Faced with an increasingly large product assortment, a need for quality data for every channel invested in, and growing competition, retailers need to streamline their processes and offer end-consumers a successful shopping experience. PIM (Product Information Management) is the ideal tool to meet all these challenges. As an expert in retail product management, Equadis PIM stands out as THE solution of choice, as it adapts to the specific needs and structure of each distributor, retailer and wholesaler!
Today, digitalization is affecting all sectors, and retail is no exception. Data has become the digital gold of distributors and retailers for several reasons:
- consumers demand transparency, and want more information about the products they buy.
- the advent of e-commerce, which raises the complexity of commercialization across a wider range of sales channels.
Digital transition is the natural response to maintain a competitive edge in the market. But to succeed, it is essential to have the right support.
Collect and centralize all your suppliers’ product data
Your suppliers often have a large product catalog, and the quantity and quality of their data varies according to their profile, digital maturity, business sector and geographical location.
With Equadis PIM, you can massively collect and centralize all your suppliers’ product data in a single platform. Acquiring comprehensive, high-quality data is the key to improving your teams’ operational efficiency and delivering an optimal client experience. As a result, you can turn the diversity and volume of information you receive into a strategic asset, accelerating the time-to-market of your products.
Onboard and support your suppliers
