PIM platforms: 17 vendors compared
PIM platforms centralise product data (attributes, classifications, relations, translations and media references) and publish it to commerce systems, print and channels. They are the most common entry point for manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers that manage thousands to millions of SKUs. Platforms differ mainly in data model flexibility, workflow depth, B2B classification support (ETIM, ECLASS), integration options and the size of their partner ecosystem.
