Good product information is the foundation of every fashion store. Whether you sell in-store, online, or both, your system must have accurate product data. Think of descriptions, sizes, colors, barcodes, and product photos.
Many fashion retailers use FashionUnited eBusiness to make product data available via EDI for their checkout and online stores. This allows a large portion of product information to be entered automatically.
But not every brand uses EDI. And that's precisely where gaps in the data often arise.
Some brands still provide their product information via Excel or CSV. As a result, certain items don't automatically end up in your system, or product information remains incomplete.
Where Latest Collection makes the difference.
Latest Collection fills exactly that gap.
Brands can submit their product data not only via EDI, but also via Excel or CSV. We process this data and convert it into a single, uniform data structure. This makes product data that wouldn't normally be automatically available usable for systems in the fashion supply chain.
The result is that more article data becomes available for your cash register and your webshop.
- More brands.
- More articles.
- More complete product information.
How does that work with FashionUnited eBusiness.

But you will notice that more articles and product information become available in your cash register and webshop.
No FashionUnited eBusiness yet.
If you're not yet working with FashionUnited eBusiness, you'll first need a subscription to their platform to use this integration.
FashionUnited eBusiness provides the infrastructure for your checkout and online store. Latest Collection then expands this data stream with additional product data from fashion brands.
Together, both platforms ensure that product information becomes more complete and consistent.
Why this difference is bigger than you think.
Many fashion entrepreneurs recognize the problem.
You're using good systems, but sometimes you still need to add product information yourself. Photos are missing. Descriptions are incomplete. Or a brand simply won't deliver via the EDI route you use.
- That means manual work.
- Enter item details.
- Add product information.
- Add images.
Work that is actually already available somewhere in the chain, but is not always delivered correctly.
Combining FashionUnited eBusiness with Latest Collection creates a broader data flow. Product data supplied via EDI remains available, but is supplemented with data provided by brands via other channels.
This increases the network of available brands and articles.
More brands available in your systems.
An important advantage of this collaboration is that you can collect more brands in your checkout and webshop.
Many fashion brands do provide their product data, but not always via EDI. Thanks to Latest Collection, these brands can now also submit their complete product files via Excel or CSV, rather than via an API.
We process this data and convert it into a uniform structure.
This means that article information that normally remains outside the EDI network is still available to all systems in the fashion chain.
For you as an entrepreneur, this simply means: more article data available in your systems.
Do you want to know what this means for your store.
