Why did Yodify Create this Platform?
Efficiency.   Economy.   Speed.

Yodify created its proprietary platform to provide ground-breaking catalog- and product-sharing libraries to do away with needless repetition of product creation and maintenance.

Brands create one instance of their product catalog, use it in their own environment, and can share it with their sales, marketing, distribution, and support channels. One set of data, from the source, used an infinite number of times. When a product is updated, everyone gets the latest version, in real time, without any added effort. Building products more than once is resource-intensive and wasteful.
