PIM Implementation

What’s a PIM for?

PIM optimizes company processes and structures product data in order to make it available for all sales channels faster and with less effort.

Step by step to the PIM of the future

Components of PIM Implementation:

Project Management

We provide support along with the introduction of PIM, whether at the beginning or during implementation. We adapt our project management and tools to your needs. In a scoping workshop, we define the setup and role allocation together.

Data Model

We develop a data model tailored to your needs, which is crucial for the success of the PIM. We take into account current challenges, future requirements, our experience, and industry benchmarks.

Integrations

We define the future system landscape and support you in the implementation of the interfaces according to your resources and knowhow. You have the option to take on the implementation yourself or hand it over to us. Either way, our integration team is ready to assist.

Best Practices

We implement best practices in areas like user administration and dashboards so that you have a ready-to-use PIM system early. We’ll take the time to explain and adapt these to your requirements to save you configuration work and allow you to work productively right away. PIM systems are also flexible, so changes can always be made later.

Individualization

We customize the processes to support your working methods and prepare you for future challenges. To do this, we configure target processes as workflows, create dashboards, implement data quality rules, and handle user administration and the search portal.
