Feature Spotlight: Catalog API

If you’ve got a large prepared foods catalog across a large store network, managing these items and various updates can be time-consuming and error-prone if you have to use multiple systems. But allowing items to be updated in one place and having that information flow to FoodStorm can save time, resources and headaches. FoodStorm’s new Catalog API does just that.

What is the Catalog API?

First, an application programming interface or API is a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other. And in this instance, the two programs are FoodStorm and a catalog management system. This API allows retailers to:

• Allow information to flow from their catalog management system to FoodStorm
• Create FoodStorm items within their existing catalog management system
• Make updates and manage these items from their existing catalog management system

How can the Catalog API help my grocery catering business?

Grocers can have hundreds, if not thousands of items within their catalogs and across large store networks. Here's some examples of how FoodStorm's Catalog API can help your grocery business include:

• Massively reducing the amount of time required for item management
• Having a single source of truth for catalog management, reducing errors
• Instilling confidence that item attributes, including price and availability, are aligned and correct across various channels and systems
