Where things stood
Manual data entry was slow and error-prone, with specifications scattered across multilingual manuals — some over 1,000 pages — plus datasheets and manufacturer sites. Different product categories needed different attribute schemas, and configurable products added further complexity, with some centrifuges supporting 18–20 rotor options.
What changed
Claro runs as a document-first workflow above the distributor's existing Odoo system: extracting technical specifications from documents, matching them to the correct product, applying category-specific schemas of 15–30 core attributes, validating confidence and provenance, and preparing structured records for review before export to Odoo as XML, HTML or spreadsheets.
What it looks like today
A repeatable workflow from unstructured technical documentation to usable catalog records.
Roughly 600 products managed today across 29 categories and 170 subcategories, with growth expected to 1,000–1,200 products.
Every extracted value carries a source and confidence score, with uncertain values routed to review instead of auto-publishing.
For technical distribution, enrichment is valuable only when the resulting attributes can be trusted.
