Questions

Isn't PIM expensive?
While our PIM is meant to hit the middle of the market, in terms of price, while providing premium features and support, we realize that some may still find it expensive. To help you justify further inquiry with relevant data, we'd like to point out the following statistic from Research Gate: Brands that sell on 3 or more channels average 156% more sales volume than brands selling only on one.
Our PIM was specifically designed to make omnichannel digital commerce both efficient and profitable. That means you can get to those target selling channels quickly and do it well. If you're bogged down in manual product data processes, you're likely losing far more to missed sales and returns than you would ever spend to implement a solid, next-gen PIM.
Is PIM just as hard to implement as an ERP?
Perhaps you can relate to this scenario: It’s week four of your ERP implementation with no end in sight. Instead of getting your team onboarded by the end of the month, you’re hoping just to get the system fully integrated by the end of month two or three. You’re bitter that you had to hire third-party support just to get past the surprises that thwarted all efforts when you tried to implement the ERP yourself.
We’ve heard many horror stories like this one, and that’s why we do things differently with our PIM implementation process.
The Amber Engine PIM implementation process was designed to be easy, because we believe this is the biggest issue for most systems and software suites: your team doesn’t want or know how to implement and use them, so these systems don’t bring the ROI you’re due.
With Amber Engine, not only is the software itself easy to use, but the implementation process was designed to rally your team behind even easier roll-out. All you need to get started with the Amber Engine PIM is your data spreadsheets. Then, our process takes care of all of the following:
- Creating users
- Setting permissions
- Preparing your data for import (including spreadsheets, images and other assets)
- Importing your data and assets
- Establishing your content rules
- Requesting your channel templates
- Mapping your data to channels
- Setting up exports for all your sales channels
What if your data is not ready?
Data can be uniquely handled and optimized right inside our PIM, but even then a brand dealing with thousands of SKUs could feel overwhelmed. Amber Engine offers data optimization services with 25, 100, or unlimited hours of data optimization done for you each month.
Isn't onboarding my brand to a PIM tedious?
Onboarding your product data into a PIM used to be tedious and time-consuming, but not anymore. With our dedicated support team, simple processes, and streamlined, next-gen platform, you can expect to be onboarded in 2-3 weeks, rather than 3-12 months.
The simple explanation of what you need is this: You just need a data spreadsheet, and we can get you started.
If you're the type who likes to visualize processes in advance, here is the complete list of steps our onboarding team will walk you through:
- Create users
- Set Permissions
- Prepare your data for import (spreadsheets, images, and other assets)
- Import your data and assets
- Establish your content rules (attributes/taxonomy)
- Request your channel templates
- Map your data to channels
- Export data to your selling channels
Again, all you need to get started is a data spreadsheet. We'll guide you from there!
How does a business start using a PIM?
- First, determine what system(s) you currently use to manage data, like ERPs or manual spreadsheets.
- Then, pool all your product data sources together (or connect them directly to your PIM). Use the PIM’s built-in data optimization and “clean up” tools to complete, correct and enrich data.
- Finally, prepare exported files for each channel you plan to sell on.
How long does it take to implement a PIM?
The Amber Engine PIM is cloud-based and quick to deploy. After a short onboarding period that lasts one to three weeks for most organizations, a business’s entire catalog can be optimized for multichannel e-commerce within weeks. Normally, this process takes months.
What functionalities does PIM include?
Our next-gen PIM includes three core functionalities:
- Data importation and aggregation
- Data organization and optimization
- Channel-specific data exportation
