, and the manual process that every supply chain still runs on.
Three forces are making the old way unsustainable.
Global volatility
Supply chains cannot absorb manual handoffs at scale. Volatile tariffs, pricing and disruptions demand real-time visibility and fast identification of viable alternatives.
A surge in compliance
Provenance, ESG, traceability and the EU Digital Product Passport demand structured, auditable data across every tier, not evidence scattered in inboxes.
AI and agentic commerce
AI runs on clean, connected, structured data. Fragmented partner data caps AI ROI and sales competitiveness. Data readiness is now a board-level agenda.
Questions about HivePix and product data exchange
What is HivePix?
HivePix connects suppliers and customers so they can exchange complete, compliant product and supply chain data: attributes, documents, images, certifications and compliance information, through one platform in a format that works for everyone. Every exchange is traceable, auditable and ready to feed directly into your internal systems. What makes HivePix genuinely different is the many-to-many ecosystem model, where no partner is forced to comply with another partner's structures or rules. HivePix does the hard work in translation and augmentation for seamless exchange. Every new supplier or customer that joins your network increases the value for every other participant. The result is faster product launches, AI-ready data, and a supply chain built to withstand disruption.
What problems does HivePix solve?
Despite billions invested in EDI, ERP, PIM and MDM systems, the moment data needs to move between organisations it typically falls back on spreadsheets, email attachments and manual re-entry. This means lost sales, operating efficiencies, and supply chain resilience. Three forces are raising the stakes: supply chain volatility exposing the cost of opacity across supplier networks; rising regulation (GS1, FDA, Modern Slavery Act, Scope 3, EU Digital Product Passport) dramatically increasing the stakes for data accuracy; and the AI era, where fragmented product data is rapidly becoming a ceiling on AI ROI. HivePix addresses all of these from a single platform. Because it operates as a connected ecosystem, solving the problem for one company makes it easier and more valuable for every company connected to it.
What does poor product data actually cost my business?
Poor product data costs far more than most businesses realise, because the cost is spread across so many teams that no single budget line captures it. Every day a product sits in a data backlog is a day it is not on a shelf, and a missed seasonal window can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost sales from one product line. Gartner estimates data quality issues cost organisations an average of $12.9M per year. AI does not compensate for incomplete product data; it amplifies the problem.
Is HivePix a replacement for our PIM or ERP system?
HivePix does not replace your PIM or ERP. It manages the product data exchange layer between your organisation and your external supply chain partners, connecting your existing systems rather than replacing them. Your ERP and PIM continue operating exactly as they do today.
