What it is
Managed Product Data is a library of photo and video products built and maintained by dakis, ready to sell on your webstore. Records cover cameras, lenses, drones, printers and consumables, professional studio gear, frames, and accessories. Product information comes directly from manufacturers and flows into your account, ready to activate and sell at your own pricing.

- Set your own pricing, sales, and which products you list.
Why dakis
ddakis works directly with manufacturer reps and product teams to build records that include product images, video, names, specifications, descriptions, California Prop 65 safety warnings, and identifiers such as UPC, MPN, and EAN. A dedicated team adds new products every day and corrects records as manufacturers update them.
When a retailer requests a product that is not yet in the catalog, it is built once and made available to every dakis retailer. The catalog grows with the industry rather than behind it.
To launch a full inventory, export your products from your existing system with UPCs, SKUs, and prices, and run the file through the activation wizard. Products are matched on UPC and go live with your pricing and any sale pricing already applied. Adding products one at a time is best for small updates.

Frequently asked questions
What is in a Managed Product Data record?
Product images, video, names, specifications, descriptions, California Prop 65 safety warnings, and identifiers such as UPC, MPN, and EAN. Everything comes from the manufacturer.
What happens when a product is not in the catalog?
You request it and dakis builds the record, then makes it available to every dakis retailer. New products are added daily, including major releases as they are announced.
Does dakis set my prices?
No. dakis supplies the product information. Pricing, sales, and which products you list are yours.
How do I get my existing inventory activated?
Export your products with UPCs, SKUs, and prices, and run the file through the activation wizard. Products are matched on UPC and go live with your pricing already applied.
Which bundle do I need?
Bundles are based on the types of products you sell, from a photo lab bundle through to full photographic and electronics coverage.
Can I use dakis product data in my own website or systems?
