The catalog that audits itself: Bağlıca Bisiklet.
Close to 550 products and hundreds of variations cannot be checked by hand. We built a control screen that reads the whole catalog against a set of rules and puts what it finds in front of the manager, ordered by severity, before a customer runs into it.
A store can carry a missing product description for months because nobody is looking, and the customer who gives up because of it never says why.
Overview
Behind the storefront sits a catalog of close to 550 products from 15 brands, each carrying its own variations. A catalog that size is never finished. New products arrive, brands change their lineups, photography lands late, an option gets created and never properly connected.
None of that is visible from the sales floor. A product with no description still shows up in the listing, a product with no images still takes up its slot, a variant that lost its parent still exists in the data. The store tends to find out at the same moment the customer does, and by then the sale is already gone.
Product Control makes that inspection part of the platform itself. A set of rules describes what a complete product looks like: it carries a description, it carries images, its variants are connected to the product they belong to. Anything that fails a rule is gathered onto a single screen, so the state of the catalog becomes a page someone opens rather than a question someone has to think to ask.
The Challenge
The catalog carries close to 550 products from 15 brands, and behind them hundreds of variations. At that size a thin description or an empty image slot is not an exception; it is something that quietly piles up and only becomes visible when a shopper reaches that product.
A catalog that size is well past the point where one person can read it through and see what is wrong.
Products that went live with a thin description or none at all, most of them sitting deep in the catalog where nobody scrolls.
Products with no images, which look broken on the listing page and get skipped without the store ever hearing about it.
Variants that lost the link to their parent product, so a size or an option exists in the data but cannot be reached from the storefront.
The catalog is read by rules, not by people.
Product Control scans the whole catalog against a defined rule set, groups what it finds by type and lists it in one place, ordered by severity. Alongside it, sold-out products keep a record of the shoppers who asked to be told when the item comes back in stock, and that check repeats on a schedule.
What the control screen changed.
The bottom line.
Work on the catalog now starts from a list instead of a hunch. Findings arrive grouped by type and ordered by severity, so the products that are actively costing a sale sit at the top and cosmetic gaps wait underneath. Because the findings sit inside the same panel the products are managed in, there is no separate route between seeing a fault and starting to fix it.
Because the scan repeats on a schedule, the catalog does not quietly drift back. Every product entered afterward is measured against the same rules as the ones already there, so the standard holds without depending on anyone's memory or on a free afternoon.
Sold-out products stopped being dead ends as well. A shopper who wants something the store does not currently carry leaves a request to be told when it returns, so inventory that comes back arrives with a waiting list already attached to it.
