Transform part number accuracy and validity with an
ECCMA SmartPrefix™
Manufacturers, Suppliers and Corporate Buyers use the ISO 8000-115 compliant SmartPrefix™ to standardize and digitally verify the part numbers used within automated and AI-enabled procurement and supply chain transactions.
A SmartPrefix™ unambiguously identifies the owner of a part number, enabling automated verification before it is used in a purchase order or RFP.
An international part number with a SmartPrefix™ enables digital product information to be made available to customers within catalogs and product specifications, when used as a product identifier in standardized product data. These are called standardized open catalogs of products and services, accessed at the originator’s designated IP address and readable by all software applications in any user language (interoperable quality data).
What are the benefit of using a SmartPrefix™?
Better descriptions improve B2B sales
A SmartPrefix™ uniquely identifies your item or product, even supporting your own branding, making it digitally visible to requisitioners in their ERP systems. ISO 8000 data is machine readable, portable, and exchangeable in multiple languages without loss of meaning.
Empowers Smart Manufacturing and Smart Supply Chain
Supplier chain and Industrial standards ensure that all parties communicate in the same language. Often processes are smart, but the data behind them lacks the true requirement of a digital process. ISO 8000 quality data addresses this missing link in the chain.
Regulation and Trade policy
Large buyers and government agencies are making standardized quality part numbers and standardized product specifications mandatory. A SmartPrefix™ enables you to publish item descriptions in a Interoperable Data Format (.idf) for platform independent sharing of product data.
Overcome compliance issues
ISO 8000 formatted International Part Numbers enable the easy identification of items and linking to multiple classifications and tariff codes.
