PIM systems are particularly relevant in companies that have an extensive product range - regardless of the size of the company. This also applies to manufacturers and retailers who work in different sales channels, sell internationally or have to change product data frequently. Within the company, the areas of marketing, product management, purchasing, data compliance, e-commerce and IT are primarily involved in the operation and maintenance of PIM.  In companies, product information is often not stored centrally, but in different departments and in a variety of formats and languages. As a result, some information may be lost or information may be stored multiple times, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs.  In addition, it is often difficult to know whether the available information is always up-to-date and correct. In order to manage product information efficiently and reduce costs for the entire product data management, it is worth considering the acquisition of a PIM system.
