Products Information Management
What is a PIM?
Products Information Management systems (PIM) help centralise and harmonise marketing and technical information related to product listings and catalogues. We specialise in implementing and managing PIM systems for a range of customers in retail.
Why do retailers need PIM Systems?
PIM systems have been developed to cope with large quantities of diverse product information.
PIM can manage tens or hundreds of thousands of SKUs, numerous attributes and an almost infinite number of product images and descriptions in a constant stream from suppliers, all landing in one system in an organised manner.
