AtroCore is a German open-source business application platform for master data, integrations and automation, with AtroPIM as its product information management solution. It serves small and mid-sized manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers that want a configurable PIM they can self-host or buy as SaaS. Its strongest fit is GPLv3 licensing, a modular extension model and published SaaS and module pricing.
Overview
AtroPIM runs on the AtroCore platform and is published under the GNU GPLv3 licence. It provides a data model configurable from the user interface, built-in digital asset management, a REST API and an API-first, modular architecture. A job manager runs heavy imports and feeds in the background. A configurable integration layer exchanges data in both directions with ERP, CRM, online shops, marketplaces and file-based sources, on a schedule or on demand. Because AtroCore is a general data platform, it can also manage non-product master data.
AtroCore offers a free Open-Source Edition for self-hosting, with optional paid support, services and premium modules. A SaaS Edition starts at EUR 400 per month and a SaaS Premium Edition, with all premium modules, enterprise hosting and Gold support, starts at EUR 1,930 per month, both on three-month terms. Licensing has no per-record or per-attribute charges. AI capabilities are provided through an AI Integration premium module priced at EUR 50 per month for SaaS or as a one-off fee for on-premise use.
AtroCore GmbH was founded in 2020 and is based in Regensburg, Germany. It describes itself as an owner-managed software company. The vendor positions AtroPIM against other open-source and low-cost PIM options for organisations that want access to source code and control over hosting. The product line includes AtroPIM and the wider AtroCore platform, with modules sold through an online store. The free open-source edition gives prospective buyers a way to test the software before committing to a paid plan.
