The challenge.

  • Vast product catalog

    Sonepar Germany faced the challenge of managing a vast product catalog containing approximately 1 million items. With such a large inventory, it became crucial to ensure that each product was easily discoverable by potential customers, particularly through search engines like Google.

  • SEO and unique product descriptions

    To enhance online visibility, Sonepar needed to comply with stringent SEO guidelines, which required each product to have a unique and compelling description. This was essential to improve search rankings and attract customers, but the scale of the task presented significant challenges.

  • Manual data entry constraints

    Manually creating detailed descriptions for every product was not feasible due to the sheer volume of items and time constraints. Recognizing this, Sonepar sought an innovative solution to automate the generation of marketing texts based on the unique properties of each product.
