Data Source Governance
Control the Chaos — Manage Product Data Sources with Confidence
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 Features
Source Hierarchy Rules
Define which source wins when data conflicts arise — whether it’s supplier feeds, ERP systems, or manual edits. Establish cascading priority logic.
Trust Scoring & Provenance
Quantify the reliability of each input. Track origin, version history, and data quality to flag questionable sources.
Conflict Detection & Resolution
Catch duplicate, missing, or conflicting data before it reaches your storefront. Leverage automated rules and manual workflows.
Audit Trails & Version History
Maintain a full edit history for every field — who changed it, when, and why — across all systems.
Governed Workflow Integration
Plug governance logic into onboarding and enrichment flows. Automatically accept, reject, or hold data for review.
Our Proprietary Product Research Process
Trusted Industry Sources (TIS)
Searches trusted sources for matches and assigns a confidence score.
Exceptions
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
When available, optionally apply a manufacturer part number decoder validation.
Cross Validations
Ensure all product specs match across TIS, exceptions, and decoders; assign score.
A flexible verification process that applies confidence scoring and citation flags to ensure product information is trustworthy and high-quality.
