Optimizing Your Listings on Coperama

Coperama is a leading B2B marketplace for the hospitality industry, connecting hotels, restaurants, and care facilities with top-tier suppliers. In this specialized procurement environment, precise product categorization is paramount. It ensures your products are visible to professional buyers at the exact moment of need, streamlining their purchasing process and boosting your sales.

When a hotel manager searches for "bulk cotton towels, 500 GSM," your product needs to be in the correct "Linens > Towels > Bath Towels" category, not a generic "Textiles" bin. Coperama's detailed taxonomy is designed for professional buyers who know exactly what they need. Our AI understands the specific attributes of hospitality goods, ensuring your products are classified with the SKU-level precision that buyers expect.

Manually managing catalogs for a B2B marketplace like Coperama is complex. The sheer volume of SKUs, technical specifications, and compliance requirements makes it a resource-draining task. A single error can lead to lost contracts and damaged supplier reputation. Our API automates this entire process, leveraging machine learning trained on millions of procurement data points to deliver unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.

The Coperama Procurement Taxonomy

Coperama's taxonomy is built for the specific needs of the hospitality industry. It's a multi-level structure that organizes products by department, function, and technical specification, enabling efficient bulk purchasing and contract management.

The system allows buyers to drill down to find exactly what they need. For example, a restaurant might search under "F&B > Kitchen Supplies > Cookware > Commercial Grade > Stainless Steel Pots". Correctly placing your products in this hierarchy is the most critical step to being discovered by high-volume buyers.

Best Practices for Coperama Suppliers

To succeed on Coperama, your product data must be impeccable. Combine our AI with these best practices for optimal results.

Use Manufacturer Part Numbers (MPNs)
Always include MPNs and supplier SKU numbers in your product data. Our AI uses these identifiers to improve accuracy and cross-reference with buyer systems.
Specify Units of Measure
Clearly state the unit of measure (e.g., 'Case of 12', '5-gallon pail', 'Pallet of 100'). This is critical for B2B procurement and accurate categorization.
Include Compliance & Certifications
Mention any relevant certifications (e.g., 'NSF Certified', 'Green Seal', 'ECOoperama compliant') to be placed in specialized and high-value categories.
Provide Detailed Technical Specs
For equipment, include dimensions, weight, voltage, material composition, and warranty information. This data is crucial for both categorization and buyer decision-making.
Link to Specification Sheets
While our API works with text, providing links to PDF spec sheets in your data can be used by our advanced services for even deeper analysis and attribute extraction.
Regularly Refresh Your Catalog
Keep your product data on Coperama perfectly in sync with your master catalog by using our API to automate updates and new product introductions.

Frequently Asked Questions for Suppliers

How does this work with negotiated pricing and contracts?
Our service focuses purely on product categorization. It ensures your products are correctly listed so that when a buyer with a negotiated contract searches for an item, they find your SKU in the right place. Pricing and contracts are handled by the Coperama platform itself.
Can the AI differentiate between residential and commercial-grade products?
Yes. Our AI is trained to recognize keywords and specifications that distinguish commercial-grade products (e.g., 'NSF certified', 'high-traffic', 'heavy-duty') from their residential counterparts, which is a critical distinction for B2B buyers.
Does the API support the ECOoperama sustainability initiative?
Yes, our system can identify products that meet ECOoperama standards based on their descriptions and certifications (e.g., 'biodegradable', 'made from recycled materials', 'Energy Star certified') and will suggest the appropriate sustainable categories.
How do you handle new or highly specialized hospitality products?
Our models are constantly learning. For new product types, the AI analyzes the provided description and attributes to find the 'best-fit' category. We also have a human review workflow for enterprise clients to handle exceptions and train the model on new product classes.
What level of integration support do you provide?
We offer multiple tiers of support, from comprehensive online documentation and email support for all users, to dedicated integration engineers and solution architects for our enterprise partners to ensure a seamless connection with your PIM, ERP, or other backend systems.
