Beyond Basic Matching: Advanced Features You Might Have Missed
If you've been using Taxonomy Matcher for basic product categorization, you're only scratching the surface. Our platform has evolved into a comprehensive product optimization suite with advanced AI capabilities that can transform your entire workflow.
The reality: Most users discover these features months after signing up, often saying "I wish I knew about this sooner!"
Let's change that. Here are the advanced features that could revolutionize how you handle product categorization and optimization.
🎯 Hierarchical Categorization: 25% Better Accuracy
What You Might Be Missing
While basic matching tries to choose from thousands of categories at once, hierarchical categorization works like a human expert - making focused decisions level by level.
The Game-Changer
Instead of overwhelming AI with 5,000+ category options, it starts with main categories (Electronics, Clothing, Home & Garden) and progressively narrows down:
Product: "Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones"
Level 1: Electronics (from 10 main categories)
Level 2: Audio (from 15 Electronics subcategories)
Level 3: Headphones (from 8 Audio subcategories)
Level 4: Over-Ear Headphones (from 4 Headphones types)
Result: Electronics > Audio > Headphones > Over-Ear Headphones
Real Impact
- 25% accuracy improvement over traditional matching
- 90% accuracy rate vs 75% with single-step categorization
- Confidence scoring for each match
- Intelligent auto-selection when only one option exists
Success Story
"We categorized 50,000 products using hierarchical matching. The accuracy improvement meant 12,500 fewer manual corrections - saving us 3 weeks of work." - E-commerce Manager, Electronics Retailer
