Data is very important in an information-driven world, and Appliance.io, a purpose-built software platform for appliance dealers and retailers, is proud to announce its integration with Skulytics, the leading provider of structured, enriched appliance product data—thus enabling Appliance.io to lead the evolution by accelerating high-impact feature releases.
With the rise of the internet and online shopping, more than 60% of modern consumers research a product online before buying, even when they’re planning to buy at brick-and-mortar stores. While this is great, it often leads to consumer confusion, as many dealers and retailers often source their product data from different sources, such as manufacturers and other dealers.
Sadly, many of those sources don’t play by the book, and not all products are the same for different regions, resulting in incoherent product data, such as dimensions, product specifications, and power ratings (among other things). This further leads to more confusion, cart abandonment, and even costly returns.
Well, Appliance.io is here to offer a solution—a unified software platform that enables independent modern retailers and dealers to streamline their operations, from quoting and eCommerce to delivery and inventory management. To be able to deliver lightning-fast results, Appliance.io relies on Skulytics as the foundation for consistent, reliable product content that serves both the retailer and the consumer.
“We’re not trying to fix data—we’re building tools that dealers actually need,” said Jonathon Slyman, Founder & CEO of Appliance.io. “Because Skulytics handles the product layer, our team can focus 100% on launching smarter workflows faster.”
Backed by Skulytics’ real-time data infrastructure, Appliance.io has recently launched several impactful tools for appliance retailers. These include dynamic digital price tags, self-scheduling delivery modules, internal credit-line tracking for builder SKUs, and auto-synced open-box listings.
Each of these tools is designed to eliminate as many manual steps as possible, as well as inherent data entry errors that are typically associated with manual entry, thus empowering dealers with accurate and up-to-date product information.
Thanks to Skulytics’ API, every SKU, product specification, high-resolution image, product dimension, warranty terms, and other data are automatically synced and verified across all retail platforms and POS systems.
This means that retailers no longer have to waste time sourcing product information, verifying said information, and uploading it to their own website or point-of-sale. Now, with the help of Appliance.io, retailers can simply rely on clean, normalized data that’s ready to go.
But what really separates Appliance.io from other platforms—particularly older ones—is the complete lack of rigid, all-in-one software ecosystems and reliance on a modular and API-first approach. This allows dealers to select only the tools they need while also ensuring that every piece of the platform works and integrates seamlessly.
By using Skulytics as its core data engine, Appliance.io is avoiding the pitfalls of bloated and inflexible platforms backed by inconsistent data. Instead, it delivers a lightweight, powerful solution that addresses the ever-changing needs not just of appliance dealers and retailers but also their customers.
“Other platforms are still solving basic infrastructure problems,” Slyman said. “We’ve already moved on to building what comes next.”
Given the growth of digital platforms and the needs of consumers, speed and flexibility are no longer optional; they’re imperative. Appliance.io’s partnership with Skulytics allows the company to reallocate some of its resources from verifying data to driving innovation now that its data is accurate and always up to date.
