Automated consolidation of product assortments

For example, you receive data deliveries from manufacturers that contain long texts for the products. These long texts are named by the manufacturer with an ID, often ‘LT1’ or similar. However, several manufacturers now call their long texts ‘LT1’. This means that the ID is no longer unique and complications arise when summarising the data. Due to the lack of standardisation, you have to check each data delivery individually and adjust it manually. This process is not only time-consuming, but also cost-intensive and harbours the risk of incorrect data in your assortment.

With Assortment Integration in your XS Cloud, you have the option of automatically merging these partial assortments from the manufacturers into an overall assortment. There is no need to manually check and adjust data content and IDs, as the intelligent module is based on individually configurable rules. For example, you can specify whether duplicate IDs - such as the ID ‘LT1’ in the example above - should be overwritten, duplicated or assigned a new ID.

• Reduce effort and error potential: By using assortment integration, you not only save valuable time and resources, but also minimise the risk of data errors.
