Taxonomy & Attribution

• Taxonomy and attribution are essential components of your Ecommerce data model, and a specialty at Allion. Taxonomy is integrated into various business systems, including ERP, PIM, commerce, and search platforms.
  Many Ecommerce owners underestimate the significance of taxonomy and attribution in their strategy, often delegating their management to inexperienced personnel with minimal product knowledge. It’s also common to see these elements treated as projects that can be “completed” rather than ongoing processes requiring continuous testing and refinement.
  In reality, taxonomy and attribution should be regarded as vital business assets, with well-funded and trained management processes. They offer opportunities to create long-term competitive advantages and enhance the search and browsing experience in your digital channels compared to competitors.

Taxonomy & Data Modelling Services

• Defining a product hierarchy, or taxonomy, is a challenging task that requires research, patience, and meticulous attention to detail. Many Ecommerce merchants maintain unique taxonomies for each of their business channels. Allion has extensive expertise in these processes and offers taxonomy and attribution modelling services to some of the largest Ecommerce retailers and distributors in the United States. Our team of experts, supported by our proprietary software, manages large, complex taxonomy and attribution models effectively.

Attribution

• Attribution involves defining attributes (also known as product specifications or properties) for products within the taxonomy. Attributes are defined by their metadata, including a name, data type, minimum length, and other business rules. In the PIM environment, product data is mapped into attributes to be organized and published downstream.
  Creating an effective attribution model is as crucial as defining the taxonomy. It determines how product information is collected, maintained, and presented in a channel. Managing tens or even hundreds of thousands of attributes in retail taxonomies is a significant undertaking that requires expertise and the right tools.

Product Content Creation & Normalization

• High-quality product data is vital for Ecommerce success. It includes basic information like the title, brand, and description, as well as detailed product attributes and digital assets.
