Dear Dillard’s Supplier,
Dillard’s values your partnership and remains committed to find ways to improve the flow of information required for
supply chain efficiencies. With the increased pressure in Retail to shorten the item setup, order cycle, receiving and
B2C business process, we have found that additional product attributes are needed.
We are asking our suppliers to begin sending extended product attributes in addition to the current Product and UPC
information provided today via the 3rd Party Catalogs, GXS or InterTrade.
The spreasheet of additional attributes is attached. Not all of these attributes will apply to your merchandise. Please
review the list and begin sending the attributes that are applicable. You may contact your 3rd party UPC Catalog
provider for assistance in loading the data:
GXS – 1-877-446-6847 opt 1, Email – [email protected]
InterTrade - 1-800-873-7803 option 2, Email - [email protected]
We would like to begin receiving this data as soon as possible. As always, Dillard’s will work with you on your timeline,
but we expect to receive the extended attributes from all of our vendors by February 2012.
If you have any questions about this requirement or how it applies to your product, please contact us at
[email protected].
Dillard’s appreciates your continued efforts to build on our partnership.
Sincerely,
Anita Spence
Director, Vendor Relations

central location to replenish sold merchandise
– Aids in providing a “lighter cleaner” inventory level in the
store
– Pooling is ideal for both short lived fashion items (product
placement is key)
– Also ideal for basic items with proven selling
– Shortens replenishment lead time
