Every supplier has
its own format.
The catalogue has one.
KOSMOS takes price lists as they arrive — PDFs, spreadsheets, CSVs, email attachments — and carries them to product records validated against the central catalogue. Brand, product type and attributes are not guessed: they are resolved against the data model and the sector ontology — the structure of the catalogue, not a list of values — and whoever is working the file can always overrule the machine.
Three things worth knowing first
If you are short on time, these are the differences that matter against any other importer.
AI is the last resort, not the first
Every value is looked up first in a dictionary curated by people, then in the rules learned from that supplier. AI handles only what is left — and when it does, it says so.
How it works →It learns from corrections instead of repeating them
When a person corrects a resolution, that correction becomes a rule for that supplier and applies to every later import. You do not fix the same mistake twice.
How it works →It never touches the master catalogue
KOSMOS reads the central data model live in order to validate, but never writes to it. When something falls outside the ontology it stops and asks a person, rather than widening the structure by itself.
How it works →The rules that are not negotiable
KOSMOS validates live against the data model and the sector’s vertical ontology — the structure of the catalogue, not merely its contents — but never writes to it, not even through a table of its own that would later update it. That is structural, not a preference.
The catalogue is not written from here
KOSMOS reads brands, product types, attributes, categories and the relationships between them live — the ontology, not just the values. It never writes to it, under any circumstances, not even after an approval.
The human beats the machine
Every proposed value is editable, and a person’s edit always takes precedence over a cluster’s or a model’s. No proposal is applied without someone being able to see it and change it.
Whoever proposed it says so
A value suggested by AI carries the mark that says so, and that mark disappears the moment a person replaces it. It is never placed on data read from the file or from the catalogue.
Anagraphic and commercial stay apart
Anagraphic data is universal and validates against the catalogue. Commercial data — stock, prices, discounts — is one client’s own policy and is never inferred from somebody else’s catalogue.
