Data2Text automation for retail

All automated: From the product description to the price tags on the shelf

Product titles, price tags on the shelf or in-store advertising - retailers need different product texts with different requirements in different places. With the opportunities offered by Data2Text automation, all text types can be automated and automatically updated.

Retail challenges

Product texts for all SKUs in all variants and languages fully under control

The shortest text can become the biggest bottleneck: Not only are the various pieces of text required for a product largely written and (perhaps) localised manually, but they are also created in different parts of the organisation and within different systems (from PIM, ERP to PoS or logistics systems).

A seemingly trivial task becomes a bottomless pit. 

Data2Text automation enables the automated creation and update of accurate and consistent product texts across all SKUs, required variants and languages. A previously unmanageable amount of work becomes a feasible task that can be scaled to achieve the desired level of quality
