Product Exploration
Explore competitor product matches across all vendors in your workspace. Review AI-suggested matches, confirm or reject them, and see how your products are mapped across the competitive landscape.
On This Page
Overview
The Product Exploration page gives you a comprehensive view of how competitor products are matched to your catalog. It combines data from your tracked products, confirmed product mappings, and AI-suggested matches into a single, searchable table.
Use this page to discover new competitor matches the AI has found, confirm or reject them, and review the overall mapping landscape across all your vendors.
Where to Find It
Exploration Tabs
The exploration page is organized into three tabs, each providing a different perspective on your product data:
📊 Workspace
Shows all products across your entire workspace — your own catalog products, confirmed competitor matches, and AI-suggested matches. This is the most complete view of your product landscape. The Products by Vendor chart appears here with a breakdown of confirmed vs. suggested matches per vendor.
🏷️ Your Catalog
Shows only your own products from your tracked products list. This is useful for quickly reviewing what's in your catalog and checking which of your products have competitor matches.
🔍 Competitor
Shows only competitor products — both confirmed matches and AI-suggested matches. Use this tab to focus on reviewing and managing competitor product mappings. The Track button appears here for suggested matches that haven't been confirmed yet.
Understanding Source Types
Each row in the exploration table has a source type badge that tells you how the product was identified:
Own Product
A product from your own catalog (tracked products list). These are the products you've added to Nesika for price monitoring. They appear with an “Own Product” badge.
Confirmed Match
A competitor product that has been confirmed as a match to one of your products. These mappings are actively used for price comparisons in your scans. Confirmed matches show a “Tracked” badge and have a Stop Tracking option.
Suggested Match
A competitor product that the AI has suggested as a potential match but hasn't been confirmed yet. These appear with a Track button so you can review and confirm the match if it's correct.
Filter by Source Type
Tracking & Linking Products
When you find a suggested competitor match you want to confirm, click the Track button. This opens a modal where you can choose which of your products to link the competitor product to.
Click Track on a Suggested Match
In the exploration table, find a row with the “Suggested Match” source badge. Click the Track button on that row, or open the side panel and click Track there.
Select Your Products
A modal appears showing all your products that the competitor item is suggested for. If the competitor product matches multiple of your products, you can select one or more to link. Products already confirmed are shown as read-only with a green badge.
Confirm the Link
Click Link Selected to confirm the match. The competitor product will change from “Suggested Match” to “Confirmed Match” and will be included in your future price comparison scans.
Multi-Product Matching
Stop Tracking
If a confirmed match is no longer relevant — perhaps the competitor product has changed or the match was incorrect — you can stop tracking it.
Open the Side Panel
Click on a row with a “Confirmed Match” source to open the detail side panel.
Click Stop Tracking
In the side panel, click the Stop Tracking button. The product mapping will be unlinked and the product will revert to a “Suggested Match” status — it won't disappear from the table.
Reversible Action
Products by Vendor Chart
On the Workspace and Competitor tabs, a stacked bar chart shows how many products each vendor has, broken down by:
- Confirmed — Products with confirmed mappings (green)
- Suggested — AI-suggested matches awaiting review (amber)
Hover over any bar segment to see the exact confirmed, suggested, and total counts for that vendor. The chart excludes your own company, focusing only on competitor vendors.
