How can you ensure the quality of visuals produced for e-commerce? At the most recent Tech for Retail conference, Thomas Larzillière, CEO of Keepeek, and Mathieu Halbert, Product and Media Repository Product Owner at Intermarché, shared their strategy for automating media quality control using theAI and a DAM.

A common strategy for high-quality visual products

At Tech for Retail 2024, Intermarché shared the challenges they face in managing their product visuals. With 260,000 product sheets and over 4,000 media received daily, ensuring optimal quality is essential for their e-commerce site.

Blurred visuals, non-compliant formats, uncropped or pixelated photos: these recurring problems waste team time and have a direct impact on sales. Consumers, attracted first and foremost by a product's image, will pass by if the visual does not illustrate the item correctly. The challenge is clear: make the product image validation chain more reliable to increase efficiency and sales.

AI : Supporting Media Management

Keepeek and Intermarché therefore worked together to develop an innovative API capable of automatically detecting common errors:

• Product visuals blurred or pixelated;
• Product visuals not cropped or with shadows ;
• Product images in the wrong format;
• Product visuals do not show the correct side;
• Wrongly named product visuals ;
• And many other problems.

Based on GS1 standards, this solution enables media quality to be checked at the moment of import into the DAM. As a result, problems are identified automatically and more quickly, consistency is improved and teams regain confidence in their tools.
