CommerceClarity, an AI agent platform for catalogue operations used by enterprise retailers and brands including Prada, STIGA, Cisalfa Sport, Arcaplanet, Next Hardware & Software and Top Farmacia (Hippocrates Holding), has acquired Barcelona-based startup Katalogo.ai. As part of the transaction, Katalogo.ai founder Luca Cozzolino will join CommerceClarity's founding team as Chief Product Officer.
The acquisition marks CommerceClarity’s first M&A transaction, completed 18 months after the company was founded and six months after it raised €2.7 million in funding.
The acquisition brings together two companies working to address the growing complexity of product catalogue management in e-commerce. As retailers expand across multiple channels, markets and marketplaces, and as AI-powered search and shopping agents increasingly influence product discovery, the quality and structure of product data have become critical factors in online visibility and performance.
CommerceClarity has developed an AI-powered platform that helps retailers and brands structure, enrich and validate catalogue data across sales channels. The platform acts as an intelligence layer that enables businesses to manage catalogue operations at scale while maintaining data quality and compliance requirements.
Katalogo.ai was focused on building AI-powered styling agents for retail catalogues, capable of analysing available products and generating curated outfit and product recommendations. The company’s technology was designed to help fashion and lifestyle brands create more personalised shopping experiences while maximising the value of their product data.
We had identified the same problem from two different angles. Luca approached it from the merchant and platform side, while we focused on enterprise infrastructure. Bringing the two approaches together allows us to accelerate the development of a shared vision,
said Federico Sargenti, co-founder and CEO of CommerceClarity.
Cozzolino brings experience across e-commerce, retail and product development, having held product leadership roles at Shopify and Zalando. At Katalogo.ai, he focused on developing solutions to the growing challenges of product catalogue management.
When I met the CommerceClarity team, it became clear that our expertise was highly complementary. Joining forces creates an opportunity to accelerate product development and pursue a larger vision for the future of commerce,
says Cozzolino.
The acquisition coincides with CommerceClarity’s international expansion, with the UK becoming the company’s first market outside Italy.
As it expands internationally, CommerceClarity said it will continue to scale its AI-driven catalogue operations platform and its “Service as a Software” model, under which dedicated AI engineers work alongside customers to deploy and optimise catalogue management agents across product categories.
