Product Master Data Management





Product Master Data Management is only used to a very limited extent in a PIM system. Most PIM suppliers reason that this kind of information should be recorded in ERP. They are right if you go for a very sharply rigid approach of “best of breed”, but in practice there are plenty of examples that make a Product Master Data Management function desirable. Pricing in PIM in particular is becoming increasingly important, as is stock. With these two values it is sometimes possible to accommodate this in PIM, but not to add any intelligence to it. In practice we see that more and more companies are looking for these possibilities in or around a PIM system.
