Tutorial outcome

What you will have after you model a retail vertical.

By the end, the team has one agreed retail area, the product families inside it and a clear owner for future standard-setting decisions.

Working steps

Start with the way shoppers and teams understand the range: fashion, electronics, grocery, hardware, pharmacy or another retail area.

Vertical: Fashion & Apparel

Separate families that need different facts. Shoes, apparel and accessories can share a retail area while keeping different required details.

Contexts: Footwear, Apparel, Accessories

Name the team or person who can approve new families, accepted values and standard changes before they affect live products.

Owner: Catalog operations
