Build trust, accelerate growth, and ensure compliance with a single source of product truth
When specs, certifications, and standards like CCPI are managed in one place, building materials manufacturers save time, enable growth, and stay compliant. Pimberly centralises and enriches product data, helping teams launch faster and deliver accurate information to merchants and distributors.
Building materials manufacturers store product data across ERPs, spreadsheets, and shared drives, creating conflicting information. Incomplete or inconsistent data delays launches and damages confidence in the brand.
Pimberly brings all technical data, imagery, and documentation into one structured hub, ensuring everyone accesses the same accurate record. Version control and approval workflows keep information consistent, compliant, and ready for every channel.
Thousands of SKUs, variations, finishes, and compliance attributes make construction catalogues difficult to manage. Legacy systems and spreadsheets slow updates and increase the risk of costly errors.
Pimberly’s flexible data model handles unlimited attributes and variations, enabling fast bulk edits and scalable enrichment as new lines are introduced. Product families stay aligned and up to date across every route to market.
Construction products often depend on related parts such as fixings, kits, and compatible components. Without clear associations, customers order incorrectly, leading to confusion, returns, and added cost.
Pimberly defines and maintains these relationships centrally, mapping assemblies, variants, and accessories to prevent errors. Structured hierarchies ensure every downstream channel displays the correct connections.
Producing and maintaining technical sheets, manuals, and declarations manually is slow and error-prone. Outdated or inconsistent documents risk non-compliance and customer frustration.
Pimberly’s Product Data Sheets module automates document generation from your approved product data, ensuring every version is accurate and ready for merchants, specifiers, and installers. Updates cascade automatically across every published source, reducing weeks of effort to an instant automated task.
Incorrect specifications, weights, or fire ratings create expensive downstream issues – returns, disputes, and project delays. Manual data entry and inconsistent checks make these problems hard to spot early.
Pimberly enforces data quality at every stage with validation rules and completeness scoring. Automated checks flag issues before products go live, protecting margins and customer relationships.
Post-Grenfell standards demand complete transparency around product composition, safety, and sustainability. Manual tracking makes compliance hard to prove and easy to breach.
Pimberly captures and governs all regulatory data centrally, ensuring every published product meets the latest standards.
Distributors, merchants, and retailers constantly request product specs, assets, and documents. Handling these manually slows teams, causes version issues, and leads to inconsistent data downstream.
Pimberly’s Customer Portal lets partners pull accurate, approved product information on demand – reducing admin and ensuring the whole supply chain works from a single trusted source.
Pimberly + Data Yard
Every merchant asks for your product data in a different shape. Data Yard gives the sector one template: you publish once, and every merchant and buying group you authorise draws the same record. Pimberly is where that record is collected, completed and kept current, from your own systems and your own suppliers.
Data Yard works the same way with any PIM or ERP. This shows the Pimberly route.

Merchants work from the same record
Structure-checked, consistently formatted and attributable to you as the publisher, which supports traceability under the Building Safety Act.
Construction merchants are one destination among many. The same governed record feeds your website, distributors, marketplaces, specification platforms and international markets, so adding a channel does not mean rebuilding the data.
Pimberly maps each product record to the publishing format and measures completeness first, so you know your Data Levels position in advance and exactly what is missing from each product that falls short.
Component and raw material suppliers submit structured, validated data against the fields you require. Test evidence, declarations and substance data sit against the finished products they support, so a merchant's question is answered from the record.
Pimberly is an active member of the BMF Product Data Standardisation Committee, helping shape the product data standards used across the sector.
