Data onboarding: Bring product data and media together

Bring ERP master data, supplier information and product media into OMN with clear sources, mappings and responsibilities.

Data onboarding brings information from different sources into a shared product catalogue. It covers import, mapping, quality checks and subsequent enrichment. OMN combines EAI, PIM and DAM for these tasks. Before connecting a source, define which data your ERP owns, which information suppliers deliver and which content your team maintains.

Bring in ERP master data

Article numbers and other master data form the basis of your product information. Define which fields your ERP owns and which content your team adds in OMN. File-based connections can be configured with OMN EAI; the REST API supports programmatic access. The scope and transfer schedule are agreed during the project.

Supplier data in many formats being consolidatedAI-generated

Onboard supplier product data, images and documents

Suppliers deliver spreadsheets, product images and documents with different structures. In OMN EAI, import profiles map CSV and Excel columns to the required attributes. Reuse mappings for subsequent files with the same structure. Also agree on article and variant keys, required media and how missing information is handled. The supplier data process explains the steps from agreed requirements to testing an update.

Connect product images and assets to the right articles

Manage images, videos and documents in OMN DAM and link them to product information in PIM. Define how articles, variants, languages and image views are identified. Before replacing an image, check its assignment, approval and affected channels. Media transfers and product data imports need coordinated rules.

Three foundations for repeatable data transfers

Clarify data ownership

Identify the leading system for each field. Decide which supplier values are imported and which descriptions maintained by your team must be preserved.

Reuse mappings

Maintain import profiles for recurring file structures. When a source changes, review the mapping and test the import again.

Review the results

Use history and logs in the EAI process controller. Business checks and assigned owners complement the technical review of an import run.

Start with a clearly scoped pilot

  1. Select a product group and representative source files.
  2. Define required attributes, keys and media assignments.
  3. Test the initial import, an update and the output in the target channel.
