Data Source Governance

Govern Your Data and Inspire Catalog Confidence

Ensure your product content is sourced, validated, and published with precision - delivering consistent, high-quality catalogs that teams and customers can rely on.

CatalogIQ’s Data Source Governance ensures that your product content comes from the right place, flows through intelligent validation, and is published with full traceability. With dozens of internal systems, supplier feeds, and manual inputs in play, this feature centralizes control — enforcing trust, resolving conflicts, and streamlining data flows at scale.

Data Source Governance Framework

Data Source Hierarchy Rules

Set the Chain of Command for Your Data.

Define which source takes priority when conflicts arise—whether it’s supplier feeds, ERP systems, or manual edits. Establish cascading rules so the right data wins every time.

Trust Scoring & Provenance

Measure and Prove Data Reliability.

Assign trust scores to every input by tracking its origin, version history, and quality. Flag questionable sources before they cause downstream issues.

Conflict Detection & Resolution

Catch Conflicts Before They Go Live.

Automatically detect duplicate, missing, or conflicting data before it reaches your storefront. Resolve issues fast with automated rules or manual workflows.

Audit Trails & Version History

Know What Changed, When, and Why.

Maintain a complete edit history for every field—tracking who made changes, when they happened, and the reason behind them across all systems.

Governed Workflow Integration

Governance That Fits Into Your Flow.

Embed governance rules directly into onboarding and enrichment workflows. Automatically accept, reject, or hold data for review based on your compliance logic.

Automated Data Health Monitoring

Stay Ahead of Data Decay.

Continuously scan incoming and existing data for anomalies, outdated details, or quality risks. Get proactive alerts so you can correct issues before they affect your catalog or customer trust.

Applies any proprietary exception logic and/or knowledge into the response.

Fallback Search

Failed TIS searches optionally fallback to online sources and are assigned a confidence score.

Decoder

Cross Validations
