CommerceClarity, the AI agent platform for catalog operations, and [FactFinder](https://www.fact-finder.com/), the AI-powered product discovery platform used across European B2B and complex retail, today announce **a partnership focused on the product data behind discovery**.
CommerceClarity enriches and normalizes the product attributes that FactFinder indexes, helping retailers make more of their catalog discoverable across search, navigation, personalization, recommendations and merchandising.
## A discovery platform can only work with the data it receives
A product discovery platform indexes the product data it receives from a retailer’s PIM, ecommerce platform or other product feed, and uses those attributes to match shoppers with the products they are looking for.
**When an attribute is missing, the product may not appear in the results at all**.
If the catalog says a product is “Bordeaux” but the shopper searches for “red”, for example, the product may never make it into the result set. The shopper sees zero results, or a set of less relevant products, and the problem looks like a search issue.
Often, it starts one step earlier: with the product data.
Search is the clearest example, but the same principle applies to personalization, recommendations and merchandising. They all depend on what the catalog says about each product.
That is the gap CommerceClarity and FactFinder are addressing together.
## FactFinder powers discovery. CommerceClarity improves the catalog behind it
FactFinder provides the discovery layer: search and navigation, personalization, recommendations, merchandising and the ranking that determines which products shoppers see first.
CommerceClarity works on the catalog underneath it: the product data that any discovery platform reads. It fills missing attributes, reconciles values that mean the same thing, and makes product information consistent across languages, markets and brands.
**A PIM stores the information that has been entered into it. CommerceClarity helps determine what information should be there in the first place**: specifications extracted from supplier data, attributes recovered when suppliers have not provided them, and values standardized across large catalogs and different markets.
That creates a more complete and consistent data layer for discovery and, increasingly, for AI shopping agents that rely on the same product attributes to make their choices.
FactFinder is part of CommerceClarity’s partner program for discovery platforms, which is open to other platforms that want to give their customers a more complete catalog.
## What changes for the retailer?
Nothing in the existing stack.
Retailers keep their discovery platform and their PIM. FactFinder connects through APIs, platform connectors and ready-made front-end components. CommerceClarity reads product data where it already exists, in the PIM, ERP or product feed, and writes the enriched data back through the existing setup.
**There is no migration and no replatforming.**
Both companies also bring their own specialists into the process. FactFinder’s Discovery Practice helps configure discovery around the retailer’s catalog, working alongside the retailer’s team or agency. CommerceClarity’s [Retail Engineers](/blog/meet-the-retail-engineer) take the catalog work into production, category by category.
