Stibo needs to make it way much more efficient in the integration of the data. When you insert data, if you're not utilizing StepXML, the data load will take a lot of time. They can utilize direct output from SAP, Excel, simple XML, CSVs, everything like that. But Stibo converts that particular format into StepXML, then integrates it. Because of this conversion, it creates a lot of time in it.
The analytics module can be improved. It is a self-service solution for creating new reports and submitting visions to bring more data to the CEO table. It could offer greater flexibility in data views, allowing both the sources and the data more flexibility for pivoting.
The search feature for searching internal records could be improved. Right now, we have some limited options in terms of searching the products inside of the platform. The way to manage the IPs and the way to manage the authentication is not that easy to set up. It's good in the end of the day. However, they can still improve this setup process. We'd like to see image as a criterion for matching. This feature will be a groundbreaking solution to help the eCommerce industry match products with different sources.
There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI. Also, some options that are used regularly should be on the front page so that the user does not have to dig deep to find them. The layout is traditional. Error management is not that good and needs to be improved.

I don't know if it's specific to the product, however, we have been struggling with the interfacing. It's very difficult to link that directly to the product. That said, if you would say one thing, then it would be the difficulties that we've had with interfacing with our systems. It took three or four times the amount of time we expected it to. Although they have done a lot with the user interface, and I must say it's clean and crisp, it could be more playful or more colorful, or just more appealing. The initial setup is complex. The solution is expensive (but worth it). In the future, we would like to have better asset management manipulation capabilities. If you make up a picture, for instance, if you want to crop it, or you want to manipulate it with better lighting or colors or add watermarks, you should be able to do so. This type of feature is in its infancy.
