-- RBMSoft, a provider of enterprise software development and technology services, launched Arvyn, a real-time catalog intelligence platform for retailers with large, dynamic product catalogs.
Arvyn helps fix a big problem in retail tech—when you update data, it takes too long to show up on the front end. It offers a common data layer that ensures product, price, inventory and category data remain up-to-date without time-consuming catalog rebuilds.
For example, major retailers manage tens of thousands or millions of product variations across commerce engines, content management systems and merchandising applications. When data is updated, the information has to go through another index or batch update before it appears on the storefront.
This may cause the product listing, merchant offers, and merchandise presentation to be out of sync with the store's core catalog. Arvyn was designed to fill those gaps by working with retailers' existing commerce architecture.
Arvyn Connects Catalog Changes to Retail Storefronts
At the heart of Arvyn is a catalog data layer, which is fed from the connected business systems via change data capture (CDC).
Live updates. Instead of taking a prescheduled dump of product attributes, prices, inventory and categorization, the system continuously captures changes. This data is then made available for applications managing product listings, category navigation and merchandising previews.
The system architecture is built to minimize reliance on additional search indexes for catalog browsing and prevent the need for repeated catalog rebuilds.
Arvyn also supports retailers operating complex product structures, including catalogs with large numbers of stock-keeping units (SKUs), product variations and frequently changing merchandising rules.
The platform works with existing commerce and content management systems, allowing retailers to retain their current systems of record.
New Platform Supports Merchandising and Catalog Management
In addition to working with catalog data, Arvyn includes features to assist retail merchandising teams.
Its live preview feature enables merchants to preview product and category updates in the same environment as the storefront. This resolves variations that occur when the preview environment has a different copy of catalog information than the production environment.
Dynamic page curation also integrates merchandising with product content by allowing merchandising teams to create product collections through catalog attributes and filters.
Additional capabilities include product ranking based on business measures such as margin, sales velocity and sell-through, along with automated checks for missing product images, incomplete pricing and other catalog data issues.
These functions are intended to give merchandising teams more direct control over how product information appears across digital retail channels.
Arvyn Provides Current Catalog Information for AI Shopping Applications
This announcement also comes as retailers are increasingly adopting AI to power product discovery and customer engagement.
AI-powered shopping assistants require accurate product information to answer questions about available items, pricing and specifications.
Arvyn offers a real-time product catalog data feed that can support these applications alongside regular storefront browsing.
The platform focuses on the information available during product discovery. Checkout transactions, payment authorization and final inventory verification remain responsibilities of the retailer's commerce and transaction systems.
RBMSoft Expands Its Retail Technology Portfolio
Arvyn builds on RBMSoft's work in enterprise commerce engineering, software modernization and system integration.
