Arlington Heights, Ill. (March 8, 2016)

Carlson Labs, a 50-year leader, innovator, and educator in the field of high-quality nutritional supplements joins the IX-ONE product data and images exchange as its first direct supplier founding member.

Carlson products will be photographed, weighed, and measured and will have their attributes captured within the IX-ONE exchange. This equips retailers with all of the data and images they need to buy, merchandise, market, and sell their products.

“IX-ONE is exactly the solution we, and the natural products industry, so desperately needed,” says Carlson Marketing Manager Jared Thorson. “Consistent product data and images shared throughout our entire supply chain will produce significant efficiencies as well as better equip our retailers to market and merchandise our products.”

Carlson is excited to be a founding member of IX-ONE and on their advisory council. Carlson is known for their unwavering devotion to quality and standards—two attributes IX-ONE highly values.
