Central and Structured Data Handling with PIM

Why do retailers, manufacturers, and the industries require PIM solutions? The answer is simple: A configurable PIM solution helps you in organizing your product data.

    Benefits of PIM

    Manage all your business objects in the user-generated data model.

    How does everything relate to everything? PIM stands for Product Information Management, constituting the basis for all marketing and sales activities revolving around your product data. Here, all product data is stored and organized centrally: Be it text descriptions, images, videos, or attributes of products such as price, size, and color. This data can then be combined and presented so as to create a unique Product Experience.

    Our standard software, eggheads Suite, distinguishes itself from other systems through its scope of functions: Our solution for PIM and PXM are self-describing – just like your product information with our system.

    Too complex? Not even close. Simply make use of our global roles-and-rights concept, our administrative user management, and the graphical user interface which can be customized by users via drag-and-drop. This way, everybody only sees the data and has access to the functions the respective user really needs.
