Smarter, Faster, and Easier Product Data Management [Product Updates]

At Gepard, we’re on a mission to make product information management as seamless as possible—so you can focus on growing your business, not wrestling with data. And guess what? Our latest update is here!

We’ve rolled out major improvements in AI-powered automation, bulk actions, compliance tools, and data extraction. Let’s dive into what’s new and, most importantly, how it helps you save time, reduce errors, and boost efficiency.

#1. AI-Powered Product Mapping Just Got Smarter

The AI-based one-to-one mapping feature now delivers significantly higher accuracy, reducing the need for manual adjustments. We have enhanced the system to handle complex rule mapping, which allows multi-attribute conversions with minimal human intervention. To achieve this, we fine-tuned our AI models, ensuring that mapping suggestions are now more precise, aiming for a 90% accuracy rate.

Additionally, we have introduced a new feature that simplifies the mapping process with a single action. A new UI update includes a “magic button” that allows users to perform instant mapping without navigating multiple settings.

• How Does It Help?

This update eliminates tedious, manual mapping work and reduces errors. Brands and retailers can quickly align their product data across multiple platforms, while marketplaces and PIM users benefit from faster and more accurate taxonomy mapping.

#2. Bulk Deactivation and Activation for Products

Managing large inventories can be time-consuming, especially when products need to be removed or reactivated in bulk. To address this, we introduced a bulk deactivation and activation feature. Users can now deactivate multiple products in one step, which is particularly useful for managing discontinued or out-of-stock items.

Similarly, bulk activation allows users to restore multiple products at once. The system also ensures that deactivated products are automatically prevented from being sent to marketplaces, reducing the risk of listing outdated or unavailable products.

• How Does It Help?

Retailers and marketplace sellers can now quickly manage their product listings without having to go through them one by one. This feature significantly reduces time spent on inventory updates and minimizes errors in product availability.

#3. Improved Content Versioning and Localization

Keeping track of different content versions and managing localized product data has always been a challenge. The new update simplifies content version tracking by allowing users to easily see which version of product data is currently in use. This update also includes better marketplace-specific content control, meaning users can now select different versions of content for different sales channels.

Additionally, taxonomy localization has been improved, making it easier to manage translations directly within the system. Instead of manually adjusting each language version, users can now handle content localization more efficiently.

• How Does It Help?

This update ensures that global brands maintain accurate and region-specific product data while reducing the risk of errors caused by outdated or mismatched content. Compliance teams gain better oversight of content history, while marketplace sellers can adapt their listings according to platform-specific requirements.

#4. Smarter and Faster Product Exports

Exporting product data has been optimized to support more industries, including apparel. The apparel-specific export function is now integrated into the standard export flow, allowing users to generate product data in a structured format that aligns with marketplace requirements.

The export process is now more flexible, enabling users to select specific content versions for export. Additionally, various performance improvements have made the system faster and more reliable, particularly when handling large datasets.

• How Does It Help?

Fashion and lifestyle brands can now efficiently format product data for different marketplaces without additional manual adjustments. eCommerce sellers benefit from quicker exports, leading to faster product listings and increased sales opportunities.

#5. Enhanced Error Handling and AI-Powered Fixes

To improve error resolution, we have introduced clickable error notifications that take users directly to the issue within the interface. This removes the need to manually search for problems in large product catalogs.

Additionally, AI-generated fix suggestions help users resolve common issues quickly. Instead of guessing the best way to correct an error, users receive actionable recommendations. The system also now provides clearer error logs with detailed explanations.

• How Does It Help?

Users can now fix errors faster, reducing the time spent on troubleshooting. Operations teams can resolve product data issues with minimal effort, and developers gain deeper insights into errors for more efficient debugging.

#6. PDF-to-Product Data Extraction

One of the biggest time-consuming tasks in product data management is manually entering information from PDFs. The new AI-powered PDF-to-product data extraction feature automates this process. Users can now upload PDFs, and the system will extract product attributes, descriptions, and images, automatically structuring them into a product listing.

This update also includes auto-categorization, which means products are mapped to the correct taxonomy without manual input. The system can identify key product details and place them in the appropriate categories, significantly reducing setup time.

• How Does It Help?

Suppliers and brands can instantly convert product catalogs into structured data, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Retailers can ensure that product information remains accurate and consistent across all platforms, while marketplaces benefit from better data quality and organization.
