Most product data problems don't show up as data problems — they show up as delayed launches, supplier headaches, and e-commerce teams drowning in fixes. In this first episode, Clare and Ben cut through the noise to ask the five questions that expose where your product data operations are actually breaking down.
From manual reformatting at ingestion, to 3,500-entry brand lists nobody can navigate, to the real reason new product launches take forever — this episode is a no-BS audit of where large-catalogue businesses are quietly losing time and money.
Whether you're a distributor, retailer, or marketplace, these five questions will tell you more about the health of your product data ops than any system audit ever could.
The five questions:
- Where does your product data get manually reformatted today?
- Which attributes are always missing or wrong?
- How many versions of the same product exist across your systems?
- What slows product launches more — approvals or fixing data?
- Could you onboard 50 new suppliers this year without hiring?
