Every new supplier sends product data in their own format — Excel with different column names, PDFs, zip files of images, and informal descriptions. Someone on your team has to parse each file, normalize the fields, check for duplicates, map to Amazon and Shopify schemas, and manually enter the data. At 20–30 minutes per SKU, onboarding a supplier with 3,000 products is a multi-month project. Meanwhile your catalog falls behind your competitors'. The solution ## Send the files. We handle the catalog work. You send us whatever your suppliers provide: Excel, CSV, PDF, image zips, or system exports. We extract and normalize every field, cross-reference your existing catalog to block duplicates, enrich missing attributes, map each record to Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, and Google schemas, then push approved SKUs into your ERP and ecommerce platforms. You review the roughly 6% that need a human decision. We handle the rest. 10s Per SKU processed 94% Auto-resolved without human review 50+ Supplier file formats handled 4x Channels mapped from one normalized record How it works ## How Logistify delivers the work 01 ### Supplier sends files in any format A supplier emails Excel price lists, PDFs, image zips, or CSV exports. The agent receives all formats automatically. No template required, no reformatting needed on the supplier's side.

Capabilities ## What's included in the service Multi-source ingestion ### Every supplier format, handled automatically. Suppliers send data in their own format: Excel, CSV, PDF, website export, or a mix of all four. Logistify reads whatever arrives without requiring templates or column mappings. If the file has product data in it, the agent finds it. Supported input formats All parsed automatically · no templates required - Excel / CSV Column mapping auto-detected Active - PDF Catalogs Tables & free-text extracted Active - Product Images Attributes read from image AI Active - Supplier Sites Scraped & structured daily Active - ERP exports QBXML, CSV, REST API Active 50+ supplier data formats handled · no setup templates required Duplicate detection ### One canonical SKU, no matter how many suppliers carry it. When two suppliers send the same product under different part numbers and names, the agent detects the match using UPC, description similarity, and attribute overlap. Duplicates are merged, not doubled, so your catalog stays clean even as your supplier base grows.
