First tidy up, then automate
To organise product data you define a common structure: the same fields, with the same meaning, for every item. Only then can the system compose price lists and sheets without manual intervention.
The work covers consistent names, mandatory fields, filling-in rules and an owner for each piece of information. We carry it out in Cantù, in the province of Como, together with your sales and technical offices.
What to tidy up first
A practical starting point, to be adapted to your catalogue.
Product attributes are the characteristics that describe an item, such as sizes, materials, colours or performance. They are structured in separate fields, with a clear name, value type and unit of measure, so the same data is reused in price lists, sheets and website filters. We gladly discuss this with companies in Como and Brianza.
To manage variants, sizes and finishes you describe a base item and link the options that vary it. Each combination inherits the common data and adds only what changes, with a unique code. The price list stays orderly and changes propagate to all variants: this is the method we follow in Cantù, in the province of Como.
To link images and technical drawings to products, each file is associated with the item code and a precise role: main photo, detail or drawing. With a single archive and clear naming rules the system picks the right file. Product photos can be produced by our studio in Cantù.
The chapters of a catalogue follow the way customers look for products: by family, line or use. If categories and classifications are defined in the data, chapters and indexes are built automatically, including for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan with growing ranges.
AI can help with missing product data only as a suggestion: it flags empty fields, proposes descriptive texts and standardises wording. Every technical data point, however, must be confirmed by the technical office before it enters a price list, including for companies between Milan and Lugano.
