Data Normalization & Quality
In Dropshipping, data quality is the #1 failure point. Different suppliers use different size charts, image formats, and material names. We solve this with the "Golden Record" Standard.
The Ingestion Pipeline
We do not simply import supplier feeds. Data goes through a rigorous normalization process:
- Ingest: Raw data pulled from Supplier CSV/API.
- Cleanse: Scripts remove "factory codes", broken HTML, and non-compliant terms.
-
Standardize:
- Sizes converted to unified US/EU Charts (CM/INCH).
- Safety Ratings (CE Level 1/2) standardized to a single attribute.
- Colors mapped to our 15-color master palette.
