Challenge

Manage and deliver product content of 100+ brands

The SSI Group was expanding its business in the emerging e-commerce market in the region. As part of the partnership, SSI Group wanted to publish its products on Zalora, an e-commerce marketplace based in Singapore. Key Challenges- 1. Massive Data Handling: The legacy systems were inefficient & created scalability issues in handling large volumes of product information and related attributes. Having a vast range of products, sorting and sifting through content information became tedious and prone to errors. 2. Managing Cluttered Product Information: Our client faced another issue managing numerous products with related content and assets effectively. Regularly creating new products made it difficult for the team to organize and enrich them. 3. Inaccurate Product Description: SSI's team could not accurately publish product descriptions on the e-commerce marketplace due to disorganized product information. This issue hindered product sales, adversely affecting their growth strategy.
