• Configure data formats (EPCIS, CSV, etc.) to make it easy for individual trade partners to receive and use the data in a form which is easy to consume
• Leverage market-specific workflows to help ensure that trading partners receive the appropriate serialized product data for products which are being transacted (bought/sold) between the partners
• Leverage the TraceLink Network and its extensive supply and trade partner network membership to speed connections with currently onboarded trade partners and simplify connections with new partners
