Plavno developed a commerce data platform for a multi-brand online retailer to centralize catalog information, improve product content consistency, and support scalable merchandising across multiple storefronts and channels.
Overview
The client managed thousands of SKUs across several brands, digital storefronts, and marketplace feeds. Product data was fragmented across spreadsheets, ERP exports, CMS content, and channel-specific tools. The platform created a governed product intelligence layer for catalog management, enrichment, validation, and downstream commerce delivery.
Faster catalog updates and merchandising workflows
Better consistency of product data across brands and channels
Reduced manual effort in maintaining marketplace and storefront feeds
Improved reuse of product content and digital assets
Stronger foundation for personalization, recommendations, and omnichannel commerce growth

The retailer’s product information was spread across too many systems and teams.
Common challenges included:
Fragmented catalog data across brands and tools
Inconsistent product attributes and category mapping
Manual updates to storefront and marketplace feeds
Weak synchronization between ecommerce, merchandising, and content teams
Difficulty reusing product content across channels
As assortment size and sales channels increased, catalog quality became harder to maintain.

The platform needed to:
Centralize product and attribute data across brands
Standardize taxonomy and category logic
Support content enrichment and asset reuse
Integrate with storefronts, marketplaces, and ERP outputs
Provide validation rules for catalog quality and completeness
There were also important constraints:
Each brand had slightly different merchandising logic
Source systems could not be replaced immediately
Product data quality varied significantly across categories
The solution had to support future personalization and recommendation use cases
