Release Date: July 15, 2026
This release brings new and enhanced features, better scalability, smoother workflows, and a richer user experience on CloudBlue Connect®.
The new Onboarding Assistants module guides Vendors through creating their product catalog in CloudBlue Connect®. The AI-powered assistant automatically infers how source data from the Vendor maps to Connect Products and Items, flags ambiguities and missing required fields with confidence indicators, and lets Vendors review and refine mappings before anything is created.
In-context explanations of key concepts like Products vs. Items appear throughout the flow, reducing the learning curve for new vendors. Every onboarding run produces a detailed results report with per-record outcomes, links to created entities, and a full audit history.
