Product Information Management 

A rigid product master data policy demands that all data touchpoints be synchronized with the system of record. PIM can serve as the central repository for this data and the source of information and content to be sent to downstream systems and applications.

Stibo Systems Platform supports a growing list of inbound and outbound integrations, including tools to assign and manage unique global identifiers to attributes across the enterprise. Integrations include MongoDB, Amazon SQS, SAP Material Master Connector, Hybris, and Ariba CIF/cXML, as well as outbound data integration using traditional ETL techniques.

When implementing PIM with other apps, you will find this combination, along with our existing integration suite (Oracle AQ/JMS/IBM Websphere/REST/JSON), offers a wide variety of options to quickly realize business objectives.

To have a robust data foundation, you need to efficiently govern how product data is used, managed and shared across your business with data modeling, workflows, business rules and controls.

Take advantage of machine learning-based auto-classification, as well as powerful mapping tools to associate products with multiple classification structures, domains, entities and assets. These provide univocal terms of reference to support superior decision making and business results.

Additional modeling and governance capabilities support the delivery of trusted data to meet specific industry needs. These include rule-based product classification, supply chain packaging and hierarchy management and a data catalog connector.

When managing product information, data quality impacts the quality of your customers’ experience. Make sure your data is accurate and fit for purpose by leveraging built-in data validation rules, data cleansing capabilities and quality checks. Functionality includes:

• Error handling that automatically flags required corrections and persistent error messages between user sessions
• Accuracy and completeness metrics
• Data profiling analysis that pinpoints quality issues and provides insights on data structure, content and relationships

In addition to quality, delivering relevant content across global markets is critical. Timely, accurate translations are essential to engage audiences, strengthen brands and improve conversions.

Stibo Systems Platform empowers users to efficiently manage the localization of product data through seamless integration with leading language translation providers, including Lionbridge, Transperfect, translations.com and SDL. You can also leverage generative AI to implement translations using OpenAI’s large language model.

Built-in support for a broad range of industry standards provides distributors and manufacturers a proven out-of-the-box approach to importing and exporting product data that conforms to leading industry formats. This ensures trading partners adhere to the same guidelines and drives a collective competitive edge.

Stibo Systems Platform consistently updates and adds support for emerging standards, ensuring users can continue to work within the latest parameters and easily enter new markets and sectors.

This includes optimized GDSN participation for onboarding/publishing GS1 formatted data, as well as support for AutoCare, TecDoc and NAPA standards for the automotive sector and BMEcat, ETIM and ECLASS classification systems.

Centralized PIM enables you to have trustworthy product information to share across all sales channels, retail partners and digital platforms.

Through our integrated Product Data Syndication cloud service, you can ensure consistent product representation across every touchpoint while maintaining channel-specific requirements.
