Systems & Workflow
Identify which systems will store and receive the product content. In our experience, our clients typically utilize the content in the following systems.
- Database
- PIM / DAM
- Ecommerce platform
- Search engine
You will receive a feed with all available data components that will be loaded into your database. Then the data would need to be transformed for publication on your website.
The feed is a zipped file named download.zip that contains multiple tab-delimited text files with the data components.

Faceted Search – Searchable Attributes enable faceted search functionality and custom sub-categorization of products for easy filtering. Customers specify product characteristics that narrows product’s choice. When correctly
implemented, faceted search should never return an empty search result.
Natural Search – Searchable Attributes are ideal building blocks for both natural language and parametric search. The Searchable Attributes provide a powerful basis for natural language search because the result set only includes
products that contain the specified attribute or value. Compared to typical natural language searches that scan marketing texts, attribute-based searches have higher relevancy.
