The PIM platform for retailers

Collect. Check. Centralize. Synchronize.

The ideal solution to collect product information from all your suppliers. Retailers need a powerful tool to help them centralize the product information, as well as pricing information, submitted by all their suppliers. It is essential for them to receive up-to-date data, whether it is aimed at professionals or consumers, while at the same time meeting the consumers’ expectations in terms of depth and richness of information: characteristics, allergens, use… This is the mission of a Product Information Management (PIM), which will support retailers in the management of all its suppliers’ product catalogs and the downstream synchronization and dissemination of product information. Forget paper and Excel files, a dedicated PIM retail solution will increase your reliability! And a PIM will save you a lot of time too…

Concretely, what will a PIM deliver to you as a retailer?

Thanks to a PIM solution for retailer, you will be able to:

1 Save time and money

All the product information submissions of your suppliers are automatically collected and centralized in your PIM platform. Logistical information, pricing, quality, consumer, e-commerce, multimedia and marketing are collated into your platform without any action on your part. Your suppliers send you standard compliant, reliable GS1 data via the GDSN network.

2 Improve data quality

As a retailer, you are liable for the information you make available to consumers as well as the traceability data required by the regulations. This is why receiving the product information entered directly by your suppliers will allow you to drastically reduce the risk of error and your liability exposure. At the same time, you will meet your end consumers’ requirements to benefit from complete and reliable information.
