# Introduction

> Depict Foundation is the merchant platform for merchandising, analytics and product discovery.

Depict Foundation is the Depict merchant platform: one portal where you
merchandise your collections, understand how they perform, and control how
products are discovered on your storefront.

## How it fits together

1. **Your catalog and behavioural data are ingested** into Depict — see the
   [data ingestion guide](/data-ingestion-guide/overview-of-data-ingestion).
2. **Depict ranks and serves** search results, listings and recommendations to
   your storefront through the Storefront API or one of the UI integrations.
3. **You steer and measure** everything from the Foundation portal: curation,
   merchandising rules and analytics.
