How does a Product Library work? A product library works by keeping a copy of your data from your ERP or Product Management system online with images and descriptions on a web server that expose WSDL and SOAP that allow developers to connect and update their own systems with BizTalk or writing code. For less savvy customers we provide a client software that anyone can install and use to filter and download images and a CSV file with data needed to import in to a proposal system or e-commerce catalog. Empower your customers to sell more and do more with your products. ProjectThunder provides the developer support and end use support for any client software used to download data directly to the desktop.
