March update New Shopware plugin and support for BMEcat and cXML

All good things come in threes, we thought so too and were able to complete three major development steps in March. These include:

• New Shopware 5 plugin
• cXML punchout and catalog generation
• BMEcat catalog generation

Our new Shopware 5 plugin

The release took longer than expected, but now it's available in the Shopware store: our new Shopware 5 plugin! With the help of the plugin, articles are sent to your PunchCommerce customer directly from the Shopware backend. The composition of the products is based on ProductStreams in Shopware.

This allows you, as a Shopware user, easy access to the technologies we support. These include:

• OCI
• cXML
• BMEcat

Now you can implement punch-out and catalog processes easily and without any problems.

You can now find the plugin in the Shopware store under the name “PunchCommerce für Shopware 5”. We are currently working on the version for Shopware 6, it will follow in the course of the year.

cXML punchout and catalog generation

Another innovation is the completion of the first version of our cXML module. With this we support the PunchOut and the catalog creation via this technology. In conjunction with our Shopware plugin, you can quickly and easily create cXML-based PunchOut catalogs that can be used within SAP Ariba®, for example.

BMEcat catalog generation

And last but not least: From now on we also support the generation and transmission of BMEcat catalogs via our application.
