How we classified 1,200 SKUs in 3 days instead of 6 weeks and helped win a UAH 4.2 million tender
A medical equipment distributor was preparing for a tender to supply 1,200 items. Manual classification of a single SKU took the in-house logistics specialist 12–15 minutes. The whole catalogue would have needed 5–6 weeks. The tender deadline was 10 days. A mistake in a UKTZED code would have meant disqualification.
We applied an AI product classification model trained on the customs database and technical descriptions. We processed the whole catalogue in 2 days. Then a team of customs experts spot-checked the 15% of items where the algorithm's uncertainty was highest.
The catalogue was ready in 3 days. Classification accuracy was 98.7%. The client submitted its tender bid on time and won a UAH 4.2 million contract. Time saved — 90% compared with manual processing.
"We thought we could not cope without hiring five new logistics specialists. The AI did the work over a weekend, and BROER's experts checked the critical items."— Head of the tender department
