PIM (Product Information Management) system implementations for e-commerce companies.
For companies operating in B2B and B2C models, we offer a comprehensive implementation of a product information management (PIM) system.
What is PIM technology?
Product Information Management is an innovative solution that allows centralization of product data management. Thanks to the digitalization of the product database in one place, we gain the certainty of up-to-date product information and the ability to synchronize information with other company systems. PIM is a key tool for effective product data management in e-commerce
Benefits of implementing a PIM system for e-commerce:
Aggregation of product information
Product databases in B2B systems are very extensive and contain many similar versions of products. The same goes for attributes, which are more numerous and may come from external databases. A PIM system allows you to gather product data from various sources in one place, making it easier to manage and update product information
Security
data
Implementing a PIM system such as Akeneo or Pimcore provides a high level of security. There is no need to give operators access to the entire e-commerce system, where they could make unauthorized changes. The PIM system also protects product data from unauthorized access, as all authorization levels are transferred to it.
Data integration and synchronization
The PIM platform enables precise management of data integration with ERP systems and other business tools. Simplified bulk data exchange for distributors when product parameters are changed by a manufacturer or supplier, or when a new product series is introduced. Automatic updating of data at specified time intervals.
Why should you choose to implement a product information management system?
The PIM system significantly impacts sales by improving the quality of product data, bringing products to market faster, and better coordinating marketing and sales activities.
Reduce operating costs
With a PIM system, your organization can store and manage product data in one place, which streamlines both online and offline sales processes, leading to lower operating costs.
Process automation
PIM solutions are intuitive and allow automation of many processes, which reduces the time needed to update product information and minimizes the risk of errors, Implementing a PIM can significantly speed up the processes involved in bringing new products to market.
Satisfaction
customers
Effective product information management and synchronization improves the quality of product data across all sales channels. As a result, your customers always receive up-to-date and accurate product information, which increases their satisfaction and loyalty.

What is the implementation time of the PIM system?
PIM implementation time can range from a few months to as much as a year, depending on the complexity of the project and the specific needs of your organization. PIM implementation depends on the scope of work, integration with existing systems and the amount of data to be migrated.
The more integrations with other systems (ERP, CRM, e-commerce), the longer it takes to configure and test them. Implementing advanced features can also increase implementation time.
Migrating large data sets, especially if they are incomplete or outdated, can lengthen deployment. Getting the data right before migration is time-consuming, but essential.
The availability and involvement of an internal team can significantly speed up the implementation process.
Each implementation is unique, so a thorough pre-implementation analysis is crucial to estimate the time and resources needed for a successful implementation. Implementing a PIM system can be complicated, but with the help of experienced PIM specialists and solution providers, the implementation process can be carried out effectively, minimizing risk and ensuring high quality product data.
When is it worth implementing a PIM system?
When product information management becomes more complicated due to the growth of the product database.
In situations where data quality is critical to a company's operations, PIM helps ensure that all information is accurate.
When sales are made through multiple channels such as online stores, sales platforms, wholesalers, or stationary stores.
When a company works with multiple vendors and business partners, PIM makes it easy to integrate and share information between different systems and platforms.
When selling products in foreign markets. PIM makes it easy to manage translations and product specifications.
