Managed for you

Bluestone PIM is a SaaS solution that runs natively on AWS.
It's a true multi-tenant SaaS – multiple users share a single instance of the software with fully isolated data. This way, your data is secure and inaccessible to others, and you are using the latest software without worrying about updates.
No need to set up hardware in a data center and pay for its management. With Bluestone PIM, you've got it all covered.
To ensure availability, we keep our services and databases running across multiple data centers.
AWS verified – Bluestone is an AWS Select Technology Partner.

Unlike traditional enterprise suites that aim to cover all your needs in one package, we want you to retain the freedom to build a stack of best-in-class solutions.
Bluestone PIM has interfaces that allow you to connect it to the software of your choice.
We provide two main sets of APIs: the Management API, which you can use to exchange product content with Bluestone PIM, and the read-only Public API, which lets you retrieve the latest approved product content from PIM for real-time use. The Public API docs are available here.

The application is split into multiple microservices that dynamically scale up and down depending on usage.
A flexible pricing model allows you to pay for what you need and use – your contract can be adjusted as needed.
You will not be affected by other users' use of Bluestone PIM.
Because the system is cloud-based, you always have a reserve of power for that big processing task.

Your data is safe in Bluestone PIM. All our services run in secure data centers and servers operated by AWS.
Data centres are ISO 27001 certified and SOC1/SOC2 compliant.
In addition, we have our own rigorous security measures to ensure all customer data is private.
Our network and services are continuously monitored for abnormal activity. All communication to and from Bluestone PIM is encrypted and all API requests require authentication and authorization using OAuth2/OpenID Connect and JWT.

The Bluestone PIM platform is built using the MACH principles of Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS, and Headless technology. Together, these principles represent modularity, unrestricted connectivity, and cloud-native performance. The result is freedom of choice for software users to build their stacks of best-of-breed software.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1 - What is headless PIM?

Headless PIM is built on the architecture that separates the front end (design layer) from the backend (technical support layer). Using headless platforms gives companies freedom in designing the user interface, which significantly promotes omnichannel strategies. It also enables quickly implementing new solutions and connecting to other devices and channels.
Headless PIM software like Bluestone PIM can be used as an engine to enrich product data and ensure good product quality by simply using APIs. Fast connectivity allows customers to react to the latest trends and leverage newer technologies.

2 - What is a multi-tenant SaaS PIM?

A multi-tenant SaaS PIM is software operating in the cloud in a Software-as-a-Service model. Its single instance and database serve multiple users (tenants) with complete isolated data, so the users do not have access to each other's data.

Using multi-tenant SaaS PIM provides security, unlimited scalability, and ongoing maintenance and updates. In a perfect duo with APIs, cloud PIM gives you the agility to easily and fast integrate with various platforms, channels, and apps.

3 - What is API-first approach?

Modern software needs to be flexible and communicate with its surroundings. It is possible by implementing a set of features called Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs).

Many recognizable tech companies are part of the API economy. Slack, Shopify, and Hubspot, to name a few. API-first applications are designed and developed to communicate with other IT components seamlessly. Thanks to this approach, companies have the freedom to develop their technology without compromise and future-proof their tech stack.

4 - What is product data modeling in PIM?

Product data modeling is an essential part of PIM implementation. The process defies all the product's data elements throughout the product life cycle.
With the support of the PIM tool, users can, for example, categorize and organize products and set item-to-item relations by creating a product category and classification tree or setting compound and group attributes.
