Providing usable product data to your distributors is essential, but making the most of your own technical and commercial information internally is crucial to stay competitive. The Afineo PIM structures your product domain from A to Z.
Guaranteed compliance
Optimized collaboration
Stronger supplier and distributor relationships
Industrial companies, plants, manufacturers : whatever term is used in your sector, as a manufacturer you have to supply quality products and usable data to your partner distribution network, but also to capitalize on a mass of internal information.
Manufacturers who use Afineo maximize their performance:
Centralize, structure and enrich your product information and digital resources to optimize your internal processes. Afineo makes collaborative work easier, builds in regulatory requirements and helps you improve the quality of your data. With Afineo, you speed up the go-to-market of your products, strengthen your commercial relationships and gain competitiveness in your markets.
Use the syndication of your data from third-party systems, ERP, CRM, files and more, to centralize and consolidate the data most useful to your business in a multi-domain MDM foundation.
Product, customer and supplier data: a single database then becomes the reference inside the Afineo platform, and the teams concerned by each type of information work from the same data, kept up to date.
Your product information, for example, is available in a product domain (PIM), and your digital resources in an asset domain (DAM). Your teams benefit from real-time updates of a piece of information on a product record. No risk of duplicates, no risk of errors, no risk of incorrect information circulating.
You also get a global, real-time view of your data and of the associated working processes. Cross-reference the data to take the best decisions. Grow your business by rolling out the right operational action plan.
Genuine data governance rests on precise working processes to guarantee compliance and the integration of the regulations in force in each country: allergens, laws protecting minors from alcohol and tobacco, health and safety rules, currency, language, tax and more.
The Afineo platform lets you take control of every question of compliance and legal constraint: a configurable workflow lets you break your working stages down according to your requirements and business needs, and assign each stage to one of your experts.
Every stage is therefore approved by the person responsible for the decision, who assigns the next task to the next contributor. The workflow is carefully organized, gives your teams accountability and lets no error through.
The result? Data of the highest quality, with perfect integrity, that can feed automated data flows, for syndication to your sales channels for example.
You also ensure confidentiality by setting specific user access rights according to each contributor’s level of authorization.
Managing data with Excel files and having it approved through email exchanges is time-consuming and multiplies errors.
The Afineo platform automates tedious tasks: your teams are freed from unrewarding work. No more time-consuming manual tasks!
Freed from that burden, they focus their effort on their core job and optimize their development across every manufacturing process.
A single collaborative platform and its workflow encourage collaboration like never before.
Productivity and motivation become new engines of performance!
Take control of the product life cycle by relying on centralized data. You get real-time visibility of your deliveries of raw materials and spare parts, ready to be assembled.
You can make the most of that view by looking at your customer and supplier data as well.
Every action is recorded: the work of a team member on a product record, for example, is traceable.
Suppliers, customers and teams alike save time and gain efficiency thanks to a task coordination system, automated workflows, and automatic alerts and notifications.
The Afineo platform comes with an ETL, transforming data on the fly.
You can therefore schedule your data flows and personalize them so that they match the expectations of each of your channels.
Syndicate product feeds in bulk, along with their visuals, according to your strategy: B2B marketplaces, e-commerce, print with InDesign, PDF, CRM and more.
FTP, SFTP, API and web service connections simplify your tasks.
By centralizing your product data and maintaining its quality, you can pass it on responsively to your partner distribution networks.
The saying “first come, first served” often proves true when a reseller urgently looks for a supplier to replace one or more SKUs.
The Afineo platform cannot help you move faster than your own shadow, but it does let you be more responsive than your competitors.

a competitive advantage?
