Smarter product data for electrical brands, distributors, and retailers

From wiring accessories to lighting and switchgear, we help electrical businesses structure, enrich, and onboard the complex technical data that powers your product catalogue and digital operations.

The Common Challenges

Managing product data in the electrical sector involves high complexity, standards, and SKU volumes:

Technical Complexity

Product specs are highly technical, requiring precise details like voltage, current rating, IP ratings, and material compliance.

Multiple Standards & Classifications

ETIM, UNSPSC, GS1, and regional standards must be supported for syndication and compatibility.

Inconsistent Supplier Data

Data from manufacturers and suppliers comes in varied formats — Excel, PDFs, legacy exports — with inconsistent attribute structures.

High SKU Volume & Variant Logic

Massive product ranges with similar but distinct variants require scalable taxonomy, naming, and attribute design.

Omnichannel Expectations

Distributors, contractors, and end users all expect consistent and accurate product content across digital channels.

Our Solutions

Supplier Data Onboarding

Use SKULaunch to ingest, clean, and align supplier spreadsheets, PDFs, or exports for faster SKU setup.

Taxonomy & Attribute Modeling

Create industry-aligned structures (ETIM, UNSPSC, GS1) with category-level attributes tailored to your electrical range.

AI Content Enrichment

Generate enriched technical specs, SEO content, and structured product information using Descriptionwise.

PIM & System Integration

Connect product data to ERP, PIM, and eCommerce platforms for multichannel consistency and internal efficiency.

Case Study: BGW Australia

BGW Australia, a leading electrical and industrial distributor, partnered with Start with Data to tackle the complex challenge of enriching and managing product data across multiple business units and supplier sources. With tens of thousands of SKUs and significant variation in data quality, BGW needed a solution to unify, enrich, and streamline product content across brands and sales channels.
