Getting Started with Master Data in Hii Retail
Integrating your ERP system with Hii Retail is designed to be straightforward, enabling you to leverage Hii Retail's extensive features.

Why Use Hii Retail?
Hii Retail is built to help customers operate efficiently, supporting best practices and evolving business requirements in retail.
Many customers have their own ERP or PIM systems, but these often lack retail-specific capabilities. Hii Retail fills these gaps, offering advanced features such as:
- Maintain master data at group or business unit level, with automatic distribution.
- Inheritance of default values through hierarchies.
- Extensible data model for custom use cases.
- Support for various retail domains (e.g., Fashion, FMCG, Convenience).
- Versioning to ensure correct data sequence.
- Validation and alerting rules.
- Change detection and tracking (tracing).
- Distribution to downstream systems and legacy in-store systems.
- Assortment management.
- Search and lookup capabilities, including reusable searches.
- Date and time handling.
- Central hub for master data distribution.
How Does It Work?
Master Data Processing services are reactive. Any valid input triggers downstream processing and events. The API returns a 202 - Accepted response, and further validation or errors are handled asynchronously.
Subscribe to alerts and notifications via External Events for error handling.
APIs are available for both data input and querying. Input APIs are split into Business Unit-specific and Business Unit Group endpoints.
See the API section in the Developer Portal for more.
