A Data Model Built for Multi-Store B2B Ecommerce

B2B product data does not scale within a single catalog. Manufacturers and distributors manage multiple storefronts, catalogs, and customer contexts with unique assortments and requirements. Znode solves this with a flexible, multi-store data model that enables product data to be defined once and reused across catalogs, storefronts, and customer experiences, eliminating duplication and supporting scalable growth.
