Buyer

Non-Automated

So we can be completely automated and do business with a mix of automated and non-automated Buyers :)))

And we can gradually switch over customers and ultimately phase out all our legacy systems!!!

Big Automated Seller

So we can stay relevant and keep our business with our large automated buyers even though we are not yet automated!!!

And we can gradually switch over to APIs and ultimately be ourselves fully automated :)))

Small Non-Automated Seller
One-to-Many API

Reach All Your Partners with Just a Single API Connection via Lab in the Sky

'One API' versus 'n APIs'

The Catalog API replaces the need to implement, maintain and upgrade complex APIs with every single partner!

'Relay API' versus 'Intrusive API'

The Catalog API simply acts as a relay / bridge between Buyers and Sellers in a non-intrusive way!

So we can simply use a single API to buy from our many Sellers around the globe and no longer have to deal with each specific Seller's API!!!

And we can finally buy Products in a consistent and systematic way across all our Sellers via API :)))

Big Automated Buyer

So we can simply use the GUI to buy from our Sellers as we don't have in any way, shape or form the volume and the means to automate!!!

And we can finally buy Products in a consistent and systematic way across all our Sellers via GUI :)))

Small Non-Automated Buyer

It’s All Based on Standards and Also Fully Customizable to Fit the Real World

Standard-Based

It's based on the many standards the MEF and TMF have developed for product specification!

Fully Customizable
