Integration of Akeneo v.1 into the Snow Queen infrastructure

Product categories

The dynamics of changing seasons of the Snow Queen's product collections needed to constantly update the “Main Product Category” and then move to the “Outlet” category.

As a standard, PIM allows you to change only the category of one specific product.

PIM improvements have made it possible to add, transfer and delete products to specific categories. Thus, the next change of season began to take place much faster.

Product category statuses

PIM does not normally support displaying category status.

Our developers have introduced the ability to manage the status of categories whose data goes directly to Magento.

The customer wanted PIM to be able to display the visibility of the status of the product category, with the ability to change it.

Compliance tables

The customer used KAIS for internal use of product information. This system complicated the process of editing information, as it displayed data in a technical language.

When integrating KAIS data with PIM, our developers added an algorithm that made it possible to translate the numerical and alphabetical designation of articles into an understandable language for an online store.

Product associations

Integrating an online store with PIM helped one product connect to products in other categories.

Thus, the Look product category contributed to the sale of not one, but several products at once.

Site photo content

PIM usually allows you to upload a single photo.

Our developers have made it possible to bulk upload and download photos for further processing, as well as specify in PIM which product photo will be the main one on the site and which will be displayed when you hover over the cursor.

Displays product availability by city

By integrating PIM with Elastic, our developers have made it possible to display information about product availability by city in PIM.

The customer wanted PIM to show the status of the product — in stock or out of stock.
