As product data and descriptions are increasingly used by trading partners and distributors to connect directly with consumers, the need for product data specifications and consistent product content has grown dramatically. Product Information Management (PIM) is a combination of processes and technologies designed to manage product information, ranging from technical specifications to selling points.
Engage in the relentless pursuit of better.
The focus of Product Information Management remains on providing the requisite information to sell products through multiple, potentially disparate, distribution channels. With customer initiatives to fully leverage online shops and electronic catalogs continuing to advance rapidly, PIM has become increasingly important and, executed properly, can serve to provide a single source of accurate, updated information that can be utilized by ecommerce websites, print catalogs, data feeds, and trading partners. The end result is a more defined, accurate flow of data between manufacturers and customers, resulting in fewer inefficiencies, decreased costs, and increased sales.
