How to Manage Product Information to Support Today’s Digitally driven eCommerce World!
Helping brands with Product Information Management services to improve the management and publication of product catalogue content.
The fast-paced digital transformation within the FMCG and CPG industries demands cutting-edge solutions to handle the escalating complexities in product data management to support eCommerce.
Emerging competition, private label growth, and the boom in eCommerce sales have forced brands to adopt omnichannel strategies to meet changing consumer behaviors. This shift introduces new challenges, as managing vast amounts of product data through outdated spreadsheets and fragmented databases is no longer sustainable.
Why a Product Information Management (PIM) System is Essential
Legacy systems struggle to keep up with the eCommerce landscape, offering limited scalability, poor data governance, and a lack of streamlined digital strategies. To meet the demands of modern retail activation and multichannel eCommerce marketing, brands need a robust Product Information Management (PIM) system.
A PIM or even your CMS platform, can provide a single, centralised source of truth for all product-related information – ranging from basic item details, pricing, and on-pack data, to digital assets. This centralisation improves data quality across the enterprise and helps expedite the New Product Development (NPD) and Product Launch.
By integrating quality PIM systems, companies can streamline data governance, increase product data accuracy, and accelerate time-to-market.
Optimising eCommerce with PIM Integration
Seamless integration of PIM systems into eCommerce platforms is key to successful digital marketing. Synchronising product data with industry-standard platforms such as GS1’s National Product Catalogue (NPC), 1WorldSync, Truesource, RangeMe, SKUvantage (Salsify), and various retailer supplier portals vastly enhances online presence and operational efficiency.
Brands can significantly boost eCommerce growth across major online stores like Coles Online, Woolworths Shop, Endeavour Drinks, Chemist Warehouse, eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Catch, Alibaba, Kogan, Click Frenzy, Google Shop, and more.
Maximising the ROI of Your PIM System
Working with mumerous vendors such as Sales Layer, CommerceNext, Akeneo, BizCaps, Innovit, Informatica, Lansa, Salsify, and Stibo offer top-tier PIM systems, the key to success lies in the people and processes behind the implementation.
A well-structured workflow that links teams, departments, and tasks ensures better control over product management – covering everything from supply chain tasks, recipe formulation, packaging, to digital asset management.
Data governance is also elevated through proper training, data management controls, and tools that enable different departments to operate efficiently.
