// The problem

Initial Situation

The creation of product descriptions and metadata at Picard was previously done manually or semi-automatically. This led to high time expenditure, lack of scalability, and increased error susceptibility.

Challenge

Previous attempts using freelancers and manual text creation were not effective. The seasonal pressure—texts had to be completed three months before product launch—intensified the strain.

Consequence

For employees, this meant working constantly at the limit, with a heavy coordination effort and tedious correction loops, as the seasonal peak tied up immense capacities.

// The Mission

Full Automation of Product Texts for E-Commerce Scalability

Complete automation of product description and metadata creation for two marketplaces

Generation of channel-specific, CI-compliant, and target-group-oriented content

Establishment of scalable processes for every season (Autumn/Winter + Spring/Summer)

Compliance with strict text briefings regarding wordings and character limits

Avoiding opportunity costs and boosting E-commerce performance with limited resources

"

inally, a consulting firm that doesn't offer one-size-fits-all AI solutions and customer-centricly only uses the solution that is truly needed.

// Our Approach

Three Structured Phases for
Text Rules, Automation, and QA

Together with Picard, a highly efficient, in-house hosted script environment was set up. Combining TIO for the text logic and RosaeNLG for metadata resulted in a completely autonomous pipeline.
