Requirements for a PIM system in the area of e-commerce and sales

Efficient product data management is the key to success in digital sales. With a powerful e-commerce solution, up-to-date product information can be managed centrally and made available for store systems, trading partners, marketplaces or sales documents at the touch of a button - media-compatible, automated and in the highest quality.

In modern e-commerce, it is crucial to provide product data quickly, accurately and across all media. A powerful PIM system forms the basis for efficiently managing structured product information and preparing it for different output channels. Electronic catalogs in BMEcat, ETIM or Excel format can be configured on a customer-specific basis and automatically transmitted to trading partners and portals.

 

For online stores, the API connection via REST services enables direct access to the centrally stored product database, which guarantees seamless integration into existing store systems. At the same time, sales teams have easy access to up-to-date content for presentations and offers - directly in Word, Excel or PowerPoint. With an end-to-end e-commerce solution, digital sales processes can be sustainably optimized and time-to-market significantly accelerated.

"With crossbase, I can relax and supply our markets, languages and sales channels with print and online media."
