Why ComBinder PIM?

Product data is growing rapidly. Excel becomes cluttered, interfaces are lacking, and content is often inconsistent. ComBinder PIM creates a centralised, structured database for your product communication.

  • Centralised database
    Manage all product information in one place – in a structured, traceable way that can be expanded at any time.
  • BMEcat and interfaces
    Import supplier data and transfer product information directly to online shops, catalogues and other systems.
  • Variants and attributes
    Manage even complex products with variants, characteristics and technical specifications clearly in a single interface.
  • Multilingual content
    Manage product texts centrally in multiple languages and ensure consistent output across all channels.
  • Manage media centrally
    Organise images, PDFs and other documents directly within the product and keep all your data in one place.
  • Free to get started
    Get started for free with up to 1,000 products and try out the system risk-free in your own environment.

Ideal for businesses that want to organise their product data professionally and move away from Excel spreadsheets.

What is a PIM system?

A Product Information Management System (PIM) is used to centrally manage and organise product data and distribute it across various sales channels.

Typical content in a PIM includes:

  • Product names and descriptions
  • technical features and attributes
  • Variant information
  • Images, documents and media
  • multilingual content

ComBinder PIM has been specifically developed for companies that wish to manage their product data professionally and integrate it into shop systems, BMEcat catalogues or other output channels.

Unlike many complex enterprise solutions, ComBinder PIM is deliberately kept simple and is quick to set up.

 

Who is ComBinder PIM suitable for?

ComBinder PIM is designed for companies that regularly work with large volumes of product data.

Manufacturers
For companies with technical product data, variants, features and content subject to documentation requirements.

Retailers
For product ranges with a large number of items, frequently changing supplier details and multiple sales channels.

E-commerce companies
For online shops requiring consistent product data, translations and efficient maintenance.

Agencies
For service providers who organise and manage product catalogues, online shops or data processes for their clients.

Small and medium-sized businesses in particular benefit from a quick start in professional product data management – without the complexity of typical enterprise PIM systems.

Advantages over Excel

Many companies start out using Excel spreadsheets. However, as the number of products grows, this approach quickly becomes confusing and prone to errors.

  • Structured data management instead of disorganised spreadsheets
  • Centralised management of all product information
  • Consistent data across multiple sales channels
  • Easy management of variants and properties
  • Automated data imports and exports

 

Difference from enterprise PIM systems

Large-scale enterprise PIM systems are often complex, costly and involve lengthy implementation projects. ComBinder PIM takes a pragmatic approach.

  • Quick start
  • Intuitive operation
  • Practical features
  • On-premises rather than being forced to use the cloud
  • Scalable from a small range to a large catalogue
