Scope
This product sheet defines part number based matching in the context of an e-commerce website.
The target websites are scraped for the client account.
The target sites specified expose the industry standard part numbers used for matching.
Definition
The Part Number matching service:
- Automatically matches products together with identical part numbers
- applies a cleansing algorithm to ensure part numbers expressed slightly differently are matched e.g. 123.abc, 123-abc, 123abc and "123 abc" would be treated as a match
- Part numbers that can be used for matching include:
- Manufacturer Part Number
- EAN (barcode)
- ISBN
Input Required From Client
- None
Notes
The client could specify additional custom rules for part number matching, but these would be bespoke and additional to this automatic part number matching
