Product Information Management (PIM)

A rigid product master data policy demands that all data touchpoints be synchronized with the system of record. PIM software centralizes product data and can serve as the authoritative source for delivering consistent content 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 your business objectives and improve your product information management software.

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 that support scalability.

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

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, hierarchy management and a data catalog connector that works with your product ecosystem.

When managing product information, data quality impacts your customers’ experience and your conversion rates. 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
• Data 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 product content across global markets is critical. Timely, accurate translations are essential to engage audiences, strengthen brands and improve conversion rates.

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, eliminating manual processes.

Built-in support for a broad range of industry standards and formats 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 and stakeholders adhere to the same guidelines, driving 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 through our PIM software.

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 details to share across all sales channels, retail partners, ecommerce marketplaces 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.

Streamlined product data management processes enable you to reduce manual effort and errors while accelerating product launches and omnichannel updates.
