PIM
A PIM (Product Information Management) system enables you to capture, manage, and distribute product information across all channels. Essentially, it serves as a subset of MDM (Master Data Management).
That said, it’s increasingly common for all product-related information (including suppliers, manufacturing sites, etc.) to be centralized within the PIM—creating what we call a product data repository.
This single source of product data allows you to perform various operations on your data: collecting, consolidating, enriching, and syndicating it. By eliminating silos, you establish a single point of reference for all your reliable, validated data, which is easily accessible and ready for distribution across digital and non-digital channels alike.
What are the benefits of a PIM solution?
