Setcrete’s range of floor levelling compounds, tile adhesives and grouts are now listed on Data Yard, the builders’ merchant industry’s centralised product data exchange platform which was created to simplify access to key product data in a standardised, consistent format.
Developed through collaboration between the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) and the National Merchant Buying Society, Data Yard provides a single source of manufacturer-verified product information from over 140 supplier members to simplify product selection, improve efficiency and satisfy increasing demands for compliance, transparency, and traceability.
The centralised platform enables manufacturers to publish product data once, in a standardised and structured format that allows authorised merchants and buying group partners to access consistent, validated information without the need for multiple bespoke templates or duplicate data requests.
Michael Hoe, Setcrete National Sales Manager, explained the benefits of including the company’s products on Data Yard: “For Setcrete, it means we can provide partners with consistent, high-quality product information, helping them keep their own systems up to date, while making it easier for customers to access accurate data, imagery and technical information about the company’s products.
“The platform hosts a comprehensive range of information, including product specifications, packaging dimensions, technical data, imagery and video content. We will continue to review and enhance our product data, as new content becomes available. This includes more sophisticated product information, such as environmental and sustainability specifications.”
Gareth Thomas, Managing Director of Data Yard added: “As a leading manufacturer of floor levelling compounds, tile adhesives and grouts, we are delighted to welcome Setcrete as a supplier partner at Data Yard.
“Having companies like Setcrete and other leading product manufacturers integrated into our platform it affirms the benefits and importance of having a centralised online platform of product data that is readily accessible to merchants and buying groups to simplify and streamline their product data acquisition and processing.”
