What is Manage Product Taxonomy?

Definition

Managing product taxonomy involves structuring product categories and attributes in a logical, hierarchical format. In PIM, this ensures products are classified consistently across channels. Strong taxonomy improves searchability, data enrichment, discoverability, and customer experience.

Management keeps categories and associated rules aligned with changing business needs. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take new fixture types not covered by existing categories, propose taxonomy changes and assess affected records, and apply the approved structure and recheck classifications.
