Nelli Brings AI to the Core of Znode
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping enterprise technology, and ecommerce is no exception. For manufacturers and distributors running Znode, AI is here with Nelli.
Nelli is an AI platform released by Znode’s parent company, Amla Commerce. This platform allows Znode to be accessed by third-party agents such as Einstein or Co-pilot. Agents can also be built on Nelli to access Znode and other enterprise data sources. Nelli enables secure and standardized communication between AI agents and the platform. Nelli is developed to make operations smarter, faster, and more connected, allowing Znode to fit into an agentic world.
Why Nelli Matters in B2B Ecommerce
Znode customers manage complex business models, from multi-store operations to advanced quoting and order workflows. Nelli brings AI into this environment in practical ways:
- Automating administrative tasks in the Administration Console
- Delivering instant insights by analyzing platform data
- Coordinating multi-step workflows across systems
- Supporting responsive, accurate buyer interactions in the Storefront
The result is improved efficiency for enterprises and better experiences for both buyers and administrators.
How Nelli and Znode Work Together
At its foundation, Nelli uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI and Znode. This creates a secure, bi-directional channel through which AI can both retrieve information and take action within the platform.
Key elements include:
- Secure communication: Standardized links between AI and Znode through MCP servers.
- Actionable tools: Exposing Znode’s capabilities as “tools” and “resources” for AI.
- Semantic data layer: Providing AI with context for smarter decisions.
- Orchestration: Enabling AI to handle multi-step processes across the commerce ecosystem.
Preparing for the Future of Agentic Commerce
Nelli is the foundation for how Znode integrates into agentic enterprises. By embedding intelligence into the platform, enterprises can prepare for a future where AI agents play a direct role in commerce operations and buyer engagement.
Nelli positions Znode as the only AI-driven B2B ecommerce platform, giving enterprises the tools to operate smarter and deliver more connected buyer experiences.
