What Our AI Taxonomy Automation Does

A smarter way to classify, tag, and organize your product catalog—accurately and at scale.

Automatically classifies products at scale

Manual categorization is time-consuming and inconsistent. Our AI accurately places each product into the right category and subcategory based on your taxonomy—instantly and at scale.

Applies accurate product attributes and tags

Missing or inconsistent tags lead to broken filters and poor search experiences. Our AI enriches every product with relevant attributes like material, color, and style to boost discovery and SEO.

Ensures taxonomy consistency across systems

Manual categorization often varies between team members and platforms, leading to inconsistency. Our AI enforces a unified taxonomy across systems—eliminating drift and keeping your catalog clean and aligned.

Listing products on platforms like Amazon or Google can be a formatting headache. Our AI handles the mapping to external schemas, ensuring your products are marketplace-ready with no manual rework.
