Every age of commerce has a path

The next path for commerce is governed product data.

nutrād — pronounced "new trade" — helps companies move from fragmented product information to an intelligent data fabric that carries products confidently into every channel, marketplace, retailer, and buying experience.

We are building the infrastructure for that next movement: connected, enriched, governed, and ready for every place commerce is headed.

130 BCE

The Silk Road.

Goods moved between empires.

1488

The Sea Routes.

Cargo moved between continents.

1956

The Supply Chain.

Volume moved between facilities.

Now

The new path is data.

nutrād moves product truth wherever commerce needs it to go.

Our Mission
"Product data should move as intelligently as commerce itself."

Every company with complex products is being asked to move faster across more channels, richer buying experiences, and more demanding commercial relationships. Product data is the path that makes that movement possible.

nutrād is building the Intelligent Product Data Fabric™ for what comes next: product data that can connect, enrich, govern, execute, and adapt wherever commerce needs it to go.

We believe product data should be commercially ready for every team, channel, and buyer that depends on it — without forcing every company into the same architecture or the same starting point.

Defining the category
Product Data Orchestration is the category nutrād defines. The intelligence layer between your ERP and your commercial channels that didn't exist before.
Built for every product data starting point
Whether your product data lives in ERP and spreadsheets, inside a fully implemented PIM, or across a mix of portals, files, and partner systems, nutrād adds the orchestration layer that connects, validates, enriches, and moves it wherever it needs to go.
Built on Databricks
The entire Intelligent Product Data Fabric™ runs on the Databricks data lakehouse architecture. Enterprise-grade security, unlimited scale, and the ability to meet your data where it already lives.
The Name

Two of the oldest words in commerce.

nutrād carries the idea that commerce has always depended on movement: from source to path, from origin to destination, from what exists now to what comes next.

nu
The Source

Old Norse for now. In Egyptian cosmogony, the primordial waters from which all ordered creation emerges. Across traditions, nu names the source.

+
trad
The Path

Proto-Germanic *trado. Old English tred, tr?d. A path. A track. The way merchants took. Trade, in its first meaning, was the way.

Together :: the new path.

nutrād is pronounced “new trade.” The macron a marks precision, care, and the detail required to move product data with confidence.

Category Education
Product Data Orchestration is the layer modern commerce was missing.

Every organization that sells physical products through a complex channel stack faces the same problem: product data lives in too many places, in too many formats, governed by too many different people.

ERP handles the item master. PIM manages the catalog. Syndication distributes content. EDI moves transactions. Each system solves a piece — and none of them solves the layer between them.

That layer is Product Data Orchestration. nutrād connects scattered product information, improves it with AI, validates it against commercial requirements, and moves complete, governed records to every retailer, distributor, marketplace, EDI partner, and commerce system that depends on them.

Governed sourceKnow which product record is trusted, current, and complete.
Continuous validationCheck data against channel, retailer, and commercial requirements before submission.
AI-native enrichmentFill gaps, map taxonomies, resolve conflicts, and preserve lineage.
Commercial executionMove governed records into channels, trading partners, and EDI workflows.
The Distinction

From one-way distribution to governed product data collaboration.

Most product data workflows push records downstream and hope they land correctly. nutrād creates a governed feedback loop between sources, teams, and commercial destinations so requirements, exceptions, and changes can move both ways.

One-Way Distribution
  • Pushes records downstream after the work is done
  • Channel requirements are handled manually
  • Errors surface as rejections, chargebacks, delays, or rework
  • Partner feedback rarely improves the governed record
Governed Collaboration
  • Connects every source to a governed commercial record
  • Validates and enriches data before it moves
  • Structures records for each destination automatically
  • Brings requirements, exceptions, and status signals back into the workflow
Leadership

Built by people who've lived the problem

Every member of the nutrād leadership team has spent a career in the problem we're solving — supply chain, product data, channel commerce, and the infrastructure that connects them.

John Sexton Abrams
CEO

John has spent his career at the intersection of supply chain operations and digital commerce. As VP of Supply Chain at Cardinal Health, he managed one of the most complex product data ecosystems in healthcare distribution. Before that, he led product data infrastructure initiatives at Syndigo/Shotfarm, and earlier in his career was the originator of the Redbox concept at McDonald's — a track record of identifying category-defining moments before the category knows it exists.

Timothy Fives
CTO

Tim built his career at the core of product data transaction standards. At 1WorldSync, he led product strategy for the world's largest GDSN data pool — the infrastructure that governs how product data flows between the largest manufacturers and retailers on earth. He drove 600% revenue growth at Shotfarm as EVP Strategy by productizing the product data exchange that brands and distributors had been struggling with manually.

Michael Mohen
SVP Deep Tech

Michael is one of the most credentialed AI/ML engineers in enterprise software. As Chief Architect at Dell EMC, he designed the technical architecture for 145 products across a 750-person engineering organization. His AI work at NASA and 21 filed patents give nutrād an AI platform engineering authority that no pure-play PIM company can replicate.

Mike Springer
CRO

Mike spent four years as a Global Strategic Account Director at a leading PIM platform, managing Fortune 500 accounts and seeing — from the inside — exactly what PIM platforms couldn't do for manufacturers and distributors. Before his PIM platform role, he served as Chief Executive Relations at Philips, where he owned nine-figure revenue relationships at the board level. Mike sells at the altitude where the commercial decision gets made.

Strategic Partnership
"Built on Databricks. Not bolted onto it."

nutrād is a Databricks Built-On Partner — which means the Intelligent Product Data Fabric™ was designed from the ground up to run on the Databricks data lakehouse architecture, not retrofitted to integrate with it after the fact.

This distinction matters. When your product data lives in the Databricks lakehouse, your entire data team can query it alongside your transactional and operational data. Your existing Snowflake and dbt investments work alongside nutrād, not around it.

What Built-On Means
  • Databricks Built-On Partner — executive-level relationship, co-sell motion available
  • Full product data fabric runs on Databricks lakehouse architecture
  • Product intelligence data queryable alongside operational and transactional data
  • Enterprise-grade security and compliance inherited from the architecture
  • Unlimited scale from Day 1 — 1K or 1M SKUs, no re-architecture required
How We Operate

The principles that guide every decision at nutrād

Proof before commitment
We show you value on your own data before you sign anything.
Specificity over abstraction
We talk about your ERP, your SKUs, your retailer's schema. The business outcome comes first.
Time-to-value, not time-to-implement
Legacy PIM platforms measure deployment in months. nutrād measures value in 48 hours.
Works with the systems you already have
nutrād does not require every company to start from the same architecture. It operates across ERP, PIM, spreadsheets, DAM, syndication, EDI, and partner portals so product data can become commerce-ready without waiting for a full platform rebuild.
Precision in everything
From the macron a in our name to the lineage record on every enriched attribute. Precision is how trust is built.
Category creation, not category competition
We're not trying to out-PIM a PIM platform. We're building the category they don't occupy.
Talk to nutrād

The fastest way to understand nutrād is to see it on your data
