Most online retailers know the problem: Product data is missing, incomplete, or inconsistent.
Manual data maintenance costs time, money, and is prone to errors.
Without automation, crucial attributes for sales are missing.
Where data is inconsistent, filters can't work properly.
Products cannot be found and compared efficiently. Customers bounce.
Bad data makes even the best products invisible.
SpecScout helps and improves visibility, comparability, and orientation.
You send us the product name and brand (e.g. "Dell Latitude 5420").
Our engine searches and analyzes reliable online sources.
Data is verified and normalized according to your needs.
You receive the structured JSON, ready for your database.
We don't just deliver raw data copied from the web. We deliver reliable structures for your shop.
A Google search alone is not enough. Our algorithm compares multiple sources and validates plausibility.
We automatically unify units of measurement and formats so your filters work. Configurable for your individual data standard.
Whether Shopware, Shopify, or custom-built: Our API adapts to your tech stack.
Reliable product data without manual research effort
Decide quickly and securely – even with complex products
Good product data relieves retailers – and builds trust with customers.
Re-Commerce is the future, but it suffers from a huge structural data gap.
Used goods mostly come without a datasheet.
SpecScout finds the relevant data fully automatically and makes second-hand products just as transparent, filterable, and sellable as new goods.
Data even for old, no longer listed devices.
Extends the lifecycle of products.

We create the data foundation for efficient, transparent, and sustainable online commerce.
Background in physics and engineering. Responsible for software architecture and management.

SpecScout delivers the most value where technical product data is time-consuming to find, incomplete or prone to errors, and requires automation.
SpecScout is ideal if:
SpecScout is less suitable if:
As a pilot customer, you get access to SpecScout at a significantly discounted price. Furthermore, you have the opportunity to actively shape SpecScout with us. We prioritize features and integrations that you urgently need and ensure customized, smooth onboarding.
SpecScout is currently an API service. You can retrieve our JSON data directly via a REST interface. Integration into common shop systems like Zapier, n8n, Shopify Flow, Microsoft Power Platform, and many other systems is easily possible. As a pilot customer, you also have the option to request an integration solution tailored to your system.
In principle, yes. SpecScout can be used to fully automate product data management. Optionally, critical fields can be manually checked or approved before publication. We recommend a brief manual check, especially for products that come in several variants, e.g., different storage options for the same smartphone model.
The best filter software is useless if the data basis is incomplete or inconsistent (e.g., mix of mm, cm, inch, etc.). SpecScout delivers the necessary attributes without gaps and in a standardized format. This ensures that products are correctly assigned in search and category filters (faceted search) and do not fall through the cracks.
Yes. You define which attributes are relevant for your shop (e.g., RAM, storage, weight, battery capacity, etc.) and exactly how the data should be output. You can choose and define the specifications relevant to you 100% freely.
It can happen with unusual specifications or poorly documented products that SpecScout finds no matching data. In this case, the specifications in question are transparently listed in our response under "not_found". (Docs)
Yes. Unlike large databases or similar, our algorithm is flexible and not limited to entries existing in a database.
The data comes from various trustworthy sources on the web. All data is double-verified to ensure the highest quality.
We are currently still in the pilot phase, so we are offering significantly discounted prices for our pilot customers at the moment. Feel free to request a demo to receive an individual offer.
Of course. You can receive a preliminary API Key from us upon request, with which you can send up to 200 free requests to our API. Alternatively, you can send us a CSV document with up to 50 test products (Name, Brand) and the required specifications (exact format on request). We will then provide you with the results generated by SpecScout as JSON or CSV.
SpecScout compares technical specifications from multiple independent sources. We only output data if it has been confirmed by at least two independent sources.
No. We use AI as a central component of our algorithm, but we have developed guardrails that reliably eliminate hallucinations in SpecScout.
No. Your product lists serve exclusively for identification and processing. Customer-specific data is not passed on to third parties and is not stored permanently. In the pilot phase, however, we use data from failed requests to improve our algorithm and prevent similar errors in the future.
We are looking for innovative online retailers for our pilot program. Secure early access and help shape SpecScout.
