Product Information Management (PIM)

Product Information Management (PIM) systems contain critical product data – SKU (Stock Keeping Unit), price, quantity – but don’t include additional information required for taking products to market.
Keeping marketing materials updated with product information is complex and labor-intensive. Marketing departments often have to rewrite and manually bundle information for catalogs and brochures. And the need for multilingual descriptions, country-relevant images and repurposed copy for web or mobile channels makes the challenge ever greater.
Brand owners need to bridge the gap to get Product Supply Chain and Marketing Supply Chain working together with a solution that:

• Interconnects Product Management and Marketing quickly and efficiently into one centralized resource.
• Allows Product Managers to categorize and associate products in any way they choose.
• Makes simpler the creation of promotions, product texts, visuals, leaflets, movies, etc.
• Guarantees product consistency.
