Welcome

Taxonomy, Inc. provides product classification consulting services.

Product classification is used to organize and describe items in a catalog. The classification can include categories, where like items are grouped together; and attributes, which describe characteristics that like items have in common.

There are many, many product classifications available today. Some are specific to an industry, while others are industry-neutral. Some have attributes; most don't. Some are hierarchical, some are flat. They are all managed differently.

Without a product classification standard in your catalog, the task of data organization and management can quickly become prohibitively difficult and expensive.

Taxonomy Inc. understands product classification standards, and can help you select or design one appropriate to your catalog; integrate the classification into your data management processes; develop processes to keep the schema up-to-date; develop support for additional schemas that your suppliers or customers may require. We also provide classes on product classification issues, if you want to start by building up your understanding of the challenges and pitfalls that await you.
