Solution

To effectively manage the complexities of a diverse marketplace, a robust infrastructure is essential. A platform like Sylius can provide the backbone, including a centralized product information management (PIM) system that serves as a single source of truth for all product data, ensuring consistency and accuracy across the platform. Additionally, Sylius’s open architecture allows for integrating satellite services, which are smaller, more focused applications. This allows greater flexibility and customization in meeting specific business needs. Finally,  Sylius’s API-first approach makes it easy to connect to your existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, such as SAP, enabling seamless data exchange and streamlined business operations.
