Product data integration

Your products, kept up to date in Exact Online — automatically.

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

Ergonode This middleware Exact Online 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 Exact Online

New products are created, existing ones updated. Prices, suppliers, purchase details and assemblies follow the same product, in the right administration.

You decide the rules

Which Ergonode field fills which Exact 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.

Several companies at once

One installation serves several customers, and a customer can have several administrations in Exact Online — 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 is already in Exact Online and works out what actually needs to change.

  4. 4

    Write

    The changes go into Exact Online. Anything that cannot be processed is flagged and retried.

One-way, on purpose. Ergonode always wins. If a value differs between the two systems, Exact Online is updated to match Ergonode — never the other way round.

What can be synced

Each part can be switched on or off per customer, so you get what you need and nothing else. Item master data and deletions are always on — everything else builds on the first, and the second is what keeps our copy of Exact Online true to Exact Online.

Item master data always on
Creates and updates the product itself in Exact Online. Every other flow builds on this one.
Item extra fields
Writes the mapped free fields onto the product. Uses the XML interface, in one batch per run.
Accounts (suppliers)
Reads suppliers from Exact Online so supplier items can be linked to the right one.
Supplier items
Keeps the purchase side of a product up to date: supplier, purchase price, lead time.
Sales prices
Keeps the sales price of a product up to date.
Assembly bill of materials
Builds composed products out of their parts in Exact Online.
Production recipes
Writes the recipe of manufactured products: which parts, and how many of each.
Deletions always on
Notices what has been deleted in Exact Online, so our copy of your administration stays true to it. Every other flow reads that copy before it writes.
