Taxonomy

Up to 30% of an employee's time is spent looking for information�
and they only find it 50% of the time

It doesn't have to be that way. InQuera's taxonomy experts can help you categorize your information — making it easy to find and simple to use. Taxonomy allows product data to be classified into clearly defined categories, providing fast access to product information across the organization.

A well-defined taxonomy meets user information needs, enabling you to maintain control over your data. It's a dynamic, updateable, and referenceable structure that accommodates real-time changes.

Who Needs Taxonomy?

Manufacturers

Purchasing departments

Allows unified purchasing (and elimination of duplications) across an organization

Distributors / Sell Side

Enables distributors to find and compare items irrespective of the naming convention

Customers / Buy Side

Enables customers to search, quickly locate, and compare products

What is Taxonomy?

Taxonomy is a classification scheme that groups similar items into categories according to established criteria.

A taxonomy is based on a set of common, category-specific attributes.
