Supplier management can include multiple functionalities in PIM. First, a limited CRM function to provide the department working with PIM with more information. Secondly, this function can help with separating or merging products that have multiple suppliers. As a third function, supplier management also means that the supplier concerned has its own portal environment in which not only product-related matters but also all other communication can take place. Again, the PIM purists do not find these functions in place in a Product Information Management system.
