Cloud-based Product Information Management (PIM) systems are becoming the norm as powerful tools for businesses to centralise and streamline product information management. They are hosted off-site by third-party providers and offer a single source of truth for product data, accessible from anywhere at any time with a secure internet connection.

B2B and B2B businesses alike are having to get used to the challenges and demands of managing vast volumes of increasingly extensive product data. Excel has been the longstanding go-to tool for product information management, but its limitations are becoming painfully apparent in the rapidly-evolving modern e-commerce ecosystem. That’s why transitioning from Excel to a Product Information Management (PIM) system offers several compelling benefits to counteract Excel’s deficiencies and strengthen operational efficiency and market competitiveness.

Understanding how Product Information Management and Digital Asset Management work hand-in-hand is crucial for merchants of all types aiming to optimise their online presence. PIM focuses on managing detailed product information, while DAM is dedicated to organising and distributing digital assets such as images, videos, and essential documentation. The integration of the two systems offers a strategic approach to managing product data and digital content.
