29 Aug Product Taxonomy Best Practices—An EDI Perspective
How EDI Software Powers Perfect Product Taxonomies in E-Commerce
Organizing product data is critical for businesses to provide a seamless customer experience. EDI ensures accurate product taxonomies by centralizing data and standardizing categories, attributes, and metadata. Proper hierarchy and naming conventions guide customers intuitively while preventing errors in product classification.
Automation through EDI allows businesses to manage thousands of SKUs across multiple platforms and geographies efficiently. Products can be auto-categorized, redundant categories removed, and consistent metadata applied, ensuring reliable integration with ERP systems such as Infor and Epicor. Allocating products to multiple categories further enhances discoverability and customer navigation.
Regular testing and optimization of taxonomies are essential to maintain alignment with customer behavior. EDI supports flexible, dynamic updates to hierarchies and classifications, enabling businesses to improve conversions, maintain brand consistency, and streamline operations across sales channels.
