Messy Input Data? No Problem.
You Tell The AI What Data Matters
If you work with product data, you already know that supplier files can arrive bloated with fields you don’t need, identifiers you can’t trust, and inconsistencies you didn’t ask for. Before you can begin enriching product content, you have to clean, normalize, and strip data down manually.
That friction slows teams down, introduces the risk of human-error, and keeps e-commerce specialists stuck in operational work.
Today, we’re launching a Trustana platform upgrade that changes that.
The Problem: When “More Data” Gets in the Way
Modern commerce teams receive product data from dozens (sometimes hundreds) of suppliers. Each comes with their own formats, naming conventions, and internal identifiers – not all of which are relevant to the enrichment process.
Common challenges we hear from customers:
- Supplier files contain extra fields that confuse product identification
- Distributor-specific IDs override more reliable product attributes
- Manual data teams have to clean data upfront to prevent bad search results
- AI systems treat all input fields as equally important, even when they’re not
Sometimes we hear that teams spend so much time cleaning input data, they might as well have done the enrichment by hand!
The Solution: Platform-Level Control Over What AI Should Prioritize
As part of our latest platform upgrade, Trustana now gives you Search Parameter Control, a powerful new capability that puts you in charge of how AI identifies and matches products.
This is another leap forward in Trustana’s goal to provide you with AI that finally understands your business.
Search Parameter Control allows you to:
- Load all supplier input data into Trustana (no pre-cleaning required)
- Explicitly define which fields matter for identifying a product
- Specify which fields the AI should ignore during enrichment
The AI follows your business rules.
Why This Matters for E-commerce Teams
How does this e-commerce teams in the real world? Here’s an example:
In the Automotive industry, auto parts data often includes:
- Several distributor-specific part numbers
- Regional catalog identifiers
These fields are useful for operations, but are confusing for AI when undergoing an enrichment process.
With Search Parameter Control, you can:
- Ignore distributor-specific IDs
- Prioritize manufacturer part numbers, brand, and specifications
- Ensure accurate matching across alternative sources and catalogs
Another example:
For department stores & fashion retailers: When onboarding multiple brands and suppliers, some send clean GTINs, but in many cases, GTINs aren’t accurate.
Now you can choose whether or not to rely on GTINs to identify your products.
Ready to Put Your Rules in Charge?
Search Parameter Control is now live on the Trustana platform.
If you’re ready to:
- Stop cleaning data before it’s useful
- Increase trust in AI-driven matching
- Scale product operations without scaling manual work

Search Parameter Control FAQ
What is Search Parameter Control?
Search Parameter Control is a capability that lets you tell AI exactly which product data fields matter for identifying and matching products, and which fields should be ignored.
Why is Search Parameter Control important for product data enrichment?
Because supplier data often includes extra or unreliable fields, Search Parameter Control prevents AI from using the wrong information, reducing mismatches and improving enrichment accuracy.
How does Search Parameter Control work?
You load all supplier data as-is, then define rules that specify which attributes the AI should prioritize and which ones it should ignore during product matching and enrichment.
Does Search Parameter Control require data to be cleaned first?
No. You can ingest messy, unfiltered supplier data without manual pre-cleaning. The AI follows your rules instead of treating all fields equally.
How does Search Parameter Control improve AI matching accuracy?
By prioritizing trusted identifiers like manufacturer part numbers, brand names, and specifications, while ignoring distributor-specific or operational-only fields.
Can Search Parameter Control be customized by industry?
Yes. Different rules can be applied based on industry needs, such as automotive, fashion, or department store retail. The same is true across accounts, brands, and categories with Trustana.
Does Search Parameter Control replace manual enrichment work?
It significantly reduces manual preparation work by allowing AI to operate correctly without human-led data stripping or normalization.
