Integration

inriver supplier onboarding and import repair

Suppliers send XLSX, CSV, media batches, and messy value lists. Rastro translates CVL display values into keys, repairs LocaleString headers, separates data from media, and shows which rows inriver will reject before you upload again.

You review and publish

Clean data in your format. Accept, comment, or send back for corrections.

What Rastro handles

PDF and Excel auto-parsing

Suppliers upload whatever they have. Rastro parses Excel with mixed-language headers, PDFs with spec tables, or CSVs. No templates needed on the supplier side.

Web enrichment

Paste a manufacturer URL. Rastro pulls specs, images, and documents, then maps them to your PIM attributes. Fill gaps without asking the supplier twice.

Supplier and distributor comments

Built-in threads between your team and suppliers. Flag missing data, get the fix back in the same place, apply it to the batch.

CVL key translation

Rastro translates supplier display values like Red or Stainless Steel into the inriver CVL system keys the importer actually expects.

LocaleString and header repair

Missing language suffixes, duplicate headers, and blank columns are flagged before they silently fail inside inriver.

Row rejection triage

Rastro shows which rows will be thrown out when one bad field poisons the full product, so your team can fix the actual blocking values first.

Data and media separation

Media references that belong in the asset channel are pulled out of data uploads so supplier batches stop failing on avoidable channel mistakes.
