Joe Albrecht shared thisFocus on accuracy of your product data if you want to win in b2b ecommerce, m2m commerce, and offline commerce alike. Unless people and AI agents can rely on the data. it's meaningless and will put you in the backseat over your competition. Nobody wants to order the wrong thing just because the data was wrong. Not humans, nor machines. The downstream inefficiencies are too problematic.Joe Albrecht shared thisIf your organization is looking to be more efficient, a great place to start is by addressing your product data issues, says Xngage CEO Joe Albrecht. Product data errors can cause so many issues downstream, causing your internal teams to waste valuable time and resources. Watch the episode now: https://lnkd.in/gbi3RH9m

In fact, accuracy of product data should now become THE most important aspect to solve for/focus on. While digitization and structuring data for ecommerce catalogs has been the priority of the past 10 years, now all that matters is accuracy of the data and content itself. Regardless of whether it is unstructured data (I.e. spec sheet, manuals, etc.) or it is structured data (explicit attributes, DB, PIM, catalog, etc.), nothing matters now more than accuracy. LLMs are especially well suited to "understand and use" unstructured data such as spec sheets and that's changing the game.
If you are in B2B, your key objective is to make sure the data you source, purchase, aggregate, create is ACCURATE. Then let AI help with everything else.

Joe Albrecht liked thisJoe Albrecht liked thisAs I wrap up the taught portion of my MSc in Design and Digital Media at the University of Edinburgh, I’ve been reflecting on how much I’ve learned over the past year. Throughout my coursework, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a range of projects. From designing a medication tracking app focused on accessibility in my UX course to developing brand guidelines for an air-cleaning product. These experiences strengthened my skills in user-centered design, prototyping, and visual communication. I also explored the social impact of digital spaces through a research paper on the Nth Room case, where I examined issues that arise within encrypted online chatrooms and had the opportunity to speak with a psychologist specializing in digital anonymity. This work deepened my understanding of online ethics and the role of social platforms in ensuring user safety. I’m excited to soon begin my dissertation and continue exploring how design can create more thoughtful, accessible, and meaningful digital experiences.

Joe Albrecht liked thisJoe Albrecht liked thisYour sales reps are spending 10 minutes hunting through a 10-page spec sheet to find one dimension. That's not a people problem. It's a process problem AI can fix right now. When a customer asks for a product specification, AI can scrape the PDF, find the answer, and return the exact value — not "it's in this document somewhere." This is the kind of practical, unglamorous AI work that actually saves time and closes quotes faster in B2B distribution. Watch on demand: https://hubs.ly/Q048xy_l0
