Afineo PIM: Product information management

Whether you are an industrial enterprise, a distributor or a communications agency, our Product Information Management/Product Data Management (PIM/PDM) solution will enable you to collaboratively manage a central reference database of information that will quickly become the core of your business.

To sell and communicate more effectively and to become more reactive, you require reliable and permanently up-to-date product information (e.g., selling price, promotion date, photo, etc.). This is where the reference database comes into its own. 

This solution will soon pay for itself, cutting the time you spend on a single task in half, enabling you to use your internal resources for other tasks with a higher added value for the company and to disseminate your information more quickly. 

This system is ideally suited to: 

• managing several products and multiple versions (selling price, promotion date, photo, etc.)
• regular renewal of the publications (catalogues, website, etc.)
• major product updates
• busy periods (e.g., seasonal activity, staff shortages)
• publishing in several languages or versions
• collaboration between the marketing department, product managers and production teams (internal or external), etc.
