Anglera + Lengow

The bottom line

Keep Lengow to push your catalogue to 1,600+ marketplaces and ad channels; add Anglera upstream to build the record it distributes — supplier PDFs mined, attributes discovered, every value cited and written back to your PIM.

Lengow and Anglera solve different halves of the problem — this page is about the seam between them.

The frame for this comparison

Product data is a practice, not a project.

Lengow moves the catalogue you already have onto 90+ marketplaces in each one's required shape, and Anglera works alongside it — this comparison is about the fields that were never in the catalogue to begin with, and about the new blanks that appear every time a channel changes what it requires or a supplier ships a range with a thinner spec sheet.

01

Ground it

Mine every spec from every source.

Every value traced to a document you can open. The catalog is only as honest as what it was built from.

02

Align it

Aim the catalog at the buyer who actually buys.

Grounded data still loses if it answers questions nobody asked. Alignment is what turns specs into conversion.

03

Keep it alive

Product data is a practice, not a project.

Markets move, suppliers reissue, buyers change what they ask for. A catalog that is right in March is wrong by August unless something is watching.

What “buyer signals” actually means

Six signals sitting in your market right now.

“Buyer signals” is the emptiest phrase in this category, so here is the literal thing. Each of these is an observation from a live market, the gap it exposes, and the field that gets created as a result.

Marketplace signal·Marketplace feed validation report, women's outerwear

47 parkas held on a German-market upload with "required attribute missing: lining composition". Shell composition is populated on every SKU; the lining field is empty on everything from two suppliers.

The feed carried exactly what the catalogue held. Lining composition was never captured — it sits in the supplier's tech pack PDF, so there is no source field to extract from, merge, or reformat.

Field createdlining_compositionGeneric fibre names (polyamide, polyester, viscose, wool) with integer percentages summing to 100 — not "100% Nylon", not "Poly lining".
Review signal·Product reviews and returns comments, cantilever parasols

"Base hole is 48 mm, the pole on this one is 38 mm. Shimmed it with cardboard." Three versions of the same complaint across the parasol and parasol-base ranges, plus returns coded "wrong fit".

Pole diameter and base aperture are blank across both ranges, so a parasol and the base that fits it can't be matched on-site or on any channel. Shoppers are doing the fitment check in the review section, after purchase.

Field createdpole_diameter_mm / base_aperture_mmInteger millimetres, single unit. Reject "approx 48", "1.9 in", "48/38 mm adaptor incl.".
Search signal·On-site search logs and zero-result queries, sun care

"non nano zinc", "mineral only spf50" and "reef safe sunscreen" all trending in site search and all returning zero results, while the SKUs that satisfy them are in stock and syndicating fine.

Filter type exists only inside the INCI ingredient free-text blob. Present as prose, absent as an attribute — so it can't be faceted, can't be segmented on for a marketplace publish, and can't be matched to how buyers actually ask.

Field createduv_filter_typeMineral | Chemical | Hybrid, plus a separate non_nano boolean — derived from the INCI list, governed, not free text.
Why catalogs rot

Feed health is not shelf health

A syndicator's job is to get what's in the catalogue out the door in each channel's shape — Lengow's own framing of the problems it addresses is "format mismatches and upload failures" and "time-consuming mapping for every marketplace." Those are routing problems, and they are solvable. Completeness is a different failure. Rules reshape fields that already hold values: extract from one field to supplement another, merge sources, restandardise a title per channel. A blank stays blank in every channel it reaches. Where a channel makes the field mandatory, the upload rejects loudly; where it doesn't, the listing publishes and simply doesn't rank or convert. Then it compounds — a marketplace adds a required attribute, a supplier ships a range with a thinner spec sheet, a category tree splits. Lengow moves the feed and enforces each channel's format. Someone still has to fill the fields, and usually nobody owns that.

Messy in, governed out.

Values are normalized into a governed, versioned set of allowed values — so a filter works, and keeps working after the next import.

Nominal Size

0.75 in (DN20)

Six suppliers, six spellings, one physical size. Filters only work once they agree.

Free text makes a colour filter useless. A governed value makes it a facet.

SS316316 StainlessStainless Steel 316A4 Stainless
Stainless Steel — 316 / A4

Same alloy, four vocabularies, plus a trade name. Buyers search all of them.

And the part nobody else does

We don't just fill the template you handed us.

Filling the fields you defined has an invisible ceiling: a catalog can hit 100% complete and still miss the attribute that loses the sale, because completeness is measured against a schema someone drew years ago. Schema Foundry reads competitor listings, buyer searches, review complaints and your supplier docs, and proposes the fields you never defined — which is where Lengow stops.

How Schema Foundry works
Schema Foundry: signals from reviews, search logs, competitor listings and supplier documents reveal attributes missing from your schema; the Foundry discovers, normalizes and governs them, so your schema ends the cycle with more fields than it started with.

What Lengow does
