Heureka Group deployed AI to automate product catalogs, cut loss by a fifth
Heureka Group has deployed artificial intelligence to automate product data – it processes 5 mln. product matches, 4 mln. parameters, and 300 thousand descriptions every month. The company also cut its annual loss by a fifth to CZK 321 mln.
The Heureka Group of comparison shopping sites reported revenue growth of roughly one percent to CZK 2.2 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2026, and a reduction in losses of roughly a fifth to CZK 321 million. The company's operating profit (EBITDA) slightly declined from 606 to 586 million CZK, while free cash flow rose to CZK 310 million.
According to the company, it is increasingly automating and deploying artificial intelligence in product data management processes. CEO David Chmelař states that productivity in some processes has increased a hundredfold. Heureka Group now processes 5 million manual product matches, adds 4 million new parameters, and generates 300 thousand new product descriptions every month.
The group operates in nine countries of Central and Southeastern Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina) and is visited by up to 30 million users monthly.
Why it matters
This shows a concrete example of AI use in everyday e-commerce operations – not as an experiment, but as a deployed part of processes that handle millions of items every month. For companies with large product catalogs, this is a signal that automating product matching, parametrization, and descriptions can bring an order-of-magnitude increase in productivity, although the figures on a "hundredfold increase" come from the company itself and are not independently verified.
Relevant practical impact
What this means
For a business
Companies running e-shops or product catalogs could significantly cut costs on manual product data management by deploying similar automation; Heureka Group reports a hundredfold increase in productivity in some processes.
