What is Product Information Management?

A product information management (PIM) system is a piece of software that assists businesses in managing large amounts of product data. A PIM system typically includes tools for managing product catalogues, pricing and inventory information, and product images.

Who uses Product Information Management?

Product information management systems are used by retailers, manufacturers, and distributors to manage product data and improve operational efficiency

What is the difference between PIM and DAM?

Product Information Management (PIM) is a software application that helps organisations manage large amounts of product information such as product descriptions, pricing, and availability. Digital Asset Management (DAM) is a software application that helps organisations manage digital assets such as images, videos, and documents.

What is the difference between PIM and MDM?

Both Product Information Management and Master Data Management systems are used to manage data within an organisation. PIM systems are specifically designed to manage product data including descriptions, pricing, and availability.

What is the difference between PIM and CMS?

Both Product Information Management and Content Management Systems are used to manage data and organise content but they have different focus areas. PIM systems are specifically designed to manage product data including descriptions, pricing, and availability. CMS systems on the other hand provide a centralised location to create, publish and manage web content. It's common for businesses to have both software systems in their technology stack to help them manage their product data and content more efficiently by allowing them to quickly and easily add product information to their website content
