Logistics Product Data Store (LPDS)

The Logistics Product Data Store (LPDS) is the Army's central repository for Logistics Product Data (LPD). The LPDS provides for storing, viewing, and analyzing of the Integrated Product Support (IPS) data required to fully support systems throughout the Life Cycle. According to the US Army Logistics Data Analysis Center (LDAC), the owners of the LPDS:

What is LPDS?

• The Army’s Central Logistics Product Data (LPD) Repository
  
• Stores data and makes it available through the Logistics Information Warehouse (LIW)
  
• Allows for storing, viewing, and analyzing of LPD
  
• Will feed Army ERP systems
  
• Fills gap from production to sustainment, giving the Army a cradle-to-grave view
  
• Enables synchronization of ASA(ALT)/PM, and AMC LCMC activities
