Meet the Team Behind CatalogIQ
We believe better product data is the key to smarter ecommerce — and we’re here to help you unlock it.
After years of working with leading retailers and witnessing the frustration of inconsistent product data, we launched MagnetLABS to solve a fundamental problem: messy, incomplete catalogs that undermine great shopping experiences.
Our team of ecommerce veterans understands the pressure to deliver accurate search results, personalized recommendations, and conversion-ready content. That’s why we built CatalogIQ — a smarter way to transform raw product data into structured, enriched content that powers discovery, relevance, and results.
MagnetLABS sits at the intersection of new technology and savvy veteran leadership.
