Back to School - And Beyond the Snack Aisle

Each catalog captures new products and updated data and images. Whether your application is product matching, enrichment, or analytics, we’ve got the data. Here are a few of the product introductions in our newest release:

Dubai Chocolate is a new flavor and it’s trending.  (It’s delicious, too). Using AI analytics, we found that at Christmas last year, no major retailers were offering any Dubai Chocolate products. But in our newest catalog, we see that 12 different brands are currently offered in retailers across the USA. Foodgraph's catalog is always up-to-date with new product introductions and useful analytics.

In addition to packaged food products, we’re continuing to expand coverage across all aisles of the store, adding items in Household, Personal Care, Health & Beauty, and Pets. And more to come!

Retailer Assortments: Who's Winning?

Each retailer’s unique mix shows how they stack up as a “destination” store.

Notice that Price Chopper and Stop & Shop have the lowest unique mix, which is expected for supermarkets.  Compare them to Sprouts and Whole Foods, which are specialty retailers, and Walmart with its high percentage of private label products.

Our AI classifier agent and product matching algorithms enable high-value analytics across categories, retailers, attribute compliance, and much more.

‍

‍‍‍New Retailers Added

Foodgraph’s catalog has grown to include product data from 29 sources, adding four new sources since our last release, including the packaged food products from these major retailers.

‍

Next Catalog Update

Looking ahead, our next major update is planned for September, with a spotlight on fall flavors and Halloween products.

With our June 2 update (v38), we added 31,000+ new products across food and non-food categories, including retailer-exclusive and private label SKUs.

Our catalog now includes over 740,000 products. An increase of 4% since the last release and 17% year to date.

‍

Beyond Packaged Food

We’re now growing our catalog beyond packaged foods to include categories from other aisles of the store, starting with Household and Personal Care. Here are a few examples from our latest catalog.

In coming releases, additional products will be added in these categories and other aisles.

‍

All Wakefern Banners Added

Foodgraph’s catalog has grown to include data from 25 sources, now including all banners from Wakefern.

To complement our retailer coverage, we’ve also integrated SmartLabel, a brand-syndicated data source with freshly-updated attributes from Conagra, Topco, and more.

‍‍‍Our Size Enricher AI Agent

The table below illustrates how three retailers describe the same product, each displaying an incorrect, non-standard or missing size value in the title.

Our newest AI agent analyzes each source, normalizes values, and adjudicates conflicting values,  returning a standardized and accurate value via the Foodgraph API for our measures field. Pretty nifty!

This new approach has resulted in:

     +85% improved outcomes over incorrect entries from different data sources.
     +6% more data fields enriched, even where values were entirely missing.

Size Enricher is just one example of how we’re using AI to improve data quality across our catalog.

Next Catalog Update

We refresh our catalog continually. Our next major catalog is targeted for release in August, in advance of Back to School.

Every Foodgraph catalog release adds thousands of new products, including private label & retailer-exclusive products. Fresh product data helps you match more receipt data, monitor shelf health, and build better PDPs.

Our catalog doesn’t stop at front images. We also offer hero shots, brand extras and many more image types. Here are a few examples from our latest catalog.

New SKU Values for Better Matching

For all retailers in our catalog, SKU values are available for matching products to retailers, receipts, and POS data, such as a Target DPCI. Here's an example product with the SKU values of the retailers who offer it.

New Retailers Added

Foodgraph’s catalog has grown to include data from 19 sources, now including the private label products of these major retailers.

‍‍‍23,000+ Products Added

23,000+ packaged food products were added to our catalog on April 3. All clients gained access to the updated catalog on that date.

Many brands introduced new products in time for Easter, so we named this updated catalog, our 34th, as “Jellybeans.”‍

In total, 699,000+ products with fresh data and images are available now, up 11% just this year.

Next Catalog Update

We refresh our catalog continually. Our next major catalog is targeted for release on May 1, in advance of Mother’s Day.

Thank you for following our progress! If you would like more information, or to see a sample data set of new products added to our catalog this month, please reach out. I’d love to hear how we can support your work.
