Instead of manually typing product names, SKUs, prices, and VAT codes, teams can have new items flow into accounting directly from the systems they already use — online stores, inventory platforms, procurement catalogs, or ERP systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFor operations leaders pursuing digital transformation and business efficiency, this matters because product data is the backbone of sales and finance operations. When product information is created and synchronized automatically, downstream processes become faster, less error-prone, and more predictable. That reduces friction between sales, warehousing, and finance and frees people to focus on higher-value work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAt a business level, the idea is straightforward: accept structured product information from a trusted source and create a matching article in Visma eAccounting. The information typically includes product name and description, article number or SKU, pricing and units, tax classification, and optional inventory or supplier attributes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eIn practice, organizations connect the systems that own product data to Visma eAccounting so new products are created automatically. This can be done in real time — for example, the moment a product is added to an online catalog — or as scheduled batch imports for seasonal lines or supplier catalogs. Crucially, automation workflows apply business rules during creation: category mappings, default tax settings, price rounding rules, and inventory controls can be enforced so the resulting article fits the company’s financial and operational policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eBeyond one-way creation, intelligent synchronization supports updates and de-duplication. When a product changes in the source system — price revisions, new SKUs, or updated descriptions — the automation decides whether to update the existing article, create a new variant, or defer for manual review. That logic preserves auditability and prevents duplicate entries that can cause reconciliation issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdding AI integration and agentic automation transforms a simple sync into a smart, resilient process. AI agents act like vigilant assistants: they validate incoming data, enrich sparse records, and route exceptions to the right person with context and recommendations. This reduces manual touchpoints and speeds decision-making without eliminating human oversight where it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eData enrichment agents that generate or improve product descriptions, assign categories and tags using natural language understanding, and translate attributes across marketplaces — removing hours of manual polishing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eValidation bots that check prices, VAT classification, SKU uniqueness, and required fields against business rules and historical patterns, lowering the risk of accounting errors and invoice disputes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWorkflow orchestrators that schedule bulk imports, handle incremental syncs, throttle requests to avoid overload, and automatically retry failed creations so integrations are reliable at scale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIntelligent escalation and routing agents that surface only the meaningful exceptions — for example, inconsistent tax treatment or conflicting SKUs — and deliver recommended fixes to the right stakeholder with a short audit trail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMonitoring and reporting agents that summarize sync health, flag systemic problems (like repeated supplier mismatches), and suggest corrective actions based on usage trends.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eReal-World Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eE-commerce onboarding: A retailer lists a new product on their storefront and an automation pipeline creates the article in Visma eAccounting with mapped pricing, VAT classification, and inventory tracking.
