AI catalog management software: what to keep, renegotiate and add
What to keep, what to renegotiate, what to add.
A distributor’s catalog grows more easily than it gets pruned. Products that were ordered once come in, others stop turning and supplier prices move without anyone checking what each item costs to buy. What to keep, what to renegotiate and what to add gets decided out of habit, with data scattered across the ERP, supplier spreadsheets and whatever shows up in competitors’ stores.
The nBlock Catalog block matches sales, stock and supplier price lists and, for each SKU, works out what to do: keep it, renegotiate it, drop it or add it. It also tracks competitor prices in their online stores and measures the quality of your catalog. It works on the data you already have, without replacing your ERP.
Challenge
The catalog keeps growing and never gets pruned: you do not know which SKU to keep, which to renegotiate with the supplier or where you stand against the competition.
Solution
It crosses sales, stock and supplier price lists to decide, per SKU, what to keep, renegotiate, drop or add, with competitor prices tracked and catalog quality measured.
Impact
A tidier catalog, with every decision backed by data.
- Keep, renegotiate, drop or add, per SKU
- Competitor prices tracked
- Catalog quality measured
How it works on your ERP
- Step 1
Gathers your data
It takes the sales, prices and costs, stock and purchases you already have, together with your suppliers’ price lists.
- Step 2
Matches sales, stock and costs per SKU
It looks at each product with the full context: how much it sells, what margin it leaves, how much stock it has and what you pay for it today.
- Step 3
Sets a decision per SKU
For each SKU it says whether to keep it, renegotiate it with the supplier, drop it or add it to the catalog.
- Step 4
Compares with competitors and measures quality
It tracks competitor prices in their online stores and puts them next to yours. It also measures catalog quality, so you can see where to tidy up.
Where it is used
Renegotiate with the supplier, numbers in hand
A product sells well but its purchase cost went up. The block flags it for renegotiation, with sales and stock in view, before the next purchase.
Prune and add with the same criteria
Products that barely turn are flagged as drop candidates and additions are weighed against the same data, not by a supplier’s or a rep’s insistence.
Your prices against the competition
See which products you price above or below what competitors’ online stores publish, so you decide with data and not by reflex.
Frequently asked questions
Is it an assistant that answers product questions?
No. This block does not handle inquiries: it analyzes the catalog. It matches sales, stock and supplier lists to decide what to keep, renegotiate, drop or add, measures catalog quality and tracks competitor prices.
What data does it need?
Sales, prices and costs, stock and purchases, plus your suppliers’ price lists. These are data you already handle in your operation.
Where do the competitor prices come from?
From competitors’ online stores, where the block tracks prices to compare them with yours.
Do I have to change ERP?
No. The block works on the data you already have and does not replace your ERP: it adds the layer that matches sales, stock and costs to decide on the catalog.
