System for managing digital product data
Download brochure

A company's products and services are what make a profit. Customers search the Internet and compare information in product descriptions, choosing the vendor that provides complete, relevant and up-to-date information. If your company is a major retailer or manufacturer, you're dealing with thousands of items, hundreds of attributes, and multiple features on a daily basis, with information presented in a variety of formats. Keeping track of data updates manually becomes almost impossible: there is too much information for a person to analyze it all in real time. PIM systems can help.

PIM (Product Information Management) is a system for managing large amounts of data on goods and services. Information about each item in the catalog is gathered in a single digital space, regardless of the breadth of the assortment, the number of suppliers and promotion channels.

Problems in working with the product catalog

The lack of a system for describing products and systematizing catalogs leads to data discrepancies in various promotion channels, which not only reduces the effectiveness of e-commerce business, but also confuses customers, reducing the attractiveness of the company. As a result, retailers and manufacturers face the following problems:

  • Lack or overstock of items in stock,

  • Delays in deliveries,

  • Large number of returns,

  • Disruption of launch dates for new products,

  • Overloaded catalog with unnecessary information,

  • Difficulties in communication with suppliers and customers,

  • Inconsistent data.

How can a PIM system help your business?

To avoid negative consequences for your business, it is enough to implement a solution that will help manage digital data in a systematic way. It can be a system like Pimcore. The platform provides a central repository for managing product information, helping to systematize product data management and improve e-commerce efficiency.

How Pimcore works

The system retrieves product information from your ERP system or by entering data directly into Pimcore itself. Retailers can receive data from the manufacturer or importer of goods. Its cloud-based and multi-domain implementation makes the information available online 24/7 for your employees, as well as for vendors' or distributors' representatives: partners can independently upload commodity data in various formats to Pimcore. In the PIM system, you can modify product information, add new content (photos, videos, reviews), delete and edit all data on prices, delivery conditions, product specifications. Goods are classified in accordance to the catalog and the necessary attributes, such as position in the product hierarchy, industry and technical characteristics, are defined for them. By updating product information you will send all changes to all websites and marketplaces connected to Pimcore at once without the need to manually edit the data on each page. The system will automatically select the data required for publication without your involvement. [ /upload/medialibrary/pimcore.jpg ]
