Who is responsible for registering products for classification?

Smarter Sorting partners with retailers and brands to provide the most accurate product data and regulatory classifications.  This data is critical to help make, market and move products better.  Better data means better decisions, so we want to ensure that we have the best data possible about your products.

We realize that both direct suppliers and third-party distributors and brokers often work together to get brands on as many shelves as possible.  So, no matter what role you play in a retailer’s supply chain, we want to make sure we support you and make product registrations quick and easy.  Select the statement below that best describes you to find out how we can help.

For manufacturers selling directly and/or using third parties – At Smarter Sorting, we take data accuracy and security seriously.  Since you know the most about your products, we need the information directly from you.  We work with thousands of brands to get accurate product information for retailers, while keeping your effort to a minimum.  Whether you sell to retailers directly, work with third parties, or a combination of the two, we can help make sure your product data gets in the system and is shared correctly with your partners.  Book a meeting to discuss the options for sharing your product information.  Sources like Salsify, Syndigo, 1WorldSync, Label Insights, Smart Label may already have data we can access.  Or if you work with other third-parties to curate and distribute your data, we’d love to discuss your options.

For distributors/brokers that don’t have the product data – We realize that you are a critical link between brands and the retailers that want to stock them.  Because of your deep relationships, you are in a perfect position to help get retailer requirements fulfilled.  We work with distributors of all sizes to connect with brands and get products classified.  Chances are, we already work with many of your partners. Book a meeting with us to discuss what brands you work with and what products need to be registered.

For distributors/brokers that DO have the product data – We understand that many third parties like you take the lead on all retailer requests for your brand partners.  This could mean that you are already curating and sharing product data with the direction or approval from your brand partners.  This can make the product registration process super quick and easy.  Contact us to discuss what data you have, and how we can help with the registration process.

No matter your situation, we are here to make the product registration process as quick and easy as possible.  Getting product information directly from manufacturers or from authorized representatives ensures the most accurate data is being shared with retail partners.  Better data means better outcomes, so we are thrilled to be working with you towards a better and more sustainable world of consumer products.
