Data depth and match quality

The precision of Mercura's article matching depends directly on the depth and structure of the article data you push. The more you send, the more accurately Mercura can resolve incoming LV positions against your catalogue.

Articles that match well tend to carry:

  • Identifying attributes — manufacturer name and article number, supplier article number, EAN / GTIN.
  • Classifications — ETIM class, applicable norms (DIN / EN / ISO).
  • Technical parameters — power, voltage, dimensions, IP rating, and any other physical or electrical characteristics that distinguish one variant from another.

Any field your source system carries but the standard schema does not cover can be passed through the custom_fields attribute available on every master-data resource — no schema change required.
