Agility PIM Explained

What is PIM (Product Information Management)?

01 · Definition

What is PIM?

Managing product information across various channels can be complex and error-prone, leading to inconsistencies and inefficiencies. Product Information Management (PIM) is how enterprises transition from archaic, disconnected, manual processes to a global, go-anywhere commerce strategy that connects people to products.

PIM systems centralize and organize your product data, ensuring it's accurate and consistent.

Did you know?

86% of customers are unlikely to buy products from a brand after an experience with incomplete or inaccurate product information.

What Does PIM Software Do?

From a consumer's perspective, PIM is everywhere — you've already experienced its benefits.

Findability

If you've entered a few product criteria into a search engine and been presented with relevant results, that's the kind of SEO and findability PIM software delivers.

Consistency

If you've seen a product's specifications online, in a brochure, and on the packaging, and they're all correct and the same, that's the kind of consistency PIM software delivers.

Confidence

If you've made an online purchase with confidence because you've reviewed features, seen photos, and been offered accessories at checkout, that's the compelling content PIM software delivers.

Targeting

If you've received a flyer with a product selection tailored to your interests, that's the kind of targeting PIM software can deliver.
