What is PIM?

PIM stands for Product Information Management, and is a system for the administration and distribution of your company's product data. PIM systems create a single source of truth for your product data. These tools manage all the information needed to market and sell products through your e-commerce channels. This data can then be used to support and optimise your e-commerce strategy.

When should you consider a PIM system?

It’s time to explore the possibilities of a PIM system when your manual product administration processes no longer scale to meet your business needs. If you want a practical rule of thumb, ask yourself, "How often does my organisation copy and paste product information from one system to another?" The more often you do this, the greater the need for a PIM system to automate some of the manual workflows and ensure data accuracy.

Improved customer experiences and high data quality

- Fewer returns due to better product descriptions and more informed purchasing decisions - Increased basket size (value of shopping cart) due to improved data basis for cross-selling - Better conversion rates on the webshop - Fewer product data errors and better control over how information is categorised and displayed in relation to advanced search and filtering

Increased measurable business value and faster value creation

- Faster introduction of new products in the product catalogue - Faster translation processes for product information - Faster production of offers for customers - Faster time to market for online products
