Catalogue, assortment and sets

Head office keeps one master catalogue. Each store then carries its own range from it, with its own prices, stock and visibility. The screens always show what head office set. All of this lives under Retail in head office at app.ateliq.co.

The master catalogue

The Catalogue tab lists every product. A product has:

• SKU, name, brand, category (fashion or jewellery), type (which decides where it is tried on, see Try-on), audience (women, men, unisex or kids) and colour;
• sizes, occasions, tags and attributes;
• images and a try-on cut-out;
• for hand pieces, the width and length in millimetres, so rings and wrist pieces are drawn at about real size;
• list price and currency;
• barcodes: the GTIN printed on the tag (EAN or UPC) or your own store code, optionally for one size only;
• a size chart, either chosen or matched automatically by brand and type;
• for jewellery, the jewellery details: metal, fineness, net and gross weight, making charges, stones, hallmark and whether it is priced at a fixed price or from the metal rate. See Metal rates.

A product is active or hidden. Hiding takes it off every screen; nothing is ever deleted by a sync.

You can edit products one by one, or import and export a CSV file. See Catalogue import. To keep the catalogue in step with your e-commerce platform or ERP automatically, connect a source in Integrations. See Catalogue sources.

Each store's range (Assortment)

The Assortment tab sets, for each store and product:

• carried or not;
• visible on the screens or not;
• a price override for that store;
• stock by size;
• location in the store.

You can copy a range from another store, carry or stop carrying products by selection, category or search, and import a CSV file.

A product appears on a store's screens only if it is active, carried and visible in that store, and priced in the store's currency. The Assortment tab lists the reason for any product that is left out: not in the catalogue, hidden, not carried, hidden in this store, or no price in the store currency.

Price order. The store's price override wins; otherwise a metal-rate price; otherwise the list price. Live offers then apply on top. See Offers and initiatives.

Store managers can change only stock, visibility and location, and only for their own stores.

Sets

The Sets tab curates bridal sets, stacks and other sets of two to eight pieces, each with a stylist note of up to 280 characters, for chosen cities or every store, shown or hidden. Shoppers try a whole set in one tap. A set appears on a screen only where every piece in it is on that screen, and each store receives at most 20 sets.

Tag review

The Cataloguer agent suggests tags each morning from product photos, from a fixed fashion and jewellery vocabulary, each marked Sure, Likely or Unsure. In the tag review, a person with write access accepts or rejects each suggestion. Nothing is added to a product until it is accepted, and a rejected value is never offered again for that product.
