At a glance

Extended SAP PCM functionality

The SAP PCM cockpit offers PIM functionality, enabling cockpit end-users to manage and structure product information and catalogs. Using this adapter to integrate inriver with SAP Commerce Cloud, product information is immediately available for the SAP Commerce platform.

The SAP Commerce Cloud adapter increases the value of SAP Commerce for organizations by adding the power of inriver's flexible, scalable PIM. Organizations using the adapter can quickly start synchronizing data between inriver and SAP Commerce Cloud without costly and time-consuming deployment or maintenance.

Member of the inriver IIF adapter family

The SAP Commerce Cloud adapter is one of inriver's platform adapters based on the inriver integration framework (IIF). The IIF ensures that each adapter can interface with a target system independently of how the inriver PIM elastic model is implemented. As a result, all these adapters can be easily used, requiring only configuration.
