What does a PIM system do?
A PIM system (product information management) is the central place for all data about your products: names, descriptions, specifications, dimensions, photos, manuals and translations. You take the basic data from your ERP or from supplier files, add to it and check that every product is complete. The PIM then sends the right data to your webshop, to marketplaces such as bol and Amazon, to your dealers and to a printed catalogue. That way you change something once and it is correct everywhere.
Which PIM suits you?
Webshops and brands that mainly sell online often start with a PIM with fixed monthly prices and ready-made integrations, such as KatanaPIM from Leiden and Plytix, which has a free plan. Besides their paid versions, Akeneo and Pimcore have a free open-source edition for those who manage the technology themselves.
Manufacturers and wholesalers with many technical products look at Compano, made for construction and installation with ETIM classification and links with data pools. inriver, Sales Layer and Salsify are made for larger brands and manufacturers that sell their products through many channels and retailers, with AI for writing and translating texts.
What should you look out for?
- Integrations: check whether your webshop, your ERP and the marketplaces you sell on are supported as standard, or whether you need a link via the API or an integration partner.
- Number of products and languages: many PIMs charge by the number of items (SKUs), users and languages. Work out what you have now and what you expect in a few years.
- Images and documents: some PIMs have their own DAM for photos and manuals, with others you link a separate system.
- Costs: on top of the monthly fee you often pay once for the setup and for migrating your data. Ask what the implementation costs before you choose.
