With “Geo-offers,” you can monitor prices based on postal codes, and “My Rivals/Retailers 2.0” provides suggestions for rivals based on shared EANs, as well as information about their geographical location and shipping.
  • Gain a deep understanding of your users’ behaviours, such as the number of pages viewed per customer and average time spent, using GTM events for user metrics.
  • My Catalog 2.0 provides a clear overview of your imported catalogue with better views and filters. The Smart Suggestions feature now allows you to easily filter and order product lists, view the percentage similarity of attributes, and apply filters and save views on marketplace channels.

To strengthen our ecosystem at the heart of your Commerce Everywhere strategy, we completed our connectors with strong partners:

  • We can now provide you an SFTP access on Lengow,s servers for our Salesforce Commerce Cloud Cartridge, available since this summer.
  • Retrieve the BigCommerce App directly on the BigCommerce Apps Platform

We reinforced our partnerships with great marketplaces to make it easier to sell on it and reduce your time to market:

We are constantly working to improve the user experience on our platform, including enhancements to catalogue imports, pre-matching of attributes (especially for large catalogues), and catalogue dashboards.
Finally, we have made new automated rules to help you improve efficiency and reduce time to market: SPLIT (divide an existing field into multiple values, and use the results as a value in your catalogue); TRUNC (limit the number of characters present in your fields) and FORMAT-NUM( display a price in a format that you can manage to the decimal digit of your choice).

Crack the Code of Data Opacity

The most valuable resource for marketers is data. It is crucial to gather as much of it as you can even though it can be difficult to understand. The hard part is figuring out how to use the enormous amounts of data at your disposal to boost your efficiency, client pleasure, and agility. Despite the difficulties that the abundance of data available poses, it will be vital for marketers in 2023 to take advantage of it.

In this way, Improvements have been made to facilitate the integration of data between Lengow and Netrivals, our new price intelligence solution.
You can now add Netrivals as an Additional Source to create a main catalogue with competitive data that can be used to optimise your diffusion (thanks to automatic rules and segments) and highlight/Disable products in function.
