Extensions

See how to extend VSM and make it easy to use with external modules.

The Value Stream Modeller in Management Dashboard provides a centralized place where you can integrate external modules tailored to your specific needs. These custom extensions are embedded directly into the platform, giving you convenient access to all essential tools in one place.

The Extensions module offers a list of all connected integrations, allowing you to use them within the dashboard environment.

This node is visible only when you have enabled some custom extensions. Otherwise, the Extensions node doesn't appear in the Management Dashboard.

Prerequisite

As a prerequisite for the extensions, connect a custom module and have it available in Management Dashboard. For the configuration details, see the Management Dashboard Extensions guide in the Administration section that shows how to create a connection.

AI Extensions in Value Stream Modeller

As a part of the extensions development possibilities, Emporix provides support for the AI driven extensibility. This aims to accelerate your work with the platform.

By default, you have access to the following AI extensions:

• AI SmartConfig - it's an AI-powered assistant that simplifies and accelerates tenant setup. It automates the configuration of key settings like languages, business types, countries, taxes, currencies, sites, shipping methods, and delivery times. Using the assistant you can eliminate manual effort and reduce the time you spend on MD setup. At the end of the process, you can also generate a sample product to support quick testing and onboarding. For details, see the AI Smart Config guide.

• AI SmartImport - it helps in the data upload and integration process by automatically importing information such as brands, categories, catalogs, products, prices, media, availability, taxes, and product category assignments. It maps the content from uploaded files to the system’s data structure, eliminating manual mapping. For details, see the AI Smart Import guide.
