Core attributes

What the product is, stated the same way every time.

Identifiers, brand hierarchy, taxonomy, flavor and form, size, packaging and origin. If you hold product data at scale and need it enabled, this is the layer that makes it usable.

every other core attribute on this pack, read the same way

Read off the listing, the pack photograph and the label panel. Nothing here is an opinion or an estimate, which is why Core attributes hold while the other layers can move. Illustrative, invented brand.

What Core attributes are built from

To create Core attributes, we read what a product publishes about itself and code it against a maintained catalog.

Product pages
across sources

Titles, descriptions, category paths and whatever structured data a source already carries. The same product arrives in different formats under different identifiers, so the first job is to resolve them to one UPC.

Pack images
front, back and panel

Images carry what the text leaves out. This is where form, net contents and pack count stay right even when a listing abbreviates them or omits them altogether.

The attribute catalog
definitions and taxonomies

Every Core field has a definition and a set of canonical values it can take. Strawberry flavored, made with real strawberries and strawberry burst all record as Strawberry, so the same product reads the same way whichever source it came from.

Where Core does the work

Core is the layer that makes everything else countable. It matters most to the teams holding product data at scale, and to the reports that have to add up.

01

Data and Measurement Providers

You hold product data at scale and need it enabled. Core turns a pile of listings and identifiers into attributed products your own customers can query, in one taxonomy.

02

Reporting and Analytics

The most basic read starts here. Brand, manufacturer, category, pack size and form are what a sales number gets grouped by before anyone asks a harder question.

03

Digital and E-commerce

You fill the PDP fields that site search and shopping agents read, from the same attributes the rest of the business reports on.

Three layers of attributes

Core is what the product is. Contextual is what the market says about it. Custom is what you decide to call it.

One product, one key0 99999 12345 7

Every attribute hangs off the same UPC. Add the three layers up and you have the product described in full, with nothing counted twice.

Core

listing, pack and labelyou are here

What the product is. Identifiers, brand hierarchy, taxonomy, size and multipack, packaging, origin and titles. True whether or not anyone ever buys it.

Answers

What is this product, and which of my SKUs match it?

Contextual

listings and reviews

What the market says about it. Claims as they are published, benefits, occasions, audiences, taste and texture, and the words shoppers use. Attributes keep arriving because the market keeps describing the product.

Answers

Why are people buying this, and what is rising?

Custom

your definitions

The structure you set. Your demand spaces, your thresholds, your naming and your own taxonomy, applied to every UPC in scope the same way.

Answers

Which products count, by the definition you set?

Four ways to take delivery

Pick the one that fits where the work happens. The attributes underneath are identical.

Attribute feeds

The attributes delivered into your stack as a flat file, an API or a warehouse share. They join to your sales data on the UPC, so the category rolls up the same way in every system that reads it.
