The main signs that a company needs a PIM: product data scattered across multiple Excel files, recurring errors and inconsistencies in records, time lost re-entering the same information, difficulties managing multiple languages, catalog rejections by distributors and a time-to-market for innovations that is too slow.
As soon as a company sells across several channels and manages a large catalog, a PIM becomes profitable. A PIM addresses these issues by centralizing a single source of truth, standardizing data according to market rules and automating quality controls and validation workflows.
The Equadis PIM goes further thanks to its acquisition connectors, which make it possible to centralize data from all sources in one click (ERP, PLM, DAM, suppliers, files), automatically standardize it to GS1 and ETIM standards, and automate enrichment, validation and distribution processes — up to 98% catalog compliance and up to 70% time savings.
