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]

Reading notes for a buyer

This case speaks to the scenario “Peak-season readiness in 90 days” and feeds dimension D1 (Retail case study evidence) of the methodology. A question to put to GSPANN:

How many product pages and promotions were checked to support the accuracy and pricing error claims, and during which sale events? [ev-0985]
