Multi-tenant catalogue orchestration

Active development

OptiSync

An operational platform for bringing supplier data, catalogue provenance, enrichment and marketplace workflows into one controlled backend.

Illustrative sanitized view of the orchestration
  1. Supplier catalogues arrive through file and API integrations.
  2. Fields are mapped to one canonical product model and normalized.
  3. The rules engine and AI enhancement propose improvements as drafts.
  4. Some work auto-approves on confidence; the rest is held for manual review.
  5. Approved listings are published to the marketplace channels.
  6. Channels send orders back, which are routed to the right supplier.
  7. Stock and tracking close the cycle back to the channels.

The challenge

Why this needed a purpose-built approach.

Supplier catalogues arrive in different shapes, at different levels of quality and on different schedules. Teams need to understand where product data came from, improve it safely and send it into downstream sales channels without losing operational control.

The response

A connected product, not isolated features.

OptiSync creates a deliberate orchestration layer between suppliers and commerce channels. It preserves provenance, supports enrichment and structures marketplace workflows within a multi-tenant system designed for operational visibility.

What it enables

  • 01

    Supplier inputs are normalised without hiding where data originated.

  • 02

    Field-level provenance keeps source and transformation context visible.

  • 03

    AI-assisted enrichment remains reviewable before publication.

  • 04

    Listing validation and channel feedback share one operational workflow.

  • 05

    Stock, orders, supplier routing and tracking stay connected.

  • 06

    Amazon and Kaufland are supported today, with bol.com and eBay planned next.

Product capabilities

Proof in the product.

01

Supplier catalogue ingestion

Supplier-specific boundaries bring files and APIs into one controlled intake workflow.

02

Field mapping and normalization

Flexible mappings turn inconsistent source fields into a predictable canonical product model.

03

Field-level provenance

Operators can understand which source supplied a value and how it entered the catalogue.

04

AI-assisted enrichment with review

Generated improvements remain drafts until confidence and human review gates allow approval.

05

Multi-tenant workspace isolation

Tenant-aware data and permissions keep operational work separated inside one platform.

06

Marketplace listing workflows

Amazon and Kaufland workflows cover readiness, submission and feedback, with bol.com and eBay planned next.

07

Pricing and repricing

Rules, cost floors, channel context and competitor inputs support controlled price decisions.

08

Stock and order orchestration

Stock updates, imported orders, supplier submission and tracking move through auditable workflows.

How it fits together

Clear boundaries, deliberate connections.

  1. Supplier sourcesCatalogue inputs enter through supplier-specific integration boundaries.
  2. OptiSync orchestrationNormalization, provenance and enrichment are coordinated in a multi-tenant core.
  3. Commerce channelsControlled outputs support downstream marketplace and storefront workflows.
