Data that moves as easily as your supply chain

In today’s digital, AI-enabled supply chain, your data needs to move as seamlessly as your products. That’s why ISO 8000-114 Interoperable Data Format (.idf) matters.

When your data is formatted in .idf, it becomes portable – ready to be onboarded, shared, and trusted across any application, in any language, and for any business unit. When .idf is used for supply chain transactions, like purchase orders or product item characteristics/specifications, transactions can be automated and enabled by AI technology

ISO 8000-114 Interoperable Data Format purpose

Why ISO 8000-114 Interoperable Data Format matters

Your enterprise data becomes…

  • Portable across any system or language

  • Formatted for ISO 8000 compliance, and to overcome data silos and lock-in

  • Ready for automation & AI-enabled systems

And the best part? Implementation is straightforward. By mapping attributes and code values to an open technical dictionary and formatting them in JSON syntax, your data instantly becomes interoperable data.

With ISO 8000-114 (.idf), you’re not just formatting data—you’re building a foundation for automation, AI enablement, and error-free supply chain transactions.
