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.

Let’s Build Your Solution

Overview

Key Metrics & Impact

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

<span>Key Metrics</span> & Impact
01

Problem

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.

Problem
02

Challenge

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
