Reasons to Choose PIM Software
Product Information Management (PIM) is the software to store, enrich and distribute all the product information. PIM is needed when a company:
- Sells across multiple channels where product info — like image sizes and descriptions — needs to match each platform’s rules.
- Operates in different countries and needs product content in more than one language.
- Refreshes its product catalog regularly and can’t afford slow, manual updates.
- Holds product data scattered across formats and wants to get market-ready products out faster.
- Needs to bring new suppliers or manufacturers on board without the back-and-forth chaos.
- Handles complex technical data — specs, 3D models, configurators, measurements, and certifications.
- Wants every sales team, partner, and channel to work from one clean, trusted source of product truth.
- Is losing revenue because customers see wrong, outdated, or missing product information.

Scope of Our PIM Implementation Services
From initial audit to go-live, we cover every stage of PIM implementation — so you get a fully configured, integrated system, not just installed software.
PIM consulting
We audit your product data volume, map all users and stakeholders, evaluate available platforms, and build a clear implementation roadmap with realistic timelines and cost projections.
Platform selection
We evaluate PIM platforms on the market — including Akeneo and Pimcore — and recommend the best fit for your business based on your catalog, channels, and workflows.
PIM configuration
We configure the system end-to-end: product and supplier templates, workflows, approval chains, user roles, translation management, and required add-on modules.
System integration
We connect PIM to your existing systems — ERP, DAM, ecommerce platforms, marketplaces, and distribution channels — through clean, API-driven integrations.
Data migration
We migrate your current product data into the new system cleanly and completely, without disrupting live operations or losing a single product record.
Training and go-live
We run hands-on training so your team is confident from day one, then stay close during go-live to make sure the transition is smooth and successful.
Supplier portal setup
We build product templates for each product type so supplier submissions arrive complete and structured — mapped directly to your product families inside PIM.
Print and DAM integration
We connect PIM to your page layout and print design tools for catalogs, brochures, and spec sheets — keeping your print content as accurate as your digital content.
Shared catalog setup
We configure shared catalogs to give distribution partners and internal sales teams a clean, structured view of your product data — without exposing your full system.
Ongoing support
After go-live, we provide L1, L2, and L3 support along with corrective, adaptive, and preventive maintenance — so your PIM evolves alongside your catalog and channels.

“A well-implemented PIM removes the chaos from product data. When every team — marketing, sales, e-commerce — draws from a single validated source, errors disappear and time-to-market collapses. That’s the difference PIM makes when it’s done right.

Implementation Cost and ROI
A typical PIM implementation runs between $20,000 and $30,000 — covering discovery and business analysis, core feature configuration, and your most critical integrations. Final cost depends on catalog size, number of integrations, and workflow complexity.
Companies that implement PIM correctly see returns in three main areas.
What used to take days can take minutes. New products reach all channels simultaneously the moment they’re approved.
Customers see accurate, complete product information every time — fewer returns, higher satisfaction, better conversion rates.
Sales channels that were too slow or too expensive to manage before PIM become viable — expanding your reach without expanding your team.
Best PIM Software We Implement
After 68 projects and real hands-on work with the leading platforms, INNERLUXES recommends two PIM solutions that consistently deliver for our clients.
Pimcore
Best for: product distribution across both digital and non-digital channels. Open-source, PHP-based, API-first architecture with a native print publishing module. Trusted by 100,000+ companies across 50+ countries. Free Starter edition available (up to 10 users, 50K data objects). Professional and Ultimate editions priced on request.
Akeneo
Best for: sourcing and managing products from multiple suppliers. Open-source, PHP-based with powerful add-on modules: Onboarder for supplier portals, Shared Catalogs for aggregating and distributing product data, and Syndication for pushing content across channels. Free Community edition with 80,000+ downloads. Growth and Enterprise editions priced on request.
PIM architecture & data flows
INNERLUXES treats PIM as the central hub between data sources and distribution channels. File and media storage apps feed base product content. ERP pushes live pricing and stock. A feed management layer checks completeness and routes data to the right channel. Every digital and non-digital channel draws from one single, accurate source.
PIM for consumer goods
When you manage tens of thousands of SKUs across dozens of suppliers, data errors are inevitable without the right system. A PIM with a built-in supplier portal lets partners submit data in your format — your team moves from manual entry to quality control.
PIM for manufacturing
Technical product content demands accuracy. Multiple subject-matter experts from different teams often contribute to a single record. Automated validation workflows keep everyone on track — each contributor knows their step, and the next person is notified the moment it’s ready.
Getting best value from PIM
Decide early whether you want an embedded DAM module or a separate DAM integrated alongside PIM — the second option often gives a better balance of features and cost. Connect PIM to your A/B testing tool to experiment with product presentation and find what actually drives conversions.

PIM Software – Q&A
You need PIM when product data is spread across multiple systems, teams, or formats — and it’s slowing down launches, causing errors, or making it impossible to sell consistently across channels. If you manage hundreds of SKUs, operate in multiple languages, or onboard new suppliers regularly, PIM will pay for itself quickly.
A typical PIM implementation with INNERLUXES runs between $20,000 and $30,000. This covers discovery and business analysis, core feature configuration, and your most critical integrations. Final cost depends on catalog size, number of integrations, and workflow complexity.
It depends on your priorities. Akeneo excels at supplier onboarding and multi-channel syndication. Pimcore is the stronger choice when you need to distribute product content across both digital and print channels. Our consultants evaluate your specific situation before making a recommendation.
Timeline depends on catalog complexity, the number of integrations, and data migration scope. Most mid-market implementations run 3–6 months from kick-off to go-live. INNERLUXES has refined this process across 68 projects, so we know where delays happen and how to prevent them.
