Challenge
Barriers to Progress
The distributor managed approximately 200,000 products with 6 million variants and roughly 90 million associated attributes, creating significant complexity. Legacy infrastructure and inconsistent technical architecture limited scalability and performance. Product data was distributed across multiple tables and applications, with little standardization or automated quality control. Manual correction processes consumed significant resources and introduced delays, increasing risk and limiting ecommerce responsiveness.
- ~200K products with ~6M variants and ~90M attributes
- Constantly changing product catalog
- Legacy infrastructure and inconsistent architecture
- Fragmented product data across multiple systems
- Lack of standardized processes for attribute management
- Heavy reliance on manual data correction
