CommerceClarity, an AI agent platform for
catalogue operations used by enterprise retailers and brands including Prada,
STIGA, Cisalfa Sport, Arcaplanet, Next Hardware & Software and Top Farmacia
(Hippocrates Holding), has acquired Barcelona-based startup Katalogo.ai. As
part of the transaction, Katalogo.ai founder Luca Cozzolino will join
CommerceClarity’s founding team as Chief Product Officer.
The acquisition marks CommerceClarity’s first
M&A transaction, completed 18 months after the company was founded and six
months after it raised €2.7 million in funding.
The acquisition brings together two companies
working to address the growing complexity of product catalogue management in
e-commerce. As retailers expand across multiple channels, markets and
marketplaces, and as AI-powered search and shopping agents increasingly
influence product discovery, the quality and structure of product data have
become critical factors in online visibility and performance.
CommerceClarity has developed an AI-powered
platform that helps retailers and brands structure, enrich and validate catalogue
data across sales channels. The platform acts as an intelligence layer that
enables businesses to manage catalogue operations at scale while maintaining data
quality and compliance requirements.
Katalogo.ai was focused on building
AI-powered styling agents for retail catalogues, capable of analysing available
products and generating curated outfit and product recommendations. The
company’s technology was designed to help fashion and lifestyle brands create
more personalisedshopping experiences while maximising the value of their
product data.
We had identified the same problem from two
different angles. Luca approached it from the merchant and platform side, while
we focused on enterprise infrastructure. Bringing the two approaches together
allows us to accelerate the development of a shared vision,
said Federico Sargenti, co-founder and CEO of
CommerceClarity.
Cozzolino brings
experience across e-commerce, retail and product development, having held
product leadership roles at Shopify and Zalando. At Katalogo.ai, he focused on
developing solutions to the growing challenges of product catalogue management.
When I met the
CommerceClarity team, it became clear that our expertise was highly
complementary. Joining forces creates an opportunity to accelerate product
development and pursue a larger vision for the future of commerce,
says Cozzolino.
The acquisition coincides with
CommerceClarity’s international expansion, with the UK becoming the company’s
first market outside Italy.
As it expands internationally, CommerceClarity
said it will continue to scale its AI-driven catalogue operations platform and
its “Service as a Software” model, under which dedicated AI engineers work
alongside customers to deploy and optimise catalogue management agents across
product categories.
