New products, catalog-ready — without the manual data entry

For a retail or home-goods platform — onboarding products from dozens of suppliers, each in a different format.

A supplier sends a new line of dining chairs: a PDF spec sheet with a photo, a code, and three lines of marketing copy. No dimensions table, no materials, no style tag. That sheet sits in someone's inbox until a merchandiser has time to read it, measure against reference photos, and type the attributes into your system by hand — fifteen minutes per item, longer when the sheet is scanned or badly formatted. Multiply that by every supplier, every season.

One way it plays out

  1. The spec sheet gets read and the obvious fields pulled — code, name, price, supplier — straight off the sheet, whatever format it arrived in.
  2. The missing fields get filled by comparing against your existing catalog — dimensions, material, style — worked out from the description and photo against what's already on your shelves: if forty other chairs tagged "mid-century walnut" share this one's proportions and grain, that's a real signal, not a guess. Each filled field carries a confidence level.
  3. Only the uncertain fields reach a person — high-confidence fields go straight through; anything unsure — a dimension nobody stated, a style with no close match — is routed to a short review queue instead of being written in as fact.

That's one way it plays out — the fields, the categories, and where the record lands get shaped around your catalog.

So a merchandiser opens the queue once a day, sees exactly which fields on which products need a human eye, confirms them in a few clicks, and the finished record goes live — every field traceable back to whether it was auto-filled or human-confirmed.

Works for: product catalog teams, furniture and home-goods retailers, marketplace onboarding, and product-data quality at scale.

Everything stays on servers here in Canada, and once it's built the whole thing is yours to keep — not a subscription, and not tied to anyone's platform. I'm here in Winnipeg: I set it up, and I stay with you and your team until it's running the way you want.
