We confirm supported entities, direction and mapping before selecting the integration path.
UnoPim implementation for B2B catalogs
Connect product data to sales channels with UnoPim
We design the product model, migrate existing catalog data and connect UnoPim to Magento 2, ERP systems and marketplaces. Each system keeps a clear job.
- Magento 2 catalog integration
- ERP and supplier data imports
- Validation, training and operating handover
The first workshop covers your source systems, catalog structure and the channel you want to improve first.
UnoPim is useful when product work has become a coordination problem
A PIM should remove repeated catalog work. It should not become another database that nobody clearly owns.
-
Product data comes from several places
ERP records, supplier files and storefront fields all contribute information, but no team has a dependable editing flow.
-
Variants and locales need a shared model
Families, required attributes and translations have become difficult to manage directly in each sales channel.
-
Catalog quality needs visible rules
Editors need to see what is missing before a product can be sent to Magento 2 or another destination.
-
Adding a channel repeats too much work
The same attributes, media and descriptions are copied or transformed again for every new storefront, feed or marketplace.
Decide which system owns each field
The table below is a common starting point for B2B catalogs. We adjust it to the systems and responsibilities already in place.
Data
Typical owner
Reason
SKU and commercial master record
ERP
The commercial product identity stays with the operational system.
Attributes, families and translations
UnoPim
Product editors maintain one structured version for all channels.
Images and technical documents
UnoPim or DAM
Media is assigned once and delivered with the product record.
Price and stock
ERP
Frequently changing operational data should not be duplicated in editorial workflows.
Storefront rules and purchasability
Magento 2
Commerce behavior remains close to checkout, customer and catalog rules.
This is a reference model, not a fixed UnoPim requirement. Some projects deliberately assign fields differently.
Integration architecture
A data flow your team can operate after go-live
We document direction, mapping, validation and failure handling for every connection. A connector is used where it fits. Custom code is reserved for rules that are specific to your business.
Operational and supplier data
- ERP product records
- Supplier CSV or XLSX
- Existing Magento catalog
UnoPim
- Attributes and families
- Locales and channel values
- Completeness and review
Commerce and downstream systems
- Magento 2 storefronts
- Marketplace exports
- Feeds and reporting
Imports are repeatable, validated and logged instead of relying on manual file cleanup.
Each destination receives only the fields, language and structure it expects.
Know what comes from UnoPim and what belongs to the project
This distinction prevents a product feature, a commercial connector and custom implementation work from being presented as the same thing.
The product data foundation
Functions available in the open-source PIM, subject to the installed version and configuration.
- Attributes, families and categories
- Locales, channels and completeness
- CSV, XLS and XLSX import and export
- REST API with OAuth access
The route into each target system
A connector or adapter translates the UnoPim model into the destination contract.
- Magento 2 entity and media mapping
- ERP-specific data exchange
- Marketplace and feed formats
- Version and licensing review
The work that makes it fit your catalog
We turn the software and integrations into a process that your teams can maintain.
- Data model and ownership decisions
- Migration and mapping rules
- Validation, monitoring and runbooks
- Editor training and operating handover
AI-assisted enrichment, approval flows and digital asset functions depend on the UnoPim version, configuration and any additional modules selected for the project.
Start with one complete flow
The first release should prove the model and operating process with real products before more catalogs and channels are added.
-
01
Inspect the source data
We review representative products, variants, locales, media and the systems that currently change them.
Deliverable: source and ownership map -
02
Design the product model
Families, attributes, validation rules and channel requirements are agreed with the people who maintain the catalog.
Deliverable: model and mapping specification -
03
Build one production path
We migrate a defined scope and connect one end-to-end flow, including logs and a clear response to failed records.
Deliverable: tested integration flow -
04
Hand over and expand
Editors and technical owners receive training, operating instructions and a backlog for the next channels or product groups.
Deliverable: runbook and rollout plan
What teams usually clarify before implementation
Does UnoPim replace the ERP?
Usually not. The ERP often remains responsible for commercial and operational data, while UnoPim manages the product content needed by sales channels.
Can UnoPim supply Magento 2?
Yes. The exact route depends on the entities, direction and Magento setup. We verify whether an available connector covers the scope or an adapter is required.
Can existing spreadsheets be migrated?
Yes, after the columns, identifiers and data quality have been reviewed. The migration should produce repeatable import rules rather than a one-off cleanup.
Can UnoPim be self-hosted?
UnoPim is open-source software and can be operated on your own infrastructure. Hosting, backups, queues and upgrades still need an explicit operating plan.
How do we choose the first rollout scope?
Use one representative product group and one important channel. It should be complex enough to test the model without pulling the whole catalog into the first release.
Does every integration work out of the box?
No. Connector coverage, versions and data direction must be checked. Business-specific mappings and validation rules remain project work.
Start with the catalog, not the software
Bring one product sample and your current data flow.
We will identify the first useful scope, the systems involved and the decisions that need to be made before implementation.
Plan an UnoPim workshop No prepared specification is required for the first call.
