Anglera

A distributor that receives a new supplier line with one row of text per item, and no structured attributes, is the customer Anglera was built for. Its software reads the supplier spreadsheet, the product label, the spec sheet PDF, dimension drawings and the manufacturer's own site, then fills in the attributes a buyer filters on (amperage, poles, voltage, width, GTIN, which older parts a product replaces) and keeps a reference to where each value came from. Values that conflict with the supplier feed are overruled or held for review rather than guessed.

Catalogues that search engines and AI assistants can read

The company frames the problem as discovery. A product record that says only "3-seat sofa" gives a site search engine, or an AI assistant answering a shopper's question, nothing to match against, so the product is skipped. Anglera's pages describe three aims for each record: completeness (every attribute the buyer decides on), correctness (specs in the units and wording buyers search with) and consistency ("20in", "20 inch" and "20 in" reduced to one form). The enriched data is synced back to the customer's PIM or ERP and from there to site search and outside channels.

Distributors, brands and marketplaces

Separate pages address distributors, manufacturers, brands, retailers and marketplaces, and the examples run from electrical and HVAC parts to furniture, apparel, power tools, auto parts and industrial supplies. One published case study is Blevins, a Nashville-founded distributor that supplies parts for manufactured housing across more than 35 US states, whose vice president of business development says an earlier vendor had "prettied up our existing content without filling the gaps". Anglera also publishes its own research, including a 2026 legibility index and a ranking of distributors' online catalogues, each with a methodology page.
