Anamet Canada is a member of ETIM North America.
Anamet was asked by one of its distributors to produce ETIM data. Without Rastro, doing it carefully would have been a months-long project.
“Rastro took it off my desk and put it in our distributors’ hands.”
Using Rastro to adopt ETIM
Anamet was asked by many of its distributors, including AD, to include for its products. Doing this manually could have taken weeks of effort.
Instead, Anamet used Rastro, and uploaded a full ERP extract of its current catalog data, a lot of it unstructured in PDFs, descriptions, and free text. Within 30 minutes, Rastro had read each datasheet, classified every product to a class in ETIM North America’s English translation, and filled in the features it could support, with the source and a confidence score on every value. Where a datasheet was silent, the field stayed empty. ETIM 10 was pre-loaded into the software, allowing Anamet to drop in their existing data without reformatting it.

What Anamet received
Every value came back reviewable against its source, so Anamet’s team could check the work before anything shipped. With their review done, the data could be shared with their distributors immediately, in BMECAT and Excel formats.

Built to be trusted
Rastro made sure each prediction could be trusted. Catalogs are versioned, inferences are backed by cited sources, and confidence values are clearly communicated when a human expert is needed in the loop.
“Rastro highlighted the places where it needed our expertise, and the ones where the model could already fill in the data. We always knew which was which.”
Growing the ETIM standard
Rastro also generates RFCs automatically, to grow the ETIM standard in North America where translations are needed. On the Anamet project, 6 RFCs were generated to evolve the standard.
“ETIM makes a manufacturer’s products easy to find across all their distributors’ websites. With new platforms like Rastro, getting onto the standard has never been simpler.”
