SHOP CONNECTORS AND MAINTAINED DATA

Factory data.
Kept in order.

SmartFACT Data at data.smartfact.ai is how outside data reaches the SmartFACT products that use it. Data comes in through each product's own import or through SmartFACT Data, whichever suits the job. ConfigSheets is its facet for maintained tables and reviewed files. Shop connectors, including WooCommerce, are separate facets, and other systems join through paid integrations. However the data arrives, it is checked, saved as a version and handed to the product that applies it.

Free for real production at one station. While SmartFACT is in early access, we set your first workflow up with you.

A SHARED CROSS-REFERENCE
“Our bracket BRK-250 for Northway uses kit KIT-12 and prints with Northway’s part number 00417.”
Bring inCheckHand over

Handed over for review: 00417 is stored exactly as written, leading zeros and all, in a new saved version. KitProof's next job file and the LabelRules customer code export are both prepared from that version, and neither product uses the change until it has reviewed it.

A SHOP SKU MAPPING
“We sell hinges in pairs: shop SKU CB-HINGE-PAIR takes two of stock item CB-HINGE.”
Bring inCheckHand over

Handed over for review: After a second person activates the mapping, a paid order for three pairs reaches StoresFlow as six CB-HINGE for the order, and StoresFlow takes them off stock when its owner’s setting says: as the order arrives, at its pick or at its despatch. Any line whose SKU lacks an active mapping waits under Needs a mapping; nothing is guessed.

A STANDARD KIT FALLBACK
“For each customer and product, take the kit on our customer list; if the customer has none, fall back to the product's standard kit.”
Bring inCheckHand over

Handed over for review: Lines with a customer entry, matched exactly on both codes, take that kit; the rest take the standard kit, and the evidence says which applied. If a line has neither, the file is not produced, rather than a kit being guessed. KitProof reviews the file before any job changes.

A save on its own changes no product; each receiving product reviews the data before it takes effect.

WHO IT IS FOR

For teams bringing orders, codes and reference data into SmartFACT and keeping them right.

DATA HANDED OVER FOR REVIEW

The receiving product decides what your values change.

SmartFACT Data holds and checks the values; it does not decide what they mean. LabelRules, KitProof or StoresFlow applies its own reviewed configuration to them, and nothing changes in production until that product has reviewed and accepted its input.

Fictional supplier values, kept as table data. Check the saved version before you prepare a supported output; what happens next is up to the receiving product.

The values are made up. This example changes nothing and sends no file.

Keep clear reference values for each supported workflow.

HOW IT WORKS

Know which values each product was given.

Orders arrive from a shop, codes live in a spreadsheet and a supplier sends a fresh list by email. When each source reaches a product by its own path, nobody can say which copy a label or a kit was built from. SmartFACT Data brings those sources through one checked route and records the version each product was handed.

01

Choose the way in

Shop orders arrive through the Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop connectors. Tables start from a sheet laid out as expected, a sheet whose columns are mapped to that layout, or rows pasted into the grid. Names, value types and the owner of each table are agreed before the first import.

02

Check and save

Each proposed change is validated and compared with the saved version first. Save it as a new version with a note; if a check fails, nothing is saved and the current version stays in use.

03

Hand it over for review

The product that uses the data reads a saved version and runs its own review before anything changes: LabelRules activates a reference table only after review, and KitProof accepts reviewed job files.

THE SERVICE

Bring data in, check each change and hand it over for review.

ConfigSheets: uploaded sheets and maintained tables

Keep shared tables in the ConfigSheets facet. Start from a sheet in the expected layout or a mapped one, then edit cells or paste whole blocks of rows to move existing tables across.

Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop

Ready-made connectors pass orders from your Shopify, WooCommerce or PrestaShop shop to SmartFACT, free while SmartFACT Data is in early access and with no integration project to buy.

Other systems, connected by us

When the data lives in SAP, an ERP or MRP system, EDI, a bespoke API or other software, connecting it is a paid integration: we scope it, price it before work starts and build it through data.smartfact.ai.

Defined columns and exact codes

Give fields clear names and types. Keep identifiers such as 0012 as text so leading zeros survive the workflow.

Checked changes and saved versions

Preview validation results and differences before saving; a problem leaves the table unchanged. Each save keeps a version with its note, so you can revisit the exact version a product received.

Reviewed delivery to the receiving product

The receiving product reviews and accepts what it receives. LabelRules activates a reference table after its own review, and protected job files let KitProof reject an older file after a recovery exchange.

IS IT A FIT?

Starting points
and scope.

A good starting point

  • The codes, lookup values or tabular inputs you depend on change from time to time.
  • You need to show what changed and which version each product was given.
  • Your data is in sheets, in Shopify, WooCommerce or PrestaShop, or in a system we can connect for you.

Scope

  • Every organisation starts free; while SmartFACT Data is in early access, the first data set is set up with you and the scope agreed before it starts.
  • While SmartFACT Data is in early access there is no charge for uploaded sheets or the Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop connectors. Any other system, such as SAP, an ERP, EDI or a bespoke API, is a paid integration, priced before work starts.
  • Your team supplies and checks the data. The receiving product keeps the rules, production activation, printing and physical work.

WORKS WITH

What SmartFACT Data exchanges,
and what it keeps.

Takes data from

  • Uploaded sheets and pasted rows, in the expected or a mappable layout
  • Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop, through connectors that are free in early access
  • SAP, an ERP or MRP system, EDI or a bespoke API, as a paid integration scoped and built for you

Sends data to

  • Reviewed reference tables to LabelRules
  • Reviewed job files to KitProof
  • Shop orders to OrderRun and ParcelOffice, and stock requests from shop orders to StoresFlow
  • Connected data to ReclaimStation and other receiving products, each after its own review

Does not exchange with

  • Your accounts or ERP: it writes nothing back unless a paid integration we build for you includes it
  • Stock balances: it is not a stock ledger
  • Product rules, which stay in the receiving product and SmartFACT Automation

Every SmartFACT product keeps its own records. A link between two products is used only when your organisation has both, and is agreed at onboarding.

How the SmartFACT products work together →

BEFORE YOU START

Common questions.

How do we start?

Start free. While SmartFACT Data is in early access, registration is closed: your enquiry tells us what data you need to bring in, where it is kept now and which SmartFACT products rely on it. We then agree the scope and the people who need access, enable your organisation through SmartFACT Accounts and stay involved while the first data arrives. Sending the form does not open an account by itself.

What will it cost?

Uploaded sheets, whether laid out as expected or mapped to that layout, cost nothing while SmartFACT Data is in early access, and neither do the Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop connectors. Connecting anything else, such as SAP, an ERP or MRP system, EDI or a bespoke API, is a paid integration, and its price is agreed with you before work begins. Nothing is paid through this website. To start a paid integration, tell us about the system at https://data.smartfact.ai/integration-enquiry.

Do we need Google Sheets?

No. A sheet upload, a pasted block of rows or the grid itself is enough, and once saved the table stands on its own without the original file. A Google Sheet kept live and connected counts as a paid integration, scoped with you.

What kinds of data can it hold?

Shop orders, customer and supplier codes, lookup values and the structured inputs your SmartFACT products need. Together we set the fields and test them with representative values. It is not a stock ledger, and it does not hold product manufacturing rules.

How do SmartFACT products receive the data?

A receiving product works from a saved version and accepts it only after its own review. LabelRules activates a reference table once reviewed, and KitProof takes reviewed job files. Each product also keeps its own import, and data from SAP, an ERP or other software comes through a paid integration built through data.smartfact.ai and reaches the product the same way.

Can it write results back to SAP or our ERP?

Only as a paid integration we scope and build for you. By default data comes in and nothing goes back. Where you want a result returned, such as a stock figure, a goods receipt or a purchase order, it is agreed with you, priced before work starts and reviewed before it goes live. Tell us about the system at https://data.smartfact.ai/integration-enquiry.

Does saving a table immediately change production?

No. A save only adds a table version. Preparing a supported output is a separate, deliberate step, and the receiving product still runs its own review and activation. Exports made earlier, and KitProof files already generated, stay linked to the versions that produced them.

Does saving or exporting make our data public?

No. Only people your organisation authorises through Accounts can see it. A file you download is for your own authorised workflow, and where it goes next is up to you. Saving a table never publishes a dataset.

Can it help with EDI mappings?

Yes, as the place where the customer, supplier and internal values behind a mapping are kept and checked. Linking your EDI software or provider so that messages are actually sent or read is a paid integration, scoped with you and built through data.smartfact.ai.
