Let’s begin with how KIBO’s recently released EDI platform enables handling complex, distributed product data.
As a merchant or drop shipper, in the merchant portal, I can see my products that are active in the KIBO catalog.
This product here is still pending because of a price update, but let’s have a look at the detailed information.
Here, merchants can change their marketing content, inventory, pricing, and more.
Depending on the EDI workflow configuration, some changes may be subject to approval of the store owner. All of these steps are now performed in the background, so let’s fast forward to how the products are merged into the KIBO catalog.
As any merchandiser knows, simply merging catalogs is only half the battle. Harmonizing attributes, enriching product content, and ensuring data quality is where most platforms fall short.
KIBO’s Merchandiser Agent fills that gap. It uses Gin AI to enrich and harmonize product data. This dramatically reduces manual effort and ensures that every product, regardless of source, blends into a clean, enriched, and harmonized core catalog that empowers merchandisers to focus on strategy and experience, not data wrangling.
