Taxonomy Automation

Stop fighting category drift.
Start scaling your taxonomy.

Precise Categorization

Analyzes product titles, specs, and labels to assign categories using semantic understanding, not just keywords.

Automatic Drift Resolution

Detects and resolves overlapping hierarchies, missing branches, and misclassified products in real-time.

Self-Healing Structure

Continuously updates as new suppliers and products emerge, keeping your taxonomy fresh without manual intervention.

How It Works

We build taxonomy from both directions, then reconcile them into a structure that serves both brand strategy and actual inventory.

1
Top-Down

Strategic Guardrails

Using your existing taxonomy, brand goals, and marketing strategy as context, AI defines high-level categories (L1/L2) that map to buyer journeys and how customers actually navigate your site.

2
Bottom-Up

Tactical Foundation

Lower-level categories (L2/L3) are generated through a multi-phase agentic pipeline:

  • Enrich thin product data with AI
  • Cluster similar products into L3s
  • Tune based on performance signals
  • Group into data-driven L2s
3
Synthesis

Reconciliation

Strategic L2s merge with data-driven L2s. This forces the middle layer to satisfy marketing strategy without ignoring actual inventory, ensuring the structure delivers on brand promise while reflecting products available.
