The Challenge
The retailer's omnichannel expansion was stalled by catalog quality. Sixty-one percent of SKUs had incomplete attribute sets, inconsistent descriptions across POS and supplier feeds, and no SEO-optimized copy for the e-commerce launch. Manual enrichment at current resource levels projected a 14-week preparation timeline — unacceptable against a competitive launch window. Third-party enrichment vendors quoted $8.40 per SKU with no ongoing automation.
The Intervention
Vizion AI built an end-to-end enrichment pipeline: supplier data ingestion from EDI and CSV feeds, structured attribute extraction, LLM-driven description generation calibrated to brand voice, compliance validation against channel-specific schemas, and automated PIM sync. The pipeline runs on a nightly schedule, processing new and updated SKUs without manual intervention. Product pages are generated with structured data markup for search discoverability.
