Ergonode integration
As it is an open-source platform Ergonode makes it easy to enable customisation and extensions.
Additionally, Integrating Ergonode (PIM) with the most popular e-commerce platform is a priority which the company emphasises. Ergonode offer a wide range of connectors with online shops and is already connected to the fastest-growing open-source e-commerce system in the world (Shopware 6). The company is forging ahead in this area, currently developing connectors for PrestaShop, Sylius and Magento, Shopify and BigCommerce.
In terms of specific functionality, Ergonode’s syndication dashboard shows precisely which data is delivered to which marketplace and what the data’s completeness score is. Once it is complete, the dashboard indicates as such. complete and correct product information in the format required by a given marketplace is ensured.
Ergonode syndication
Ergonode syndication enables the automatic transfer of enriched product information to e-commerce channels while keeping their completeness and quality. Ergonode actually serves as a ‘middleware system,’ where product data is structured, organized, and then imported into large-size platforms like Magento. When information changes for, say a thousand products, only that information which has changed is transferred to the system rather than all. Ergonode also automates the mapping of data from all sources and finally transfers it to platforms and marketplaces in the requisite forms.
