Handling large numbers of SKUs has always been complicated - Trustana's market research efforts revealed that Distributors and Retailers with more than 250 SKUs require a complex, manpower-heavy organisation to manage their product information. Onboarding new products or updating existing product information becomes exponentially more challenging once the SKU count exceeds 500.

One of the main problems is that product data is scattered across multiple systems - including spreadsheets, cloud storage services, and even multiple physical hard drives. Consolidating and integrating this information in a single source of truth is a daunting task.  

Moreover, most IT systems' data import process is complicated and strict, often requiring the user to transform their information into an unforgiving "template". This approach puts the burden onto the user for the sake of technical simplicity – and is the opposite of “user-friendly”!
