Catalog Processing Services
Your product catalog needs organizing, standardizing, and importing into your ecommerce platform - but the data sits in PDFs, print catalogs, supplier spreadsheets, and legacy systems that don’t talk to each other. Acelerar’s catalog processing team transforms raw product data from any source into structured, platform-ready listings.
Catalog Processing
What is catalog processing?
Catalog processing is the work of converting raw product information from any source - print catalogs, supplier PDFs, manufacturer spreadsheets, legacy databases, or even competitor websites - into structured, standardized product data ready for your ecommerce platform. This involves extracting product details (titles, descriptions, specifications, pricing, images), organizing them into consistent categories and attribute schemas, validating accuracy against source materials, and formatting everything for import into Shopify, Magento, Amazon, or whatever platform you sell on. For businesses adding product lines from new suppliers or migrating from manual processes, catalog processing eliminates the bottleneck between sourcing products and selling them.

Print catalogs, scanned PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, XML feeds, legacy database exports, Word documents, or even product photos with text. We extract and structure product data from whatever source material you have available.

Processed catalog data is formatted specifically for your target platform: Shopify CSV, Magento import templates, Amazon flat files, WooCommerce product feeds, or any custom format. Upload-ready from the moment we deliver.

99.5% Accuracy SLA
Every processed record goes through automated validation and manual QA review. Pricing, SKUs, specifications, and image associations are verified against source material before delivery.
