AI-supported Product Data Management
ANTEROS combines advanced artificial intelligence with world-class data management to optimize and personalize product information to maximize business success. Intelligent features create high-quality content while saving time and costs.
Advantages of AI in Combination with ANTEROS
Artificial intelligence (AI) allows machines to think, learn and solve problems like humans, using techniques such as machine learning, language processing and image recognition.
Combining PIM and AI provides your company with new capabilities - from organization and analysis to translation of product data into personalized information that can be used across channels. This AI-supported product data management offers the following advantages:

The AI Features of the ANTEROS Software
ANTEROS provides intelligent functions at all stages of data processing - from product data transfer to automated extraction of information for different channels - with optimization of the entire process in mind.
Onboarding Product Data
The integration of artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in the process of seamlessly integrating new external data, e.g. from third-party systems and suppliers, into the product database. This process is known as onboarding. The AI-supported ANTEROS.damex module makes it possible to extract, categorize and verify data from various sources.
Integration with the PIM allows data from other systems and sources to be mapped to the PIM structures. Correlations between supplier standards and the company's own PIM data structure can also be recognized, improving data integrity.
Product data can be intelligently merged from different sources to transfer comprehensive product information directly into the PIM and thus reduce your own maintenance effort.
The AI-supported technology enables intelligent mapping of product information from suppliers and existing systems in order to transfer it to ANTEROS in a suitable and clean form.
Collecting and Cleansing Product Information
Using artificial intelligence makes it possible to record and cleanse product data even more efficiently and process different data structures and file formats. Data can also be automatically decoded and imported. ANTEROS can also detect inaccuracies or even errors in extensive data sets, which significantly improves data quality.
ANTEROS.qm is the reliable Quality Management System (QMS) by INCONY that helps companies to monitor and improve the quality of their product data. A clear dashboard allows businesses to track progress on data quality and take targeted action to improve data. Audit reports monitor data quality and identify potential issues, while quality levels ensure that data quality requirements are met one step at a time.
Integrating AI into data quality control boosts efficiency and strengthens the trust customers have in your company by allowing them to make informed purchasing decisions.
Creating and Enriching Content
Flexible calculation rules mean that some information can be automatically determined from other data. This means that technical characteristics or composite texts no longer have to be entered manually, but can be generated automatically.
An example of this would be automatically calculating the volume of a product from the length, width and height parameters.
V = L * W * H
Another example would be to automatically create a tender text from an array of text fields or technical characteristics of the respective product - for several thousand products. This use of text modules and formulas saves a considerable amount of time and effort.
An innovative approach by ANTEROS is the integration of a wizard in the calculation rule editor, which suggests calculation rules via a ChatGPT query. Rules are automatically formulated using specific questions and answers. Alternatively, product descriptions can also be generated completely automatically. In this case, the user submits a query to ChatGPT and specifies the desired product features. A product description containing the relevant keywords is generated from this request.
This approach allows you to create and adapt content efficiently, intelligently and intuitively.
Efficient Translation of Product Data
An integrated translation memory system (TMS) in the ANTEROS PIM system assists with the efficient translation of content, which significantly reduces the amount of effort required for translation.
Texts relevant for translation are automatically tagged with their translation status in the central dictionary:
● = Translation needed, ● = Translating, ● = Released
ANTEROS allows translations directly in web forms or via Excel; any changes made since the last translation are highlighted in color.
The integration of the machine translator DeepL provides additional support with quick and accurate (pre-)translations. Linguistic precision and cultural relevance are also ensured, for example cultural and spelling differences between "American English" and "British English" are taken into consideration.
By integrating AI into the translation process, you can quickly keep product data up to date in multiple languages and contribute to a consistent global experience for your customers.
Intelligent Maintenance of Media Objects
A media database serves as a central storage and management system for images, documents, videos and audio files that can be accessed by all company employees, regardless of their location.
ANTEROS.mam automatically converts images into different formats, so images only need to be uploaded in good quality once. If images need to be changed, this need only happen once, thanks to this automatic conversion all variations of this original image will then be automatically created. This minimizes errors and confusion. When uploading files, intelligent image comparison checks to see if an image already exists in the system to avoid duplicates.
Image conversion can be configured to meet various customer requirements. For example, you can automatically watermark your product photos for the web store or documents to ensure copyright protection, brand identity and authenticity.
In addition, rule-based images can be automatically assigned to products, e.g. via article numbers or designations contained in the file name.
AI enables greater efficiency, quality, and consistency in maintaining the images, documents, and videos you need.
Intelligent Automation for Effective Product Presentation
ANTEROS uses intelligent functions to efficiently transfer product information from the PIM system into a variety of formats and showcase it on different channels.
ANTEROS.print automatically generates catalogs, price lists and data sheets by configuring custom layouts using intelligent print rules. The print engine automatically checks for consistent placement of content and corrects if necessary to ensure a cohesive presentation. In addition, content is intelligently redistributed so that your content is perfectly positioned for each column and table width.
ANTEROS can also be used to automate the data distribution to online shops, online catalogs or exports to retailers, customers or partners. Professional web shops can be realized with ANTEROS.web. Regular exports check which data has changed in the PIM system to ensure that the online presentation is always up to date. Additionally, exploded views in the web store can be intelligently provided with hotspots to mark and link spare parts to a product.
AI features enable efficient and intelligent routing to various channels.
