Product data integration

Your products and prices, kept up to date in Salesforce — automatically.

This middleware reads your product information from Ergonode and your prices from Exact Online, and writes both into Salesforce on a schedule, without anyone retyping anything. Ergonode stays the place where product data is maintained and Exact Online where prices are decided; Salesforce simply follows.

Ergonode This middleware Salesforce One-way. Nothing is written back into Ergonode.

What it does

Product information lives in one place and ends up everywhere it is needed, in the right form, without manual work.

Reads from Ergonode

Products and their attributes are fetched from your Ergonode. Only what changed since the last run is looked at, so it stays quick even with a large catalogue.

Writes to Salesforce

New products are created, existing ones updated — matched on their Ergonode reference, so a re-run never produces a second copy. Prices follow the product they belong to.

You decide the rules

Which Ergonode field fills which Salesforce field, which products to leave out, and which parts of the sync run at all. All of it is set on screen, not in code — and the Salesforce field list is read from your own organisation, so a field added this morning is available this afternoon.

Several companies at once

One installation serves several customers, and a customer can have more than one Salesforce organisation — per country or per brand — each set up differently.

How it works

Every run does the same four things, on a schedule you choose.

  1. 1

    Read

    Products and attributes are fetched from Ergonode — only what changed.

  2. 2

    Apply your rules

    Excluded products are skipped; everything else is prepared using your field mappings.

  3. 3

    Compare

    The middleware checks what it last sent to Salesforce and works out what actually needs to change. Unchanged products are left alone.

  4. 4

    Write

    The changes go into Salesforce — products first, then their prices. Anything that cannot be processed is flagged and retried.

One-way, on purpose. The source always wins. Products follow Ergonode and prices follow Exact Online; Salesforce is updated to match, never the other way round. Nothing is ever written back.

What can be synced

Each part can be switched on or off per customer, so you get what you need and nothing else. Products are always on, because everything else builds on them: Salesforce cannot hold a price for a product it does not know about yet.

Products always on
Creates and updates the products themselves in Salesforce, from Ergonode. Everything else builds on this.
Prices
Keeps the sales price of each product up to date in Salesforce, from Exact Online.
