Problem as stated
The retailer launched hundreds of products a week across 23 countries. The vendor states it had difficulty keeping product attributes, prices and campaign setups correct on its ecommerce site. Product information, content, merchandising, localization and campaign systems all fed the product pages, which added to the data errors, and region-specific variations had to be checked. [ev-0985]
