Folio3 Data Services partnered with Schlumberger to modernize its OFMP platform using an AI solution for eCommerce product management that automates data extraction and manages complex product listings for non-technical vendors.
Home » Case Studies » OFMP AI data extraction
Project Overview
Schlumberger’s Oil Field Marketplace Platform (OFMP) serves as a global B2B eCommerce hub connecting oilfield equipment vendors with buyers. However, the platform’s product listing process was complex and time-consuming, especially for non-technical vendors managing thousands of SKUs, specifications, and variants.
To solve this, Folio3 deployed its pre-built solution of AI-driven ecommerce product data extraction designed to automate data extraction, simplify variant management, and enhance customer experience.
Through intelligent document processing, natural language interfaces, and an integrated platform assistant, the solution transformed OFMP’s manual workflows into a seamless, automated ecosystem that reduced product listing time from hours to minutes while improving data accuracy and consistency across the OFMP marketplace.
Case Study Shortcut
Challenges
As Schlumberger expanded its Oil Field Marketplace Platform (OFMP), vendors faced increasing difficulty managing complex product listings for technical oilfield equipment. The platform’s detailed requirements spanning hundreds of product attributes created significant barriers for non-technical users. Manual data entry, unstructured information formats, and complex variant management workflows made the listing process time-consuming and error-prone.
Complex Product Listings
Vendors had to enter 100–200 technical specifications per product manually, often sourced from unstructured brochures and PDFs, making listings error-prone and time-consuming.
Non-Technical Vendor Base
Most vendors are domain experts, not digital professionals, and struggled to adapt to complex platform functionalities and manual SKUs management processes.
Unstructured Data Formats
Product information arrived in inconsistent formats, such as tables, text blocks, and images, complicating accurate data mapping and validation.
SKU Management Overload
Adding, updating, or removing product variants required repetitive manual actions, significantly slowing down operations.
Solution: Ecommerce Product Data Extraction Solution
The primary objective was to simplify and automate Schlumberger’s OFMP product management workflows by leveraging AI solution for eCommerce product management, intelligent document processing, and natural language interfaces. The solution aimed to eliminate manual entry bottlenecks, enhance vendor experience, and accelerate product onboarding for the oilfield marketplace.
Key goals included:
- Automated ecommerce product data extraction from unstructured brochures, PDFs, and technical documents using AI.
- Enable natural language interactions for product variant management, allowing vendors to make updates through simple conversational commands.
- Improve data accuracy and consistency across all product listings with structured e-commerce product catalog automation.
- Enhance vendor experience by minimizing technical barriers and reducing dependence on manual workflows or platform support.
- Accelerate time-to-market by cutting product listing time from hours to minutes through intelligent document processing for e-commerce.
Outcome
The collaboration between Schlumberger and Folio3 Data Services redefined how vendors interact with the OFMP platform. By embedding AI solution for eCommerce product management, the marketplace evolved into an intelligent, user-friendly ecosystem that streamlines product listings, and accelerates time-to-market.
