Juggling data between e-commerce, ERP, Google Merchant Center, and other systems – anyone who runs a store is familiar with this. As product diversity and data quality requirements increase, managing product information quickly becomes a challenge.
With every new product, every language variant and every additional sales channel, the effort required to search for, process and update this data increases. The good news: So-called ‘PIM systems’ (Product Information Management systems) are designed to help. A PIM software is the ideal solution for companies that want to centralize and optimally present their product information.
Our checklist will help you to assess whether PIM is suitable for your company.

A PIM software
is helpful for you if:
You have a large number of products to manage.
You offer extensive and data-intensive products and product features.
You sell your products via various channels (e.g. online shop, catalog, marketplaces, social media).
You work with an ERP system that only offers limited data maintenance options (e.g. not enough fields for product features).
You are looking for a single central platform that different teams or departments can use to access product information.
→ If at least one of these statements is true for you, PIM is the ideal solution. Are you still unsure whether you really need another system? Then we would like to share the most important advantages of PIM with you to help you decide:
< ADVANTAGES >
5 advantages
of PIM software that you should know:
You can manage a large number of products and have all product information centrally in one place - available and up-to-date at all times.
Improved data management and more efficient processes reduce errors, increase consistency and optimize data quality. Automated workflows and simplified data maintenance also help to increase efficiency.
With the more efficient administration you save time, which enables new products to be launched more quickly. A positive side effect is that the product's overall appearance becomes more coherent and appealing, as more time is available for high-quality product descriptions and product photos.
Manual tasks are reduced so that updates can be implemented more quickly. As a result, employees have more resources to focus on strategic tasks, which significantly increases operational efficiency and saves costs.
Optimized product presentation and improved customer experience - the central control of product attributes, ratings and instructions strengthens customer trust and supports a positive perception of the brand.
