Business benefits

Greater efficiency and cost savings

Automating bulk imports and exports translates to fewer man-hours spent on data entry and cleanup. Teams no longer have to manipulate unwieldy default spreadsheets with lots of extraneous fields, nor write one-off scripts for each data update.

Automation and scalability

The module supports large-scale data handling with ease. Whether you’re launching a new season’s catalog or synchronizing inventory levels across hundreds of stores, the process can be automated and repeated consistently.

Improved data accuracy and compliance

By using predefined templates and validating data on import, the module helps enforce data quality standards and compliance. Required fields and format constraints are built into the templates, so users are less likely to submit incorrect or incomplete data.

Fast implementation and ROI

Deploying the DataBridge Import and Export module for SAP Commerce Cloud is straightforward since it’s an add-on to your existing SAP Commerce Cloud system. After a quick initial configuration, your team can start using it right away.

Case study: Streamlined data accuracy and self-service workflows in SAP Commerce Cloud

Client

The client, a leading ecommerce business operating on SAP Commerce Cloud, required a flexible and scalable solution for managing high-volume data exchange operations. Their teams needed a way to import and export structured business data, such as product details, pricing, inventory, and customer records, using common file formats like CSV and Excel.

Existing tools either relied heavily on scripting or failed to align with non-technical business workflows. In these legacy solutions, the absence of scheduling, validation, and a user-friendly interface significantly slowed down time-to-market and increased dependency on IT support.

Solution

SaM Solutions deployed its DataBridge Import and Export module fully integrated with SAP Commerce Cloud to empower business users with an intuitive UI and robust data-handling capabilities. The module facilitated seamless bi-directional data exchange using CSV, XLSX, and other common formats, without the need for developer intervention. This implementation eliminated IT bottlenecks, improved data accuracy, and enabled self-service content management, ultimately helping the client accelerate catalog updates and reach the market up to 40% faster.

Key features
