Gepard PIM April Updates: Import Module and Taxonomy Features

At Gepard, we are committed to continually improving our platform to meet the evolving needs of our users. This April, we announced updates to our PIM solution, focusing on bug fixing, enhancing the Import Module, and advancing Taxonomy features. These updates not only streamline processes but also empower our users with more control and insights into their data management tasks.

Enhanced Import Module: Simplified, Flexible, and Informative

Our Import Module has undergone a substantial overhaul, aimed at making data import processes more intuitive, flexible, and transparent for our users. Here’s a breakdown of the key improvements:

• Streamlined Import Proces

We’ve refactored the import process to adhere to the pipeline pattern, breaking it down into discrete stages for better clarity and manageability. Users now have the flexibility to add custom stages as needed, allowing for greater customization and control over the import workflow.

• Comprehensive Error Handling

We’ve revamped error messaging to provide clearer notifications to users, including error descriptions, status updates, and actionable insights. This ensures that users can easily identify and address any issues during the import process.

• Backup and Restoration

With the transition to a common taxonomy and expanded support for backup, users can now seamlessly back up any taxonomy, whether it’s content or external. Automatic restoration capabilities ensure data integrity, allowing users to revert to previous states if import issues arise.

• Enhanced API Integration

We’ve extended our API capabilities to incorporate new functionalities into the user interface, providing users with real-time insights into import logs, including catalog information, connector details, import duration, and product statistics.

• Revamped User Interface

The user interface has undergone a significant redesign to enhance usability and accessibility. Users now have access to a centralized dashboard divided into Input Channels and Recent Imports tabs, providing a comprehensive overview of their import activities.

Advanced Taxonomy Features: Data Organization and Search

In addition to the Import Module enhancements, we’ve introduced advanced features to our Taxonomy functionality, enabling users to categorize and manage their product data with greater precision and efficiency:

• Attribute Value Assignment

Users can now assign attribute values specific to individual categories, facilitating granular control over product attributes. Global attributes provide a centralized view of available values, allowing for seamless attribute management across categories.

• Category Search Optimization

We’ve optimized category search functionality to overcome performance challenges and improve user experience. Leveraging client-side rendering and backend enhancements, users can now efficiently navigate and explore categories, with search results dynamically generated to enhance usability.

These updates underscore our commitment to empowering users with cutting-edge tools and features that streamline their workflows, enhance data integrity, and elevate their overall experience with Gepard. As we continue to innovate and evolve, rest assured that Gepard remains at the forefront of industry trends, best practices, and user requirements, ensuring that your data management needs are not just met but exceeded.

Stay tuned for more updates, as we remain dedicated to delivering excellence in PIM solutions.
