Before vs. after

Before — manual process

4.5 hours per supplier update

1
Open supplier spreadsheet, scan rows for new or changed products
2
Write product titles, descriptions, and feature lists by hand for each SKU
3
Manually assign categories, attributes, and metadata
4
Copy-paste each product into CMS, format images, set prices
5
Translate to second language (NL/FR/EN), proofread
6
Preview each product page, fix layout issues, publish one by one

~4.5 hours / ~35 products

After — agent workflow

25 minutes per supplier update

1
Upload supplier sheet — agent parses, validates, and maps fields automatically
2
Agent drafts titles, descriptions, SEO metadata with your brand voice
3
Auto-categorization with confidence scores — flags uncertain items
4
Translations generated in all configured languages simultaneously
5
You review the batch in a staging view — approve, edit, or reject
6
One-click publish to CMS with full audit log

~25 min / ~35 products

What the agent actually does

📥

Parse & validate input

Agent reads the supplier file, detects the format (CSV, XLSX, API), maps columns to your product schema, and flags missing or malformed data.

supplier_sheet.xlsx → 47 rows parsed, 35 new products, 12 updates, 0 errors

✏️

Generate product content

For each product, agent drafts a title (SEO-optimized), description (matching your brand guidelines), feature bullet points, and meta description.

Input: "BLX-4200 Industrial Cleaner 5L" → Output: title, 150-word description, 5 features, meta desc, category suggestion

🏷️

Categorize & enrich metadata

Auto-assigns categories, tags, and attributes based on your existing taxonomy. Shows confidence score — items below threshold are flagged for manual review.

Category: Cleaning > Industrial > Solvents (confidence: 94%) | Tags: industrial, 5L, concentrate

🌐

Translate

Generates translations for all configured languages (NL, FR, EN, DE) simultaneously, respecting terminology glossaries you define.

NL: "Industrieel Reinigingsmiddel 5L" | FR: "Nettoyant Industriel 5L" | Glossary matches: 3

👁️

Stage for review

All generated content is placed in a staging queue. You see a side-by-side view of supplier input vs. generated output. Approve, edit inline, or reject — nothing publishes without your sign-off.

Staging batch #2026-04-03-supplier-A: 35 products ready for review | 2 flagged (low confidence)
