PoC Implementation

PoC Implementation

PDF + Excel Integration

PDF + Excel Integration

"We Were Able to Significantly Reduce the Preparation Time and Effort for Launching the Season."

In a paid PoC with a sports apparel brand, we verified an end-to-end flow from multiple formats including PDFs using actual customer data.

Issue

Every Time a New Season Launches, Manual Tasks Recur.

  • Repeated manual merging of Excel and PDF files each season and converting them to channel-compliant formats

  • Lack of attributes, tags, and descriptions posing challenges for e-commerce search and conversion rates

  • Workload concentrated on specific personnel, making it difficult to scale

Result

Manual Merging Work Is Reduced to Zero.

Validated end-to-end flows, including PDF extraction, using real customer data. Significantly reduced preparation hours for season launches.

Approach by PDP

A Comprehensive, End-to-End Process from Structuring to Outputting Multi-Format Data

Extract structured data from Excel and free-format PDFs

Consolidate 2 sources and map to the target schema

Enriching attributes from descriptions, tags, and images

Output as-is in channel-compatible format

HOW TO START

FAQ

We Will Answer Your Questions.

Can this be integrated even if we already have an existing PIM or ERP?

Yes. Lazuli PDP does not "replace" existing PIM or ERP systems; instead, it serves as the preceding layer to "clean up supplier files." It is designed to run in parallel with major systems such as SAP and Akeneo.

How long does the implementation take?

A standard PoC is completed with 1 week for scoping and 2 to 4 weeks for execution. You can see the results with real data in as little as about 1 month. Production implementation will proceed in stages depending on the target scope.

Does it also support industry-specific categories and attributes?

We have already implemented industry ontologies for major categories such as food & beverages, daily necessities, consumer electronics, apparel, and sports equipment. Specific attributes will also be tuned upon agreement during the PoC.

Can we still run operations even with a small number of staff?

Since the operational flow is defined as a pipeline during the design phase, it does not depend on specific individuals. We also offer plans where Lazuli's specialist team will support you from launch through to operational establishment.

How much does it cost?

We will propose pricing based on your requirements, such as a package price for the PoC, and a monthly or pay-as-you-go model for production. First, we will schedule a call to understand your current situation and provide an estimate.

How is the security handled?

With ISMS and PrivacyMark certifications, we meet enterprise-standard security requirements. We also support data encryption, access control, audit logs, and data residency selection.
