With increasingly fast-paced means of production and a simultaneous growth in demand, manual classification might not suffice, especially for businesses distributing volume and variety of SKUs. Auto classification is an effective way of streamlining the onboarding of SKUs, especially when dealing with thousands or millions of new products month on month. It reduces the painstaking manual labor that might otherwise be required for such services, and also helps categorize products more accurately.
This ensures that the product catalog is read and deciphered thoroughly, after which the auto classification tool sorts them intelligently and efficiently into suitable categories. Suppliers that sell a variety of appliances, such as air conditioners, geysers, water purifiers, refrigerators, etc., might have multiple models of each of these. To compile and sort all the product data manually while also keeping it up to date would be a tedious task, which would also warrant errors. Auto classification would classify such data in much less time with a higher accuracy.
This is not to say that manual intervention is not possible. In fact, at times, it is necessary. For instance, the auto classification tool might classify the refrigerators with the ‘Ice Maker’ function, and those with ‘Ice Maker Plus’ function into the same category, when the business requires them to be sorted into different ones. This could be rectified manually, with a human in the loop.
Once such a manual intervention is made, the model learns and incorporates the required changes for the data being categorized further. This helps save time, and increases accuracy as well.
This model functions well with the Taxonomy Management Tool. Both of them result in a refined product catalog which is structured, organized, and up-to-date.
To conclude, using the auto-classification model not only ensures seamless data management, its ripple effect also includes better product visibility. A more streamlined classification into attribution taxonomies leads to an improvement in the accessibility of the product, which in turn would aid user experience, especially on e-Commerce websites, that use powerful Left Hand Navigation filters. For B2B eCommerce businesses, auto-classification becomes not only useful but also crucial to successful and uninterrupted operations.
