PIM for Suppliers
The Riversand Product Information Management (PIM) Solution for Suppliers provides a collaborative solution for the Engineering, Sales, Marketing & eCommerce teams within an enterprise to rapidly and efficiently publish product information to customers and channel partners. This results in faster time-to-market, increased order accuracy and enhanced customer experience.
The Challenge
Manufacturers and distributors must provide accurate, detailed and up-to-date product information to their customer and channel partners. The rapid growth of the Internet and online commerce represents a significant new opportunity for companies to promote their products and reach new customers. Traditional channels of print catalogs and datasheets continue to be relevant to the business. It has thus become imperative for suppliers to cost-effectively manage demands across both their print and online channels. Product information in many companies today is set-up and managed in multiple “silo”ed systems, across the enterprise and even across geographies. This results in data inconsistencies and significant extra costs incurred in setting up product information for use throughout the enterprise.
 
Summary of key challenges
Multiple product data sources: Proliferation of disparate content sources, applications, projects, tools and processes across the enterprise.
Multiple channels: Syndicate and ensure brand-consistency across multiple channels such as corporate websites, e-commerce systems, portals, marketplaces & print collateral.
Multi-region coverage: Localization needs such as multiple languages, different currencies, different classifications and customer specific pricing.
Diverse/emerging data interchange standards: Evolving standards, pose a significant challenge to the manufacturer to stay current and compliant.
Data inaccuracy: Manual processes, and multiple processes for data processing, routing and syndication leads to substantial data inaccuracies.
Exploding volumes and "Dirty Data": With mergers and acquisitions, the number of data sources increase exponentially. The massive volume of product data changes frequently, resulting in unreliable, “dirty” product data.
