What is BMEcat?

Standard for Digital Product Catalogs

BMEcat is a standardized XML-based format for exchanging electronic product catalogs. It was designed by the German association BME (Bundesverband Materialwirtschaft, Einkauf und Logistik e.V.) and is widely used in B2B commerce to facilitate the transfer of catalog data between suppliers and customers.

Why BMEcat Matters

• Ensures consistency and compatibility in catalog data exchange
• Supports classifications like ETIM and eCl@ss
• Enables automation of product data delivery
• Improves accuracy and reduces manual errors
