Automated Product Attribute Extraction and Tagging
For e-commerce with 10K+ SKUs. Automate product tagging from images with 90%+ accuracy. Reduce manual tagging by 80% and improve search quality.
E-commerce platforms, marketplaces, and dropshippers managing 10K+ SKUs requiring consistent product attributes for search and filtering
Manual product tagging is slow and inconsistent, supplier data has missing or incorrect attributes, and poor tagging results in products hidden from relevant searches

Why Mixpeek
90%+ accuracy on attribute detection, 80% reduction in manual tagging effort, and consistent taxonomy across entire catalog regardless of supplier data quality
Overview
Product discovery depends on accurate, consistent product attributes. Manual tagging cannot scale to modern catalog sizes, and supplier-provided data is often incomplete or inconsistent. This use case shows how Mixpeek automates product attribute extraction, improving search quality while dramatically reducing manual effort.
Challenges This Solves
Manual Tagging Bottlenecks
Human taggers process 50-100 products per day, creating backlogs for new inventory
Impact: New products sit unlisted for days/weeks, missing sales windows
Inconsistent Taxonomy
Different taggers apply different terms, creating fragmented search facets
Impact: Filters show overlapping options ("Red" vs "Scarlet"), confusing customers
Missing Supplier Data
Dropship and marketplace products arrive with minimal or incorrect attributes
Impact: 30-50% of products missing key attributes, hidden from filtered searches
Catalog Scale
Large catalogs (100K+ SKUs) make comprehensive manual tagging impossible
Impact: Only featured products receive complete tagging, long-tail inventory underperforms
Implementation Steps
Mixpeek analyzes product images using computer vision to automatically detect colors, patterns, styles, materials, and product-specific attributes, generating structured metadata for your catalog
Define Attribute Taxonomy
Configure extractors for your product attributes
// Define attribute extractorsconst attributeConfig = {fashion: {extractors: ['color-primary', 'color-secondary','pattern-type', 'material-detection','style-category', 'season-detection','garment-type', 'neckline-type']},home: {extractors: ['color-primary', 'material-detection','style-category', 'room-type','dimension-estimation']}};
Process Product Images
Extract attributes from product photography
async function extractProductAttributes(productId: string, imageUrl: string, category: string) {const config = attributeConfig[category];const result = await client.extract({url: imageUrl,extractors: config.extractors});return {product_id: productId,colors: {primary: result['color-primary'],secondary: result['color-secondary']},pattern: result['pattern-type'],material: result['material-detection'],style: result['style-category'],attributes: result};}
Update Product Catalog
Sync extracted attributes to your product database
async function updateCatalogAttributes(productId: string, attributes: object) {// Update product databaseawait db.products.update({where: { id: productId },data: {primary_color: attributes.colors.primary,pattern: attributes.pattern,material: attributes.material,style: attributes.style,auto_tagged: true,tagged_at: new Date()}});// Update search indexawait searchIndex.update(productId, attributes);}
Implement QA Workflow
Route low-confidence extractions for human review
async function processWithQA(productId: string, imageUrl: string, category: string) {const attributes = await extractProductAttributes(productId, imageUrl, category);// Check confidence scoresconst lowConfidence = Object.entries(attributes).filter(([key, value]) => value.confidence < 0.80);if (lowConfidence.length > 0) {await queueForReview(productId, lowConfidence);return { status: 'pending_review', attributes };}await updateCatalogAttributes(productId, attributes);return { status: 'completed', attributes };}
