Product descriptions from supplier data
Turn supplier spreadsheets and spec sheets into consistent product descriptions and attributes in your own style, so a merchandiser approves new listings instead of writing each one from scratch.
Where it starts
The trigger.
A supplier sends new or updated product data.
How it runs today
- Merchandisers rewrite supplier copy by hand, one product at a time.
- Attributes are missing or inconsistent, so filters and search miss products.
- New products wait days before they can be listed.
The workflow
Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
- 01 / Collect
Read supplier spreadsheets, spec sheets and existing catalogue entries from approved sources.
- 02 / Normalize
Map supplier fields to your attribute list and flag anything missing or unclear.
- 03 / Draft
Draft titles, descriptions and attributes in your style guide, using only facts from the supplier data.
- 04 / Approve
A merchandiser edits and approves each listing before it is published.
Where people stay in control
Approval points.
- A merchandiser approves every listing before it is published.
- Claims about safety, health or performance are checked against the supplier’s documents.
How we would measure it
Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
Time from supplier data to published listing.
Share of drafts approved with light edits.
Listings with complete required attributes.
