E-Commerce Catalogs

Presenting well organized product information in an easy to navigate format is more important than ever to maintain high conversion rates. The WAND Product and Service Taxonomy can help you organize and normalize your product data down to the attribute level of detail by providing any product category needed with a pre-built attribute template. WAND can continue to manage the taxonomy for you on an ongoing basis to ensure attribute and category information always reflects the latest product information.

Product data from a variety of sources can be pushed into the WAND Taxonomy format where it will be normalized and organized for easy use. WAND can help you develop a custom front end product catalog interface. The front end catalog category structure can be changed to reflect the changing seasonal demands of your customers or to highlight particularly popular categories. All the while, the core product data remains well organized in your warehouse taxonomy. This affords the most flexibility for product merchandising.

If you have a physical store presence and product inventory, the WAND product taxonomy can be used to normalize that product information as well to enable global visibility over both online and offline sales data.

Advantages of a structured product catalog taxonomy include:

* Enable faceted product search
* More flexible product merchandising
* Enhance search engine marketing for every category
* Easy integration with comparison shopping engines
* Global reporting framework to better understand product sales

Enterprise Search

Ineffective enterprise search may be costing companies $5,000 per employee each year in wasted time.

Enterprise documents are disorganized across a wide variety of systems and difficult to find. Further, there is no common nomenclature upon which employees can rely on to find documents and to electronically file newly created documents.

The problem can be simply described: How does an enterprise tag content in a way that it can easily be found in search.

Basic keyword search doesn’t solve the problem. Keyword search brings back too many results, making it difficult to find the right information.

Taxonomies provide a structure vocabulary for tagging and organizing enterprise information and well as establishing a common enterprise wide vocabulary. Enterprise taxonomies can add guided navigation to search results to help drill down into keyword search results and refine the results for greater relevance. Taxonomy synonyms also allow a worker to search for concepts instead of keywords. For example a search for the keyword “attorney” can also include “lawyer” so complete information about the concept is returned. Simply, taxonomies make information more findable and improve the productivity of knowledge workers.

Building such a vocabulary from scratch is a daunting task. WAND provides a library of robust starter taxonomies to jump-start an enterprise search project. The taxonomies can be customized to include terminology which is specific to a company.

WAND taxonomies cover over 40 subject domains which can be used integrate with the following enterprise search technologies:

* Concept Searching
* KWizCom
* SharepartXXL
* Vivisimo
* Endeca
* Exalead
* FAST
* and many others…
