Use Case: Multilingual Product Catalog Searches

General Description:
Managing multilingual catalogs allows global companies to organize and access product information in multiple languages. A model that translates, segments, and organizes catalogs and uses semantic searches offers fast and accurate access to key data such as product specifications, prices, and availability. This is ideal for sectors like e-commerce, manufacturing, and global distribution, enabling contextual and personalized queries based on customer needs.

How It Works:

1. Uploading Catalogs in PDF or Similar Formats:

• Users upload product catalogs in different languages, including specifications, prices, images, and descriptions.

1. Automatic Translation and Segmentation:

• The model automatically translates the catalogs into the required language while maintaining technical accuracy.
• It organizes the information into key categories such as:
  • Technical Specifications: Size, weight, materials, functions.
  • Prices and Promotions: Base costs, applicable discounts, regional prices.
  • Availability: Distribution regions, real-time inventory.

1. Multilingual Semantic Searches:

• Users perform specific queries such as:
  • “What products meet ISO certifications?”
  • “Search for laptops available in Europe with touchscreens.”
  • “Spare parts catalog for industrial machinery.”

1. Generation of Summaries and Comparisons:

• The model generates summaries highlighting:
  • Most relevant products based on the query.
  • Key differences between similar products.
  • Specific information according to the region or language.

1. Storing in a Vector Database:

• The translated and organized data is stored for quick searches and future analysis.

Practical Example:

• Organization into categories such as:
  • Laptops: Technical specifications (processor, RAM, storage).
  • Accessories: Availability by region, compatibility with main devices.

1. Multilingual Semantic Search:

• Users query:
  • “What laptops with Intel i7 processors are available in Europe?”
  • The system responds with:
  • Laptop 1: Intel i7 processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, available in Germany.
  • Laptop 2: Intel i7 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, available in Spain.

1. Generating Comparative Summaries:

• The model generates a report that includes:
  • Available products by region.
  • Key differences in technical features and prices.
  • Recommendations based on availability and promotions.

1. Report Output:

• The sales team receives a consolidated analysis that facilitates handling multilingual customer requests with precise and relevant data.

Without the model:

• The team manually translates and organizes each catalog, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
  With the model:
• The system automatically translates and segments the catalogs, generating a report that includes:
  • Available Products: Heavy machinery and spare parts with technical descriptions.
  • Regions: Availability and prices in Europe, North America, and Asia.
  • Recommendations: Highlighting machinery with higher demand in each region.

Conclusion:
Automated management of multilingual catalogs through translation, segmentation, and semantic searches optimizes access to key information, improving efficiency in sales, marketing, and technical support. This model is ideal for companies operating in global markets that need to offer accurate, up-to-date information adapted to different languages and cultural contexts.
