Why Auto Categorization is the Future of Inventory Management? A Guide for Understanding and Implementing Automated Categorization on the ONDC protocol compliant seller app


We are all aware of how important inventory management is to our daily lives. Imagine a situation in which you want to manually select a category for each item on your inventory list. Isn't it exhausting? Well we heard your voices and we are now providing you with AI technology, which automatically assigns categories to all the products that you have added in item master through POS.

How to map categories automatically?

 

STEP 1: Navigate to https://integration.gofrugal.com/login and enter your login credentials



 

STEP 2: Choose ONDC protocol as an addon




STEP 3: After choosing ONDC protocol integration you will be displayed by dashboard screen. Click Masters > Category Mapping. All the items provided by the store which are applicable on online will be displayed. Initially the status of all items will be unmapped (before mapping)



Manual Mapping:

 

STEP 4 : Click the Select Category drop down, all the available categories will be listed. Choose a category type

 



STEP 5 : Click the save button. The selected category will be mapped to the item successfully. The Mapping Status will be changed from Unmapped to Mapped. If the seller maps the item, then it will be changed into Mapped by you. Recently modified date & time will be updated

 



AUTO MAPPING:

Only items with a "Unmapped" mapping status are eligible for auto mapping. Auto Mapping is done by an AI algorithm. If the accuracy rate of mapping exceeds 80 then it will fall into Mapping status, else it falls into Need Review.

 

STEP 6 : To do auto mapping click the Auto Map on the top right corner. Items that more closely fit the chosen category are marked as Mapped. The status of the items whose chosen category isn't more precise are marked as Need Review. After auto mapping, the Mapped By status is changed to Mapped by AI

 

 

STEP 7 : You can view the items separately based on their mapping status in Need Review, Mapped and Unmapped screen

 

Need Review screen:

 

 

Mapped items screen:

 

 

STEP 8 : If the selected category for Need Review item is correct, then click the tick symbol near the category, it turns into green colour. Then click the save button

 

 

The Mapping status of that item will be changed from Need Review to Mapped

 

 

STEP 9 : If you wish to change an already mapped item, select any category for that item  from drop down list and click the save button

 

 

STEP 10 : When a new item is created after completion of mapping (either manual or auto mapping), then it's status will be unmapped

 

 

In this way, using AI technology, you may map your products in your inventory list to their relevant categories.
