    DataRefiner MetaMatch enables streamlined purchasing and eProcurement

    DataRefiner Metamatch is an automatic product matching solution for tenders and RFPs — rationalizing RFP listings and comparing it with products in the supplier database to enable speedy matching of the same or similar products.

    DataRefiner MetaMatch rationalizes the product data listed in the RFP —
    • Formalizes product descriptions into a tokenized, translated, formal structure
    • Classifies products according to any given taxonomy system
    • Extracts values from product descriptions and assigns them to the relevant attribute
    • Identifies duplicate or similar products based on their technical attributes-values, according to the user's strategy
    • Generates standardized product descriptions in any language, length, or structure
    • Matches the rationalized product list (RFP) with the master product data; matches pre-defined technical attributes and values by various user-defined strategies
