Optimise your product and media management with Pimcore as PIM/DAM

What is Pimcore?

Pimcore combines PIM, DAM, CMS and e-commerce in an integrated platform that enables companies to efficiently manage product information, digital assets and content and publish them consistently across various channels. This seamless integration ensures improved data consistency, optimised workflows and greater flexibility in digital business processes and sales channels.

Pimcore as PIM/DAM

Pimcore enables the centralised management of complex product data and its consistent publication. Flexible data models and optimised workflows improve data maintenance, while integrated tools ensure high data quality. APIs facilitate the integration of external data. The ability to centrally manage product information and distribute it in real time across a variety of channels, such as web shops, mobile apps, print catalogues, or point-of-sale systems, ensures consistent, cross-channel user experiences. Pimcore thus helps companies not only to improve their internal processes, but also to shorten time-to-market and maximise the quality of product data along the entire value chain.

A typical workflow could look like this, for example

INFOLOX Datenanreicherung

1. Data enrichment

When new product data is entered, a workflow is started that automatically requests the necessary enhancements (e.g. images, descriptions, technical data).

INFOLOX Freigabeprozess

2. Approval process

Before product information is published, it goes through a defined approval process in which various departments or users (e.g. product managers, marketing, quality assurance) check and approve the data.

INFOLOX Veröffentlichung

3. Publication

After approval, the product data is automatically distributed to the relevant channels, e.g. e-commerce systems, marketplaces or catalogues.

Each step of the workflow can be flexibly configured, including defining which users or roles perform the corresponding tasks, which conditions must be met to proceed to the next stage, and which actions should be performed automatically.


Integrated data validation

Data quality is crucial for businesses, and Pimcore supports this with integrated data validation functions within workflows. Predefined validations can be applied during the workflow to ensure that the data entered complies with the company's quality standards and business rules.


Examples of data validations include

INFOLOX Vollständigkeitsprüfungen

Completeness checks

Ensure that all required fields, such as product name, price, or image, are present and correctly filled in.

INFOLOX Plausibilitätsprüfungen

Plausibility checks

Checking whether the data entered is logical and correct, e.g. whether prices are within an acceptable range or technical specifications meet the specified criteria.

INFOLOX Formatvalidierungen

format validations

Ensure that the data entered complies with the specified formats, e.g. the correct number of decimal places for prices or correct units of measurement.

If the data does not meet the validation criteria, the workflow can automatically request adjustments or make corrections before the next step is executed. These data validations prevent the publication of incorrect or incomplete information and increase overall data quality.

This integrated solution ensures consistent brand presentation and centralised management of all content. Content can be adapted to the specific requirements of each channel, enabling a personalised approach to the target group. New products and content are available in real time on all platforms.

This allows companies to develop targeted marketing strategies and improve user experiences through real-time adjustments. Pimcore's flexibility also promotes rapid adaptation to market changes, ensuring that content and products remain up to date and can respond to trends or customer needs. Furthermore, data-driven analytics enable companies to identify which content and offers resonate best with their target audiences. This data-driven decision-making enables continuous optimisation of marketing campaigns and increases the effectiveness of communication. In addition, cross-channel personalisation helps to create a consistent brand experience that strengthens customer engagement and increases brand loyalty.
