Healthcare Products Enrichment
SoftNis has over 10 years of robust experience in providing Healthcare Products Data Cleansing, Enrichment and
Classification Services. We at Softnis strongly believe that Data enrichment is a value adding process to provide more
information of the product to the customer while enhancing the quality and richness of the product data.
Our Data Enrichment practice follows the methodology of Product Sourcing, Product Classification to Standard/
Custom Taxonomy, Taxonomy Development, Specification Attributes (Schema) Development, Values Gathering,
Applications, Features and its Benefits Listing, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) / Technical Data Sheets /
Installation Sheets, Description Generation (Unique and Standard) and Image Capture / Format / Resizing.
Product Sourcing
Products will be sourced by researching Manufacturer’s /Supplier’s websites/indexes/catalogues to identify the
product and its characteristics.
The product will be sourced as per the hierarchy captured below:
• Manufacturer's Website/Catalogues: As a first step we source or corroborate the product information from the
manufacturer’s website to ensure precise and authenticated results.
• Supplier's Website/Catalogues: Just in case product information is not present on the manufacturer’s website,
and relevant details are not made available, then the next logical step is to source the product information online
through related suppliers’ or distributors’ websites.
• Not found: When product listing or product details are absolutely not found online or/ and there is no relevant
information that can be sourced online even after an exhaustive search, we will conclude that the product is `Not
found’.
Taxonomy Development
Standard Taxonomy
The standard taxonomies are too generic and are developed basically to cover most of the verticals or most of the
products in a vertical. If a customer is a distributor of Healthcare products, it gets too generic and ends up in lack of
user hierarchy navigation. Following few standard taxonomies are predominantly used in the Healthcare sector :
eCl@ss, GMDN, CPV, UNSPSC, WHO and more.
Custom Taxonomy
Custom taxonomy is tailored and focussed entirely on the customer's range of products. Accordingly the product
classification breakup is defined in a comprehensive and detailed manner and the hierarchy is suitably followed.

SoftNis’s Standard Healthcare Products Dictionary (Attributes Set)
Currently SoftNis has more than 1,000 unique products attribute set in the dictionary. Each Product set is having minimum of 15
attributes and maximum of 52 attributes with Data types, Descriptions, Sample values, Unit of Measures and priority order. As per each
client's requirement, the attribute set can be modified and/or rearranged.
Descriptions
The unique descriptions are generated with a combination of Product Name, Attributes Name and Values.
Long Descriptions are non-abbreviated and length of the description varies depending on the attribute values. To keep the descriptions
distinct, only those attributes which perfectly identify the products are used.

3. We have been working on the Healthcare Products classification and taxonomy method for many years now. We have
enhanced our knowledge and adapted to many different facets and aspects of the Product classification over the years.
Our team members are trained and specialized similarly.
Our consolidated Classification experience has been highlighted in the following salient points.
Product Sourcing
Products are sourced from respective Manufacturer’s/
Supplier’s website or catalogues, to make sure that
products are identified appropriately. The objective of
sourcing is to ensure that the product identification and
subsequent classification process is carried out suitably.
Better Accuracy
Our customized approach has conformed to the best-
suited classification processes uniquely for every customer
requisites, data and product types individually with
consistency and accuracy in data.
Commodity Level Classification
By in-depth understanding of the product type / class and
by referring sourced data and input description, we
ensure that the product is classified as per its exactly
available category.
Healthcare Products Classification Services
Version upgrade
Classification system is ever-changing. While newer
versions are frequently introduced by the governing
body, in the course of the project undertaking, just in
case any newer versions or upgrades to the existing
versions are introduced, we ensure to extend our
support for the same.
Competency and know-how
Our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), are well-versed in
the categorization and classification process, with wide-
ranging experience gathered by working on various
classification projects.
Data Confidentiality
We adhere to and have incorporated the latest data
security measures and policies. We vouch for a fact that
our client’s data is absolutely safe and secure with us.

Global Medical Device Nomenclature (GMDN)
GMDN - the standard for naming and grouping medical devices. The main purpose of the GMDN is to provide
health authorities and regulators, health care providers, manufacturers and others with a naming system that can be
used to exchange medical device information and support patient safety.
GMDN is 5 digit numeric code cross-referenced to a precisely defined Term Name and Definition. Examples:

UNSPSC Classification
UNSPSC is a leading global standard, universally accepted in classifying products and services to provide wider
visibility in attaining a concise analysis and management of financial expenses of an organization. The UNSPSC code
is designed as an 8 digit number which has 4 levels of UNSPSC Code hierarchy with a scope for addition of 2 more
digits in the form of an optional fifth level. Presently, the latest UNSPSC version is 23.0701.
Sample Product Classification by eCl@ss
Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV)
The CPV consists of a main vocabulary and a supplementary vocabulary. The main vocabulary is based on a tree
structure comprising codes of up to 9 digits associated with a wording that describes the supplies, works or services
forming the subject of the contract.
• The first two digits identify the divisions (XX000000-Y);
• The first three digits identify the groups (XXX00000-Y);
• The first four digits identify the classes (XXXX0000-Y);
• The first five digits identify the categories (XXXXX000-Y);
Each of the last three digits gives a greater degree of precision within each category.
