PIM implementation that starts with your product data model.
We plan, implement and integrate product information management (PIM) systems for manufacturers, distributors and ecommerce businesses with complex catalogs.
Data modelling, taxonomy, migration, cleansing and ERP / ecommerce integration — delivered by engineers, not just configurators.
Signs you've outgrown spreadsheets and your ecommerce admin.
A PIM becomes worth it when product information is maintained by several people, for several channels, from several sources.
- Thousands of SKUs with dozens of attributes per product
- Product data copied between ERP, spreadsheets and your store
- Supplier data arriving in different formats every week
- Separate versions of the catalog for each channel or region
- Product launches waiting on missing specs or images
- No approval workflow — anyone can change anything
If three or more of these are true, a PIM will usually pay for itself.

A PIM is only as good as the model underneath it.
Most failed PIM projects fail on data modelling, not software. That's where we spend the most care.
Before configuring any tool, we work out what a product actually is in your business — how product families, variants, bundles and kits behave, which attributes matter to which categories, which values are controlled lists, and what has to stay consistent across every channel.
From there we build the structure, migrate existing data, clean what's inconsistent, set up enrichment and approval workflows, and connect the PIM to the systems that feed it and the channels it feeds.
One source of truth. Multiple destinations.

Choosing the right PIM.
We are platform-neutral. The right PIM depends on your catalog, team, integrations and budget — not on which licence a partner resells.
Open-source PIM
Self-hosted platforms you control fully, with no per-user licence fees.
- Full data and hosting ownership
- Extensible data model
- Custom connectors and workflows
- Lower long-term licence cost
Best for: Teams with strict data ownership or hosting requirements, and predictable long-term costs.
SaaS PIM
Managed platforms with faster time to value and built-in connectors.
- Quick start, vendor-managed hosting
- Ready-made channel connectors
- Implementation and data model design
- Integration to ERP and stores
Best for: Teams that want speed and lower upfront infrastructure overhead.
Custom PIM
Purpose-built product information systems when packaged tools do not fit.
- Unusual product structures
- Strict hosting or compliance needs
- Tight integration with existing systems
- Code and data you own outright
Best for: Businesses whose catalog or compliance needs break standard PIM assumptions.

How a PIM implementation runs.
A typical first phase takes eight to sixteen weeks. We phase larger programmes so value arrives early.
Discovery & audit
We review your catalog, sources, channels, teams and current tools, and document the rules people keep in their heads.
Data model & taxonomy
We design product families, attributes, allowed values, relationships and the category tree for each channel.
Build, migrate & integrate
We configure or build the PIM, migrate and cleanse existing data, and connect ERP, DAM and ecommerce systems.
Launch & optimize
We train your team, go live channel by channel, then automate enrichment and quality checks.
Phased delivery means you see working value before the full programme ends.
What changes after implementation.
The outcomes clients care about are operational, not technical.
Faster product launches
New products go live when the data is ready, not when someone finds time to copy it into every system.
One version of the truth
Every channel reads from the same approved record, so specifications stop contradicting each other.
New channels in weeks
Adding a marketplace or distributor becomes a mapping exercise instead of a new spreadsheet.
Measurable data quality
Completeness scores per channel show exactly which products are missing what.
Less manual work
Bulk edits, imports and supplier onboarding run through rules rather than copy-paste.
Ready for AI and search
Structured attributes power filters, product schema and AI-driven product discovery.
A catalog that becomes an asset you can scale — not a bottleneck you work around.
Next steps usually include.
Once your PIM is live, most clients move on to filling gaps and feeding channels at scale.
