What is Product Information Management (PIM)

Everything you need to know about Product Information Management

PIM stands for Product Information Management and essentially is a software designed to centralize, manage, enrich and distribute your product content in the most efficient way possible.

Why PIM is so important?

PIM platform helps to manage tons of information including product descriptions, media files, technical product cards, and product attributes in a smart way.

It coordinates the process of sending the right information to different sales channels, such as :

Online marketplaces
Printed catalogs
E-commerce platforms
Websites
Apps

A quality PIM solution empowers multi-channel retailers to create excellent product and customer experiences. This approach results in omnichannel consistency, happier customers, increased traffic and higher rates of conversion leading to better sales.

"Online shopping is growing extremely fast worldwide and the digital representation of each product, also known as the digital twin, is the critical asset of every multi-channel retailer.

Just look at it this way - long before your customers buy your products, they already interact with them — or in fact they interact with their digital twins.

They look for photos, read descriptions, watch videos, compare prices, and study reviews on comparison websites. PIM is the best guarantee of taking control over the digital twin and thus, a solid foundation for e-commerce growth."
