Project Overview
Managing products across multiple marketplaces worldwide (Amazon, Flipkart, Walmart, Cdiscount, Shopify, etc.) requires consistent and standardized identifiers. Each platform uses different identification systems (ASIN, EAN, UPC, ISBN, GTIN, etc.), and without a central management process, product duplication, listing errors, and data mismatches are inevitable. Our system generates globally unique Master SKUs, maps market-specific identifiers, and synchronizes stock, price, and order data, becoming the backbone of global catalog management.
Key Challenges
- Diverse rules and requirements across global marketplaces
- Risk of duplicate or conflicting product identifiers
- Handling millions of SKUs efficiently at scale
- Ensuring compliance with marketplace standards (ASIN, UPC, EAN, etc.)
- Managing complex bundles, variations, and product sets
Our Solutions
- Centralized SKU engine adapting dynamically to marketplace rules
- Generation of unique Master SKUs with serial numbers and validation checks
- Optimized batch processing and database indexing for high-volume operations
- Automated validation for Amazon ASIN and GS1 UPC compliance
- Bundle and variant-specific SKU mapping to prevent errors and duplication

Core Functionality & Intelligence
1. Master SKU Generation
Automatically generates globally unique Master SKUs for all products:
- Custom SKU formula incorporating business-specific codes
- Encodes mode, marketplace, company, and product type
- Ensures global uniqueness across all marketplaces
- Prevents product duplication and listing errors
Establishes a unified, reliable identifier backbone for seamless global catalog management.
2. Serial Number Assignment
Unique Identifier
- • Assigns a unique 10-digit serial number to every Master SKU
- • Enables full traceability across multiple marketplaces
Database Integration
- • Stores serial numbers in a relational database with uniqueness constraints
- • Automatically prevents duplicate serial assignments
3. Identifier Mapping
Marketplace Identifiers
- • Automatically generates ASINs, EANs, UPCs, and ISBNs
- • Maps identifiers to the corresponding SKU for each marketplace
Adaptive Logic
- • Adapts to marketplace-specific rules (e.g., Amazon US vs. EU)
- • Supports product-type specific identifier requirements
4. Database Storage
Centralized Storage
- • Stores SKUs and identifiers in relational database
- • Enforces uniqueness constraints
Scalability
- • Optimized for millions of records
- • Fast retrieval and updates
5. Sync with OMS
Stock & Price Sync
- • Matches inventory and purchase prices to SKUs
- • Updates in real-time with OMS
Lifecycle Sync
- • Syncs lead time and expiry data
- • Ensures accurate product lifecycle management
6. Bundle SKU & Variant Management
Bundle Support
- • Generates unique SKUs for bundles/kits
- • Ties to multiple Master SKUs
Variant Handling
- • Maps identifiers for sizes, colors, etc.
- • Ensures consistency across marketplaces
