PIM for e-commerce | PIM ecommerce integration

You must sell products online. Period.

Today, it’s not a question of whether customers should be able to buy your products online – only a question of how.

But it can present challenges...

That e-commerce is a necessity does not make it simple, however.

If you try to manage your product information exclusively in Excel sheets and the ERP system, you run into a number of challenges. Creating and maintaining product data is a resource-intensive, manual task, and the ERP system does not allow you to do so smartly. In the end, it costs in terms of your time-to-market.

Furthermore, inconsistent or missing ecommerce product data management will create a bad customer experience and you will lose sales if customers cannot combine products and find related products in your online store.

The right Product Information Management system gives you full control of your product data, thus turning it into a competitive advantage.

You can scale your business faster to new audiences and new markets, and you can spend your time creating the best customer experience instead of correcting errors.

The key benefits of using Perfion PIM for ecommerce:

Rapid importing and processing of supplier data.
Easy enrichment of product information from suppliers.
Fast language versioning of product texts.
Full control of how information is categorized and displayed in the online store.
Advanced search and filtering.
Efficient handling of product images, videos and other media types.
Easy distribution of updated product data to Amazon, Google Shopping, etc.

When choosing a PIM solution for your online shop, you are faced with a basic choice:

Should it be an integrated PIM solution built into your e-commerce module that can only deliver product data to your online store? Or should it be a best-of-breed PIM solution that can simultaneously handle product information for other websites, business portals, catalogues, price lists, data sheets, mobile apps and all your other sales and marketing channels?

While an integrated solution will often be cheaper in the short term, a best-of-breed PIM system offers important advantages with regard to ecommerce data management:

You get a more flexible solution with greater functionality, and most importantly, you make yourself independent of your online store solution. When your product information lives in your PIM system, you can seamlessly change your online shop when your needs change – without losing your product data.

“In Product Data Management, the Single Source of Truth approach is the only thing that makes sense to us. The Perfion PIM system supports our B2B and B2C e-commerce and has become a real game changer in the online channel business. The investment in PIM is really paying off."

“Without a PIM system to manage all the product data that cannot be stored in an ERP system, it had not been possible to create our new B2B webshop.

We can also see that the number of orders in the webshop increases steadily as we import more and more detailed product information, images and other data into Perfion. The more products we present optimally in the webshop, the more we sell."
