28 Feb ATAMYA connector in CatalogExpress

Are you looking to seamlessly transfer product data from your ATAMYA Product Cloud by eggheads to various target channels such as Amazon, Conrad, Mercateo, etc.? Or as target formats like BMEcat, XLSX, JSON, CSV, etc.—all efficiently automated and schedule-driven?

Thanks to the ATAMYA Connector, you can optimize the utilization of images, texts, and other product information in CatalogExpress for data distribution and feed management. From there, effortlessly prepare your product data in various formats (FAB-DIS, BMEcat, ETIM xChange, JSON, XML, etc.) and for various channels (online shops, marketplaces, eProcurement platforms, etc.).

Subsequently, you can also automate the distribution of product data. CatalogExpress functions as a bidirectional interface: it not only allows you to combine data from various sources with ATAMYA data, but also to facilitate the import of data such as supplier information or inventory levels. This is possible from multiple platforms like Shopware 6 or, for instance, from your ERP system. Learn more about ATAMYA – powered by eggheads, the ATAMYA connector, and its capabilities in this post.

What is ATAMYA?

The ATAMYA Product Cloud by eggheads is a cloud-native PIM system. The developer eggheads is a German provider with over 30 years of experience based in Bochum. This SaaS tool serves as a “Single Point of Truth”, acting as the central hub for creating and also managing product information. Technically, ATAMYA is built on a modular microservices architecture. This means that users can optionally extend beyond traditional PIM functionalities by integrating additional modules, for instance an ERP module. The solution also offers seamless integration with external systems through a REST API and additional interfaces for efficient data exchange.

With its multi-domain approach, ATAMYA enables the management of various data domains, which can include not only product data but also supplier data, customer data, and marketing information. This allows users to structure and map complex business processes efficiently. For example, different product categories – such as electronics, apparel, or furniture – can be managed with custom attributes (e.g., color, size, material), categories (e.g., women’s fashion, men’s shoes), and also rules (e.g., mandatory fields for specific product types).

What is ATAMYA’s data model?

Regarding its data model, ATAMYA, unlike many other PIM systems, does not rely on a fixed product structure but instead uses a generic “Business Objects” model. Business Objects are customizable data entities that do not necessarily have to be products. They can also represent services, accessories, or any other relevant information. This allows companies to adapt their data structures to their specific requirements. Similar to Akeneo, ATAMYA by eggheads also supports different contexts (comparable to “Scopes” in Akeneo). A context defines which target audience or region specific product data applies to. For example, prices and descriptions may need to be configured differently for various countries or sales channels. Additionally, ATAMYA by eggheads includes a multilingual management system, enabling users to maintain product data in multiple languages.

ATAMYA’s overall architecture follows the MACH principles (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless), ensuring maximum flexibility and scalability for businesses. With an API-first approach, all functionalities are accessible both through the graphical user interface (GUI) and also API endpoints. This allows for seamless integrations with external systems such as ERP software, feed management tools, or data syndication platforms like CatalogExpress. The cloud-native and modular architecture ensures that all actions, processes, and updates can be executed in real-time without downtime. By adhering to the MACH principles, ATAMYA—just like CatalogExpress—follows the Composable Commerce approach. This strategically flexible approach enables businesses to tailor their system infrastructure to meet their specific needs and preferences.

What does the ATAMYA Connector offer?

In addition to the Composable Commerce approach, the ATAMYA connector in CatalogExpress offers numerous other possibilities.

ATAMYA Amazon Connector

Effortlessly exchange product information bidirectionally between your Pimcore PIM, ERP, and Amazon with the Pimcore Amazon Connector in CatalogExpress. This means real-time transfer of product descriptions, images, and more from Pimcore to Amazon. Simultaneously, receive order and inventory data from Amazon to keep your ERP system up to date. Integrate various source systems or files, enabling connections with your ERP system to synchronize order information or price updates directly with Amazon. CatalogExpress acts as a middleware, facilitating near real-time data exchange. Automate order fulfillment, invoicing, delivery status, and shipping on Amazon to boost visibility, optimize processes, and minimize errors.

ATAMYA Shopware Connector

With the ATAMYA-Shopware Connector, you can exchange data seamlessly between ATAMYA and Shopware 6 – in both directions. Real-time synchronization allows a seamless alignment of product information from ATAMYA with your Shopware shop. This includes inventory, product variants, customer data, prices, and delivery options. If needed, you can retrieve this information from other sources such as EXCEL or your ERP system.

ATAMYA BMEcat Connector

Automate and implement data standards like BMEcat 2005, BMEcat 1.2 or ETIM xChange with an ETIM or ECLASS classification in real-time using the ATAMYA BMEcat Connector in CatalogExpress. This ensures smooth supply to wholesalers (e.g., Sonepar, DEHA, Rexel, etc.) and B2B platforms like Mercateo Unite or InstallData. Additionally, classification and version changes in CatalogExpress become significantly easier.

Data Onboarding

CatalogExpress makes your data onboarding from suppliers, purchasing groups, or industry portals (such as Open-Data-Check, Mitegro, etc.) very easy. Regardless of the format in which you receive data—be it XLSX, CSV, XML, JSON, FAB-DIS, DATANORM, BMEcat, or ETIM xChange among others — CatalogExpress is capable of a quick and smooth transformation of all data formats for an optimized integration into your ATAMYA PIM system.

Additional Feed Management Options

Benefit from maximized flexibility. Automatically generate product feeds in various formats, including JSON, XML, BMEcat with classifications (e.g., ETIM, ECLASS, GPC, UNSPSC etc.), DATANORM, FAB-DIS, EXCEL, and more.

Expand your omnichannel distribution further. Seamlessly utilize the ATAMYA connector to supply channels like eBay, Amazon, Mercateo, Conrad, Otto, simple system, GS1, 2BA, InstallData and many more with your product data.

Your benefits with the ATAMYA Connector

These different role management options ensure that the right recipients always receive high-quality data. By automating your omnichannel sales, you save valuable time and significantly improve collaboration with your customers and eCommerce partners.
