BetterLife datahub
Connected to Trusted and Non-trusted data providers
The datahub is designed for customers who require product data from different sources.
Besides world-wide access to the GS1 network, we are connected to multiple trusted and non-trusted data providers in multiple countries.
Trusted data have been entered by the manufacturers, Non-trusted data are collected by data aggregator companies.
Mapping process
We are mapping all the different attributes from all data pool providers to Betterlife’s API format and keep them updated. Connecting to a single API will reduce complexity and you will get highspeed access to all the data you need.
High speed access
Manufacturers often upload TIFF images which can have big file sizes (+50MB). We convert these images to png and reduce the file size to 1-5MB without quality loss. This is just one example of many tweaks we take care of in the background.
