About Pompeii3
The Challenge Faced
Pompeii3 encountered a significant operational bottleneck in their jewelry inventory management process, severely impacting business efficiency and profitability.
Manual Cost Calculation Issues
Manual cost calculation was an inefficient and error-prone process, consuming hundreds of hours due to unstructured product data that required expert interpretation for thousands of unique SKUs.
Data Management Problems - Key data points like metal weight and diamond quantity were scattered across unstructured text, making it difficult to manage costs amid volatile market prices and complex supplier rules.
Business Impact - These issues led to inaccurate pricing and potential margin erosion, hindering competitiveness and draining expert resources with slow, manual tasks.
The Solution
A comprehensive AI-powered solution that completely transforms the cost calculation process from manual to automated.
Intelligent Data Processing
- Automated parsing of unstructured product data from Channel Advisor API
- AI-powered interpretation of complex text descriptions (e.g., “seven diamonds, three MM” → quantity: 7, size: 3mm)
- Standardization of supplier-specific part numbers for accurate lookups
- Automatic calculation of individual stone carats from total weight specifications
Real-Time Cost Calculation
- Programmatic cost calculation for metal, labor, diamonds, and gemstones
- Cross-referencing with real-time pricing data stored in Google Sheets
- Supplier-specific pricing logic automatically applied based on product source
- Comprehensive cost breakdown with complete transparency
Streamlined Workflow
