You Can Now Add Geo-Point Datatype Into Product's Properties in Virto Commerce

LOS ANGELES, January 8, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Virto Commerce has recently added a new platform module that will allow its users to add Geo-point datatype into their product properties. ​

A geo-point is a single latitude/longitude point on the Earth’s surface. Geo-points can be used to calculate distance from a point, to determine whether a point falls within a bounding box or in aggregations.

We're happy to offer this new service to our users. Finding the closest branches in B2B scenario is now a part of our offered B2B solution. Geolocation options are extremely useful for many types of stores and we hope our customers will find this new feature beneficial.

Alexander Siniouguine, CEO of Virto Commerce

With this new Virto Commerce feature, the following changes and additions are available:

• Ability to add a new product property as Geo-point
   
• Elastic Search should index it as geo-point 
   
• Search service should provide ability to find nearest products by geo-point
   
• Search service should provide ability to order by distance from geo-point
