Method for importing products through soap

[artoulis]

Hello VirtueMart community,

I'm trying to import or update products through an erp which utilized the soap protocol,

I've been looking for hours and I have only found various ways of importing through csv or excel files.
My goal is to create an automated script(via crontab) which will update the products database accordingly.

I understand that it can be done by directly writing to the database but I was wondering if there's a simpler way of doing it.

any suggestions are highly appreciated.

a simpler way

1. We have connector for SAP, which use WDSL
2. We have app - Import product for VirtueMart, which use XML or CSV with crontab. Next Year we adding soap support for this app, because we have client for this.
