Working simply with PIM: Sharing information easily
Sharing information quickly and efficiently is important for anyone working with product information. Colleagues need to be able to quickly find up-to-date product data for things such as marketing, customer inquiries, inventory management and publishing new products in the web shop.
When communication is smooth here, you avoid not only delays, but also problems. You no longer get the wrong information delivered and don’t have to search for the right data, instead everything is accurate and easy to find.
Does this sound ideal for you too? Then you may be in need of a PIM system!
Easily share information through one central location
What a PIM system offers you is one central place for all your commercial product information. This gives you huge benefits that save your business time:
- Suppliers can submit product information directly to the PIM system
- All data is collected, enriched and transmitted in one place so you never have to search for the correct data again
- From the PIM you can forward your product information to all your channels, simply and quickly
- You can set a workflow for the article creation process
Easily share information with a good workflow
Are you already familiar with a workflow? If not, you should actually think of it as a kind of automatic task list of which the PIM system is the manager. The PIM system ensures that the article creation process in the PIM is running smoothly, and notifies the appropriate colleagues of the steps to take.
Example:Your company gets a new product in its product line. The first colleague who needs to work on this will be notified immediately. His job is to enrich the basic information supplied by the supplier with things like the name, color, length and width of the product. When this colleague has completed this, he indicates it in the PIM system. The PIM notifies the next colleague that he can get started on step 2, adding images. And so the process continues step by step without communication problems.
Conclusion
In short, a PIM system makes many forms of your communication easier and more efficient. It improves communication between departments, optimizes workflow and ensures that you always have up-to-date and consistent product data across all channels where you operate.
With all these time savings, you have more time for more important tasks, ideal right? Want to learn more about what a PIM can add for your business? If so, please feel free to contact us for no-obligation advice, we are happy to help!
