Product classification

Classify Products into the Right Catalog Structure

Supplier categories are built for the supplier. Your catalog has its own structure.

ENRIVAQ is designed to use available product information — titles, identifiers and technical attributes — to map products into the categories required by the target catalog.

Where classification is uncertain, the record should remain reviewable instead of being silently forced into the wrong category.

01
Classification problem

Supplier categories rarely match your catalog one to one

One supplier may use one category path, another supplier may describe the same product type differently, while your catalog follows its own structure. Importing supplier categories directly can create duplicate branches, inconsistent navigation, incorrect attribute sets and weak filters.

Supplier AAgricultural Components → Bearings
Supplier BMachine Parts → Rotation Parts
Supplier CBroad spare-parts label

NOT COPY
Customer-defined canonical taxonomy

One controlled structure

Agricultural Machinery→Seeding Equipment→Fan Impellers

Classification provides a mapping layer between source data and the canonical taxonomy. The target path must come from the customer.

02
Input signals

Use more than the supplier category name

Classification can use available product context such as title, manufacturer, identifiers and technical attributes. The exact set of signals depends on what information exists in the product record.

Classification should follow product evidence, not category text alone.

Supplier labels are useful context, but they should not automatically become the canonical category.

03
Mapping

Map products into the taxonomy your business has defined

The target is not an AI-generated category tree. It is the canonical taxonomy used by the customer. The product can then inherit the correct attribute family, validation requirements, ecommerce structure and downstream content rules.

Source categoryAS FOUND
“Agricultural Components → Bearings”

Useful source context, but it is not accepted as the customer’s final catalog classification.

Uncertain classification should remain uncertain

Some products fit clearly into one category. Others may share similar titles or attributes across several branches.

Where the implemented product supports confidence or review states, uncertain mappings should be flagged.

Agriculture example

Classification for agricultural spare parts

Use a real agricultural catalog example here. A broad supplier label is not useful enough for a structured catalog; the real target taxonomy must be supplied before publication.

Bulk workflow

Classification becomes valuable at catalog scale

Manual category mapping can be manageable for tens of products. It becomes repetitive when supplier catalogs contain thousands of records. A classification workflow allows the same target taxonomy and rules to be applied repeatedly while uncertain products are separated for review.
