Multi-Source Catalog Ingestion
Reads cXML, BMEcat, CIF, OCI feeds, Excel uploads, and direct supplier portals. No template configuration needed — the agent learns the source format on first ingest.

Catalog Agent
Normalizes. Classifies. Enriches. Activates
Normalizes every supplier catalog feed, classifies SKUs against UNSPSC + your taxonomy, enriches with images/specs/eco-data, activates Punchout. Astral resolves item-master variations across 30+ supplier catalogs — same SKU at three suppliers maps to one canonical item. Buyers stop guessing, category managers compare apples to apples.

The use case
One catalog. Every supplier. Every SKU mapped to one canonical item.
Procurement teams running 30+ supplier catalogs in five formats — cXML from one, BMEcat from another, CIF from a third, raw Excel from the long tail. Same M8 bolt has three SKUs at three suppliers. Buyers cannot compare. Master data is a Wild West. Category managers cannot model spend by family because the family field is empty 60% of the time.
Catalog Agent ingests every feed in its native format, classifies each SKU against UNSPSC + your taxonomy, enriches it with images and specs, and resolves item-master variations through Astral's typed knowledge graph. Pairs natively with Punchout Agent — once the catalog is clean, Punchout connections activate in minutes. Pairs with Spend Analytics Agent — finally you can ask "how much do we spend on M8 stainless bolts" and get one number.
For who
CPO
“5 suppliers, 5 catalog formats. SKU mismatch on every PO.”
Category Manager
“I cannot compare across suppliers. Different units, different codes.”
Procurement Ops
“Buyers buy off-catalog because the catalog is empty.”
Master Data Lead
“Item master is a Wild West. Audit finds it every year.”
Capabilities
What Catalog Agent actually does.
02Capability
UNSPSC + Custom Taxonomy Classification
Classifies every SKU against UNSPSC 4-level hierarchy plus your internal category tree. 99% accuracy on industrial categories. Confidence-scored, low-confidence routed for one-click validation.
03Capability
Image, Spec & Eco-Label Enrichment
Pulls product images, technical specs, dimensions, eco-labels (FSC, EU Ecolabel, Energy Star, REACH). Cross-references manufacturer databases. Buyers see what they buy, not a SKU string.
04Capability
Astral Item-Master Resolution
Same item from three suppliers maps to one canonical item in your master record. Astral's typed knowledge graph resolves "M8 stainless bolt" across "Bossard ref 1093.M8" and "Würth 0103.080.50" automatically.
