Product information (PIM)
Informatica Product 360
Items, products or variants of a catalogue are read — in full, only those changed since the last run, per structure group or by a search condition. They come out as Commerce Bundle products with their images from the Media Manager and from there go into every shop; the structure groups become the category tree, hierarchy included.
In the other direction, Product 360 takes master data from the ERP or from a supplier catalogue. Product 360 is connected in your own data centre as well as in the Cloud Edition.
Delisted items are deleted only after a dry run has shown what would be deleted.

Building blocks
Eight building blocks for Informatica Product 360
- Read productsRead
Reads items, products or variants of a catalogue as Commerce Bundle products, with their images from the Media Manager — in full, changes only, per structure group or by a search condition. A mapping table sets which field fills which product field, in which language and with which price.
- Read structure groupsRead
Reads the structure groups as the category tree, hierarchy included.
- Read dataRead
Reads further data from Product 360 with the fields you choose — for everything that does not go into the shop as a product.
- Read sub recordsRead
Reads product references such as accessories and spare parts, prices and texts per language as sub records, together with the item they belong to.
- Write productsWrite
Creates or changes items in Product 360 from the ERP or a supplier catalogue. Only the mapped fields are changed.
- Upload mediaWrite
Uploads images and files into the Media Manager without storing existing ones twice.
- DeleteWrite
Deletes delisted items — only the ones named, and only after a dry run that shows what would be deleted.
- Free request
For everything there is no ready-made building block for: a request to the API, with the stored credentials.
In practice
Two workflows with Informatica Product 360
Product data from the PIM
Product 360 maintains, the shop displays — with the same category tree.
- Triggerschedule
- Readstructure groups as the category tree
- Readitems from Product 360, changes only, with images from the Media Manager
- WriteShopware 6, Shopify or another shop
One mapping onto the Commerce Bundle; a second shop is one more target building block.
Master data into Product 360
Items are created in the ERP or arrive in a supplier's catalogue; delisted ones should disappear from the PIM.
- Readitems from the ERP or a supplier catalogue
- Writeitems into Product 360, only the mapped fields
- Upload mediaimages and files into the Media Manager
- Deletedelisted items, as a dry run first
Only what is named is deleted, and only after the dry run has shown what would be deleted. Existing images are not stored twice.
