Challenge  

The extensive product range at Fabory necessitates a meticulous classification system paired with detailed documentation. A well-defined category hierarchy and effective classification methods are essential to uphold Fabory’s global leadership in the market. This initiative requires robust controls and data uniformity. To achieve this, Fabory sought tooling that would not only aid in establishing a data model and essential quality standards but also facilitate data cleansing according to those standards. Fabory turned to Squadra Machine Learning Company for this tooling.

Solution  

Squadra Machine Learning Company specializes in Smart Product Data Management and AI-Commerce. Using the software services from powersuite.ai  , Squadra MLC is focused on refining product data. With their expertise and foundational software components from powersuite.ai  , Squadra MLC can assist Fabory in clustering, classifying, and ensuring the quality of data to create a solution tailored to their needs. The tool developed by Squadra suggests a suitable category framework and enhances features within those categories.

The solution’s primary function will be to recommend product categorization and classification based on Fabory’s existing data from flat files, allowing users to accept or reject these recommendations while learning from their feedback to optimize future suggestions. Additionally, the tool must recommend data cleanup and normalization procedures, offering options to reverse actions or implement them repeatedly. Fabory emphasizes that while it desires suggestions, it retains control over the process and will not permit any actions to be executed without human consent.

Result  

Squadra has equipped Fabory with tools that support an in-depth classification system alongside a thorough documentation framework. This refined category structure streamlines both internal and external operations. This enhancement applies to the data provided as well as the product showcase on the webshop. With clearer product information, customers can more efficiently navigate their journey, arriving at their desired products more swiftly.
