CEO, Sleek Sartor
Project Overview
Sleek Sartor is a fast-growing eCommerce retailer with a catalogue exceeding 10,000 SKUs, selling internationally via Shopify. Cleer built and integrated a custom AI pipeline that automated HS-code and category classification, enriched product content, and added predictive analytics, eliminating manual work and unlocking data-driven growth.
The Challenge
Manual product classification was a scaling bottleneck. Assigning HS-Codes and categories by hand caused customs delays, inconsistent taxonomy, weak SEO, and heavy operational load, making it hard to expand the catalogue and markets without spiralling costs.
Pain points
Manual classification slowed every release and blocked scale
Wrong HS codes caused customs holds, fines, and returns
Inconsistent categories hurt search, filters, and SEO
Inconsistent categories hurt search, filters, and SEO
Teams spent too many hours cleaning data instead of trading
Business Goals
Remove manual HS code and category work across the whole catalogue
Cut cost per SKU while boosting daily throughput
Improve accuracy, trade compliance, and data consistency across markets
Grow organic traffic and conversion with richer structured product content
Enable proactive merchandising with clear, predictive insight

We designed a Shopify native AI pipeline to automate product data operations end to end and surface proactive, revenue impacting insights.

Intelligent classification: Custom trained models assign HS code and category with confidence scoring, with optional human in the loop review when confidence dips.
SEO rich enrichment: Vision and text models generate on brand titles and descriptions from images and specs to lift search, on site discovery, and conversion.
