In the dynamic realm of e-commerce, standing out amidst the competition requires more than just a visually appealing website – it demands comprehensive product data that resonates with your customers. Fozzels, your trusted partner in product description generation, is proud to introduce a groundbreaking solution: automatically “read” your product images, and get product keywords (often called attributes) using OpenAI’s GPT-4-Vision. Let’s delve into how Fozzels, powered by GPT-4-Vision, can revolutionize your data enrichment strategy and propel your online store to new heights.
Attributes?
Product attributes are a set of characteristics that define a particular product. Attributes include size, color, product type, price and other features relevant to the product. These e-commerce product attributes majorly influence the purchase decision of the consumers.
Is this important? Yes. An ecommerce study by Nielsen Norman Group says that 20% of purchase failures are potentially a result of missing or unclear ecommerce product attributes or information.
Understanding data enrichment in e-commerce
Data enrichment is the process of enhancing product data with additional attributes to make it more informative and valuable. These attributes could include details like material, color, size, style, and many more specific characteristics that help customers find exactly what they’re looking for.
The problem with missing product attributes
Many times, online sellers use product data which is imported directly from an ERP-system, or supplied directly by a producer or distributor. We have seen in many cases that this data is not sufficient to properly sell the products. We see this especially in the clothing industry. Often, a piece of clothing data only has some “basic” attributes like:
- Size
- Color
- Material
But, if you were able to add specific product traits, you would be able to add these properties to your web store search and/or filtering in your online store. Think of attributes like:
- Shape of neckline
- Sleeve length
- Front pockets
- Zipper or buttons
- Print on the clothing
- Fabric pattern
- Fit (loose, bodyfit)
- Style
- Length
Introducing Fozzels and GPT-4-Vision: the future of data enrichment
GPT-4-Vision is the latest innovation from OpenAI, combining image recognition with natural language processing to revolutionize the way product data is enriched. With Fozzels and GPT-4-Vision, you can automate the process of extracting attributes from product images, saving time and resources while ensuring accuracy and consistency.
Keyword extraction is a text analysis technique that automatically extracts the important keywords and phrases from the product images. It helps in identifying the primary topics of interest of your products.
Did you know that manual tagging consumes more than 30 hours in a week to tag only 200-300 products per day? Manual labelling is erroneous, time-consuming and lacks uniformity. Also, In e-commerce, the process of manually identifying and labelling product attributes is prone to human errors like missing details, spelling mistakes, incorrect category mapping, duplication of information and ambiguous product titles. Managing a catalog like classifying products into categories, identifying attributes and creating titles and descriptions can be a tedious process if done manually, requiring substantial resources and time and causes human fatigue – which can cost your business dearly.
The good news is that automated product tagging using Fozzels and GPT-4-Vision gives you 10x faster product optimization. You get to save significant operational costs with AI-generated tags, titles, and attributes with enriched and consistent product data. Retailers get standardized product information on websites and across selling platforms. So instead of having people manually entering these properties in your ERP or online store, it’s better to use Fozzels to automatically extract the keywords from all your product images and save these as separate property values in your online store.
