Top 3 findings from the report
The SPARK Matrix™: Product Information Management, Q4 2025 Report identified key findings, including:
- Leaders have evolved beyond basic PIM to deliver Product Experience Management (PXM).
- Enterprises expect cloud-native, composable architectures that integrate seamlessly with commerce ecosystems, ensuring they’re future-ready.
- AI only delivers value when it’s paired with strong governance controls.
Stibo Systems delivers on all three, driving its recognition as a Leader for the third year in a row.
“Stibo Systems is steadily evolving from a traditional Product Information Management provider into a strategic product data backbone for omnichannel commerce and supply chain ecosystems. Its open, multi-domain data model, strong governance framework, and API-first integration approach allow enterprises to connect PIM with ERP, e-commerce, PLM, and downstream analytics without fragmenting product truth across silos. By combining data stewardship workflows, role-based governance, and scalable cloud deployment, Stibo Systems helps organizations industrialize how product data is created, validated, and shared, turning what was once a back-office hygiene function into a core enabler of revenue growth, channel expansion, and regulatory resilience.”

Why Stibo Systems is a Leader
Stibo Systems has evolved our technology beyond PIM with our Product Experience Data Cloud, which recognizes that product data needs to tell stories — not just list attributes. Our syndication capabilities deliver this at scale, from content that adapts by region and channel context to supporting cross-border commerce.
Another consideration? Our composable, cloud-native solutions that let you start with PIM and add capabilities as needed. No wholesale platform changes. Enterprises can evolve at their own pace while staying agile enough to respond to market changes, which QKS Group has identified as paramount to future success.
QKS Group also called out Stibo Systems as a Leader for our AI capabilities that are built around strong governance controls. While AI itself isn’t a differentiator, when paired with the data governance that frames it, AI delivers exceptional value.
With AI embedded within our Product Experience Data Cloud and rules-based validation and automated remediation workflows, we ensure high-quality outputs while allowing organizations to maintain enterprise control.
