Optimized performance of the Match and Merge Importer
With this update, the Match and Merge Importer has been significantly improved to deliver better performance, stability, and traceability.
The optimizations make data handling more efficient, resulting in improved throughput and import operations that are up to 50 percent faster, while stability enhancements ensure more reliable processing, minimizing interruptions and errors. Additionally, the traceability of the Match and Merge Importer has been enhanced, enabling users to identify the reasons for potential slowdowns during the import process, thereby facilitating better troubleshooting and optimization of import operations.
Initially, the improved version of the Match and Merge Importer will be released exclusively to selected customers who will be notified directly regarding the upgrade. If you are interested in being among the first customers to receive this update, contact Stibo Systems.
