Data Export E-catalogs

Easily Configure XML and Excel Exports and Make Them Available to Trading Partners

One of the most important tasks in digital product communication is the provision of data for online catalogs, stores, third-party systems, retail partners and portals. For this purpose, electronic catalogs with a customer-specific product range and price list are created in the crossbase database. The mapping of the fields to the content in the database can be defined individually depending on the format or classification.

Advantages of data export

  • Individual catalogs with customer-specific product range and prices
  • Flexible export formats such as BMEcat, Excel, XML, GAEB, ETIM, ECLASS
  • Automated exports with configurable schedules
  • Classification mapping for standardized data structures
  • Seamless integration with online catalogs, stores and portals

Function Overview

Excel export

The Excel export takes place in two steps. First, a template is created and the required content is defined. In the second step, the export is carried out. Several options are available for this, such as exporting the items based on a previously defined range or an item list.

Additional functions

Additional functions such as filling trading partner templates with their article numbers, completing columns or rows of an existing Excel file and much more are available.

Standard classifications

The classifications ECLASS, ECLASS advanced, ETIM, ETIM MC and UNSPSC are fully supported by crossbase. The classification import enables the partial import of relevant subject areas. After the import, the products can be classified. As the imported data usually does not correspond to these standard classifications, crossbase offers the option of matching features and catalog groups via "classification mapping".

Flexible XML format extension

The crossbase database can be flexibly expanded to include individual XML formats. For this purpose, an export corresponding to the specifications is derived from XML structures. The data export can be carried out manually or at specific times as well as automatically as a complete or data export. These settings are saved in an export configuration for this purpose. The result is an XML file and a file directory with the media files.
