Turning 4,000 supplier products from disconnected files into catalog-ready records.

The challenge

Where things stood

Supplier files arrived with inconsistent schemas, incomplete identifiers and differing category structures, with key attributes buried in free text. Onboarding took weeks of manual work, produced duplicate catalog entries, and the decisions behind each one were nearly impossible to reproduce the next time.

How Claro helped

What changed

Claro ingests the spreadsheets, PDFs and price lists, maps fields to a canonical schema, and matches against the existing catalog to separate genuinely new items from duplicates. It enriches missing attributes, normalizes units and terminology, assigns categories, and validates readiness — routing only the exceptions to a human instead of requiring full manual review.

Results

What it looks like today

Roughly 4,000 products turned into structured, reviewable records.

A repeatable workflow that carries over to the next supplier update, instead of being rebuilt from scratch.

Supplier-specific mappings and rules preserved underneath one governed process for the receiving catalog.

What we took from this engagement

A repeatable onboarding workflow allows supplier-specific mappings and rules while preserving one governed process for the receiving catalog.

Claro's conclusion, not a customer statement.
