Product information management

Also known as: PIM

Product information management (PIM) organises, maintains and distributes product information from a governed data foundation. It includes attributes, descriptions, translations and links to media. A PIM process supports enrichment and quality checks for different channels rather than merely managing inventory or financial transactions.[1]

A merchant can update a verified material specification centrally, then send the appropriate fields to each channel. Define authoritative sources and approval responsibility. Centralisation alone does not prevent errors: an incorrect source value can spread widely. PIM therefore does not replace checking information against the actual product.
