SoftNis has over 10 years of robust experience in providing Healthcare Products Catalog Data Enrichment and Classification Services. We at SoftNis strongly believe that Catalog Data Enrichment is a value adding process to provide more information of the product to the customer while enhancing the quality and richness of the product data.

Our Data Enrichment practice follows the methodology of Product Sourcing, Product Classification to Standard/Custom Taxonomy, Taxonomy Development, Specification Attributes (Schema) Development, Values Gathering, Applications, Features and its Benefits Listing, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) / Technical Data Sheets / Installation Sheets, Description Generation (Unique and Standard) and Image Capturing / Formatting / Resizing.
Products will be sourced by researching Manufacturer’s /Supplier’s websites/indexes/catalogues to identify the product and its characteristics.
The product will be sourced as per the hierarchy captured below:
The standard taxonomies are too generic and are developed basically to cover most of the verticals or most of the products in a vertical. If a customer is a distributor of Healthcare products, it gets too generic and ends up in lack of user hierarchy navigation. Following few standard taxonomies are predominantly used in the Healthcare sector : ECLASS, GMDN, CPV, UNSPSC, WHO and more.

Custom taxonomy is tailored and focussed entirely on the customer's range of products. Accordingly the product classification breakup is defined in a comprehensive and detailed manner and the hierarchy is suitably followed.

We have been working on the Healthcare Products classification and taxonomy method for many years now. We have enhanced our knowledge and adapted to many different facets and aspects of the Product classification over the years. Our team members are trained and specialized similarly.

GMDN - The standard for naming and grouping medical devices. The main purpose of the GMDN is to provide health authorities and regulators, health care providers, manufacturers and others with a naming system that can be used to exchange medical device information and support patient safety.
GMDN is 5 digit numeric code cross-referenced to a precisely defined Term Name and Definition. Examples:

UNSPSC is a leading global standard, universally accepted in classifying products and services to provide wider visibility in attaining a concise analysis and management of financial expenses of an organization. The UNSPSC code is designed as an 8 digit number which has 4 levels of UNSPSC Code hierarchy with a scope for addition of 2 more digits in the form of an optional fifth level. Presently, the latest UNSPSC version is 23.0701.

The CPV consists of a main vocabulary and a supplementary vocabulary. The main vocabulary is based on a tree structure comprising codes of up to 9 digits associated with a wording that describes the supplies, works or services forming the subject of the contract.
Each of the last three digits gives a greater degree of precision within each category.

“SoftNis helped us to build an online catalog by providing content for our medical products. The quality content with Taxonomy and Attributes helped us to go live in a short span of time.”

“We were in search of UNSPSC service providers to classify our products to upload it to the TrueTrade platform. As the TrueTrade platform accepts only UNSPSC codes at the Commodity level, SoftNis helped us classify all our products well in time and with good quality. Most importantly they understood our products, type, and application and classified all our products to the Commodity level.”
