1WorldSync's Community Platform is Now Public

Launched in 2020, 1WorldSync's product content resource center and peer-to-peer discussion forum connects retailers, distributors, and brands

CHICAGO, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 1WorldSync, the Chicago-based technology company that provides the world's leading brands and retailers with critical product information to help consumers make purchasing decisions, announced today that its Community platform is open to the public.

The 1WorldSync Community is a one-stop resource center and peer-to-peer discussion forum connecting brands with their retailer and distributor partners. It also empowers successful product content strategies via education, training, and support from 1WorldSync experts.

"Opening the Community to the general public is an important step toward creating a more interconnected network of global commerce professionals across a spectrum of functions, from master data and sales to e-commerce and marketing," said Chris Aston, Chief Experience Officer at 1WorldSync. "Now, anyone seeking answers to their product content questions has a place to connect with other users, retailers, distributors and brands, effectively and efficiently."

Activity on the 1WorldSync Community has grown significantly since its launch in 2020, with average monthly traffic growing 56% in 2023 and 2024 over the previous two years. The platform also excels at matching users with resolutions to common product content management inquiries. According to a report from the global community platform provider Khoros, across 14,000-plus searches for content in 2023 and 2024, Community users found their answer 97% of the time. The most commonly used categories across the platform include brand-to-retailer syndication, product content training topics, and 1WorldSync platform tutorials and FAQs.

Distributors such as UNFI and McLane are among the many content recipients who leverage the Community and encourage their customers to do so, as well.

"1WorldSync's Community platform is the best source of information when questions arise about product content regarding global data standards (GDSN) or industry standards," said Beckey James, EC Manager at McLane Company. "When I have a question or need to refer to the most updated releases, Community is the first place I go. I also refer our suppliers to the Community when they have questions.".

The general public can now access the 1WorldSync Community via browser search or shared links and will have read-only access to the content; a free registration enables access to all content and tools. 1WorldSync customers and internal users should continue using the single sign-on access functionality.
