Why work on Knowde?

It’s the beginning of 2024, and it’s an exciting time to be in the chemical industry. New ways to confront artificial intelligence and sustainability have taken the industry by storm, and more suppliers and distributors are joining the race towards digital transformation.

And yet, our core focus at Knowde is product master data. The natural question is: why?

I've been reflecting on this question more over the last year. In short, the answer is what it says on our homepage today: it’s so that you don’t have to. We came out of 2023 with even more affirmation from suppliers and distributors that the core problem holding them back from digital transformation is the organization and digitization of their product data. Failed, delayed or over-budget transformation projects can often be traced back to complex and disorganized product master data. Structuring and digitizing product data has been Knowde’s core competency from inception and we are working tirelessly to empower our customers to take control of their data and use it to drive their digital transformation agendas forward.

The chemical industry is one of the oldest and largest industries in the world and this means that there are decades worth of product data sitting in PDFs, SharePoint drives, data sheets and brochures. After investing in digital transformation roadmaps, suppliers are then realizing that their customer facing and sales enabling platforms are unable to operate when their data doesn’t have standardized attributes or single taxonomic terms across all of their products and regions. On the other hand, distributors are facing increased demands and pressures to collect, organize and analyze product data on behalf of their principals and face the same challenges. 

Knowde’s AI will ingest, extract and harmonize all of your product data and build a consistent product hierarchy and nomenclature for suppliers, brands, products and SKUs and map to the hierarchy. This all then lives in a Product Information Management (PIM) system, which will act as your single source of truth for global product information. This PIM feeds into your website, CRM, ERP, CMS, marketplace and all of your other business systems to unlock both your customer facing capabilities and sales enablement functions to increase revenue, lower data governance costs, drive operational efficiencies, reduce regulatory risk and increase sustainability transparency.

We’re not only here to educate the industry on digital transformation, but to inspire and reveal the full potential of what this industry can accomplish with clean and organized product data. A company like Knowde has never existed in our industry and we are well aware of how ambitious our goals are. Yet, we’re here because there is a race in our industry towards transformation and we have the full conviction that those who organize their data will get there first.
