What is BMEcat?

BMEcat (Business to Many Electronic Catalog) is a technological standard for exchanging product data, developed to improve communication between companies. The standard is based on XML format, which allows for structured and organized storage and transfer of product data. BMEcat is commonly used in B2B (business-to-business) relationships to transmit product catalogs, including information such as descriptions, technical specifications, prices, images and more.
