A PIM provides an efficient way to control every component of product information, including data quality, taxonomy, digital assets, and item relationships. From one place, you can deliver clean, accurate data to every touchpoint of your business, whether it be to internal systems such as your ERP or POS system, or to outside channel partners and marketplaces. Our PIM allows distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers, and hardgoods retailers to serve specific product information to certain markets or vendors for a personalized commerce experience.

Digital Asset Management
The Digital Asset Management (DAM) tool helps you organize, store, manage, search, retrieve, and share digital files related to your products. It also can create renditions of images to produce the specific size, scale, and compression needed for each distribution channel. Digital assets include images, documents, spreadsheets, videos, and more.
Product Families/Groupings
Unilog’s PIM for eCommerce allows you to group similar items together into a product family and present them as one product with available options on your website. Product grouping streamlines your product pages and provides a quicker path to purchase.
