Missing data is breaking your sales

Most online retailers know the problem: Product data is missing, incomplete, or inconsistent.

Manual data maintenance costs time, money, and is prone to errors.

1

Incomplete Data

Without automation, crucial attributes are missing. Data is inconsistent, incomplete, or simply incorrect.

2

Poor Search Functionality

Where there is no data, filters fail. Search and filter functions become unreliable and limited.

3

Revenue Loss

Products cannot be found efficiently. Customers get frustrated and switch to competitors; conversion rates drop.

Good products shouldn't be invisible. SpecScout fills the gaps in your database automatically so your customers find exactly what they are looking for.

The Technology

How SpecScout works

1. Input

You send us the product name and brand (e.g., "Dell Latitude 5420").

2. AI-Powered Research

Our engine searches and analyzes reliable online sources using AI.

3. Validation & Normalization

Data is verified and normalized according to your specific needs (e.g., "inch" to "mm").

4. Integration

You receive structured JSON with the data, ready for your database.

We close the data gap in the
Circular Economy.

Used goods are the future. But without data, nobody buys complex tech. SpecScout makes second-hand products just as transparent and filterable as new ones.

  • Support for Legacy Products (EOL)
  • Promoting sustainable consumption
> 100 Mio. Products

sold on second-hand platforms in 2024

Why SpecScout?

We don't just supply raw data copied from the web. We deliver reliable structures for your shop.

Verified Data Quality

A Google search alone isn't enough. Our algorithm compares multiple sources and validates plausibility.

  • Cross-check of multiple sources
  • Multi-stage validation mechanisms

Smart Normalization

We standardize units of measurement and formats automatically so your filters work. Fully configurable for your individual data standard.

  • "6.1 inch" → "15.5 cm"
  • Unified notation

Seamless Integration

Whether Shopware, Shopify, or a custom build: Our API adapts to your tech stack.

  • RESTful JSON API
  • Easy integration into Zapier, n8n, Shopify Flow, Microsoft Power Platform, and many more systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about integration, data quality, and our pricing model.

What are the benefits of being a Pilot Customer?

As a pilot customer, you're getting access to SpecScout for a heavily discounted price. Furthermore, you enjoy VIP status: You have a direct line to our development team and can actively influence the roadmap. We prioritize features and integrations that you need for your shop, ensuring SpecScout fits perfectly into your processes.

How do I integrate SpecScout into my system?

SpecScout is primarily an API service. You can retrieve our JSON data directly via a REST interface. However, we are continuously working to make integration as easy as possible. As a pilot customer, you have the opportunity to request an integration solution tailored to your system.

Is SpecScout suitable for full automation?

In principle, yes. SpecScout can be fully automated within existing processes. Optionally, critical fields can be manually checked or approved before publication. We recommend a brief manual check, especially for products that come in multiple variants (e.g., different storage options for the same smartphone model), to ensure that only the options you actually have in stock are listed. Even with manual checking, SpecScout saves significant time compared to fully manual data entry.

How exactly does SpecScout improve my filters?

Even the best filter software is useless if the underlying data is incomplete or inconsistent (e.g., a mix of mm, cm, inches).
SpecScout provides the necessary attributes fully standardized and without gaps. This ensures that products are correctly mapped in search results and category filters (faceted search) and do not slip through the cracks.

Can I determine which specifications are extracted?

Yes. You define which attributes are relevant for your shop (e.g., RAM, storage, weight, battery capacity, etc.) and exactly how the data should be output. You can choose the relevant specifications 100% freely. SpecScout delivers only the desired specifications in a structured form.

What happens if SpecScout finds no matching data?

For unusual specifications or very poorly documented products, SpecScout may not find matching data. In this case, the relevant specifications are listed transparently under "not_found" in our response. (Docs)

Do you also find data for old devices (EOL) and niche products?

Yes. Unlike large databases, our algorithm is flexible and not limited to existing entries in a database.

Where does the data come from?

The data comes from various trusted sources on the web. All data is double-verified to ensure the highest quality.

How much does SpecScout cost?

We are currently in the pilot phase, so we offer heavily discounted prices for our pilot customers at the moment. Please request a demo to receive an individual offer.

Can I test the data quality?

Of course. You can receive a temporary API key from us upon request, allowing you to send up to 200 free requests to our API. Alternatively, you can send us a CSV document with up to 50 test products (name, brand) and the required specifications (exact format on request). We will then provide you with the results generated by SpecScout as JSON or CSV.

How do you ensure the data is correct?

SpecScout compares technical details from multiple independent sources. We only output data if it has been confirmed by at least two independent sources.

You use AI. Can hallucinations occur?

No. We use AI as a central component of our algorithm, but we have developed guardrails that reliably exclude hallucinations in SpecScout.

Is my data stored permanently or passed on?

No. Your product lists serve exclusively for identification and processing. Customer-specific data is not passed on to third parties and is not stored permanently. However, in the pilot phase, we use data from failed requests to improve our algorithm and prevent similar errors in the future.

Ready to automate your product data?

We are looking for innovative online retailers for our pilot program. Secure early access and help shape SpecScout.
