Product information management in the manufacturing industry

Adeona PIM is a product information management software (PIM system) developed together with our customers and it scales to the needs of product information management in the manufacturing industry without customization. It helps our customers in the manufacturing industry create better multi-channel product experiences and streamline their product processes.

Products ready for sale in a few days

In the manufacturing industry, saving even a day in product launch time can have a significant impact on product sales, not to mention weeks.

With the help of Adeona PIM the manufacturer can get his product ready for sale in all sales channels in all markets in a few days. API interfaces enable integrations, for example, with the company's own PDM and ERP systems, or with product databases such as STK, LVI-info, EPREL and so on.

Through integrations, important product information can be imported from other systems, such as dimensional drawings or installation and maintenance instructions, and information can be exported directly to the online store or the retailer's product information system. Localization and market-specific special needs, for example language requirements, are also easy to take into account.

Smart Import is very helpful when processing product information. With the help of configurable Excel templates, you can automate product updates from, for example, Excel materials from different suppliers and import product information suitable for the data model directly into the Adeona PIM system.

Sales Tool can be used to publish good quality, clear and consistent sales materials to support sellers and retailers. With the Sales Tool you can create, for example, product cards, price tags, retailer price lists and product catalogs with a few button clicks. 

From Media Bank it is easy to share images, marketing materials, certificates and other documentation throughout the product's life cycle with customers.

PIM ensures the quality of product information presented to customers

In the product management of the manufacturing industry, you can think that PIM continues where PDM ends. The PIM system is an integral part of the manufacturing industry's IT infrastructure, acting as a gatekeeper between internal systems and the customer.

Adeona PIM ensures that product information in the manufacturing phase is structured and enriched with all the information the customer needs, such as images, use case descriptions, user manuals, instructional videos, certificates required by the market, etc. Product information management is used to ensure that all industry regulations have been followed with regard to product information, and that all required product information is in place and easy for the customer to find. PIM may not be the source of all information, but it acts as a final checkpoint, taking care of the quality and correctness of the product information displayed to the customer.
