How Do Retailers Use PIM Tools?
Used by different teams across the business in different ways, PIM tools are utilised by: product managers and data teams to identify and fix problematic data, and marketing teams to push product data out to all desired distribution channels.
With PIM tools, retail brands simply upload core product details, such as descriptions, technical specifications, media files, metadata and marketing content to this central system. Then, it will automatically publish or update these details across all of its shopping channels.
PIM software integrates with e-commerce platforms to make product data available on online stores - ensuring products are set to market at rapid speed compared with more manual processes.
