Bloomreach announced a new feature from Bloomreach Discovery that gives merchandisers greater control over their product catalogs. With Catalog Management, merchandising teams can use business user-friendly tools to configure and manage all product catalogs within their account. Bloomreach Discovery customers now provides all users with the ability to see data import activity and make configuration changes in real time. They are also able to select which data attributes they want to show up in the product feed, ensuring product data is relevant for their business and for customer queries.

The data implementation process for product discovery tools can take time, and often becomes more complicated with larger product catalogs. This can lead to delays in generating value from the tool, as merchandisers have to wait for the implementation process to be completed before they can make changes or customizations to the data. Catalog Management solves for this issue directly by enabling search and merchandising teams to manage the data integration process on their own. It offers users the ability to view, manage, diagnose, and explore data across all the catalogs in their account, allowing them to optimize their merchandising, make necessary changes or customizations in real-time.

Digital experience company Acquia announced it is set to support Drupal 10 when the open source community releases it on December 14. Acquia’s products ready for the newest version of the open source framework for building digital experience include: Acquia Code Studio and Cloud IDE developer tools, low-code Acquia Site Studio and Site Factory solutions for building and managing experiences, Acquia CMS and Acquia DAM for managing and publishing content, and Acquia Personalization for one-to-one experiences. Many customers are already beta testing Drupal 10 on Acquia Cloud Platform. They can also begin upgrading their sites on their Acquia Cloud Enterprise or Acquia Cloud Next development environments.

Acquia is the largest contributor to Drupal 10, and has contributed all updates required to make Acquia CMS compatible with Drupal 10 back to the Drupal community. After Drupal 10’s release, companies will have 11 months to update their applications from Drupal 9 to 10 to avoid potential unmaintained third-party dependencies. A timely upgrade reduces this risk, and allows their technical and marketing teams to take advantage of the innovative features that the open source community has contributed to Drupal 10.
