  • Tailor Product Experiences for Global Markets

    Pimberly PIM is a strategic tool allowing retailers to manage and customize product information for different regions, ensuring your product experiences are relevant and appealing to local audiences.

    With multi-language support and automated currency and pricing adjustments, creating localized product experiences is straightforward. This way, you can engage customers with experiences that resonate with international customers, driving conversions in new markets worldwide.

  • Unify your brand experience across all channels

    Fragmented shopping experiences are common. Consumers interact through multiple channels, including online marketplaces, social media, eCommerce sites, and brick-and-mortar sites. Inconsistent product information leads to a disjointed brand experience, damaging customer trust.

    Pimberly maintains brand consistency across all customer touchpoints. The PIM platform functions as a centralized hub where all product information is stored, managed, and enriched before being distributed to fit the requirements of each sales channel.

    Pimberly’s ability to harmonize product information means product launches or updates are reflected simultaneously across all sales channels, maintaining a cohesive brand experience. In doing so, you’ll drive customer loyalty and accelerate business growth. As more and more consumers start the buyer journey online, having consistent branding across all touchpoints will make you much more trusted by consumers.

  • Boost operational efficiency

    Managing product information for thousands of SKUs across multiple brands is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Ultimately, inefficiencies within product data management result in increased costs, slower market agility, and diminished customer satisfaction.

    On the other hand, Pimberly is a transformative solution designed with multi-brand retailers in mind. By centralizing and automating product information management, you eliminate redundancies and streamline product data management. With a PIM/DAM like Pimberly, you drastically reduce the need for manual data entry, minimizing the risk of errors.

Automated Product Information Syndication

Pimberly will also tailor content for specific markets or channels without compromising the overall brand message, allowing for local relevance while maintaining global brand integrity.

Enable Efficient Supplier Onboarding with Vendor Portal

Pimberly’s Vendor Portal module is designed with multi-brand retailers at front-of-mind. Above all, it gives you more control of supplier data, allowing you to expand your product with standardized product data quickly.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Vendor Portal functions as a lightweight version of Pimberly, which your suppliers can access via an email link
  2. The email contains a product data template—an Excel file containing a pre-defined set of attributes configured by you (you set the qualities you want, so you only get the data you need!)
  3. The supplier completes the template and uploads it to their lightweight Pimberly instance
  4. Any failed uploads are recognized and sent back to the supplier to change
  5. You don’t have to import all of your suppliers’ products. You can pick and choose the products you want Pimberly to ingest!

With Vendor Portal, you ensure their suppliers’ product data is comprehensive and fit for purpose. Expanding your product range takes hours rather than months.

Customize Product Information for Global Markets

International commerce is tricky. For example, you must adapt product information for different cultural preferences, languages, regulatory requirements, and currencies. And you need a competitive edge. And, your products are likely already sold worldwide, so you must stand out.

Pimberly streamlines the localization processes, ensuring product listings are relevant, compliant, and engaging for worldwide customers. Consequently, Pimberly facilitates and automates the storage and management of product information in multiple languages without extra work.

And, because Pimberly is entirely scalable, we can fully support your growth ambitions by making it easier to manage and expand your international presence.

Explore the Pimberly Product Suite

The Pimberly product suite is growing. With an ambitious product roadmap, we continue to improve product data management, with multi-brand retailers a key focus. For example, here are some of the Pimberly modules our multi-brand customers utilize:

Pimberly AI

Pimberly AI is based on three distinct modules. Discover how the new, innovative function allows multi-brand retailers to drive growth through rapid product range expansion.

Copy AI

Firstly, Copy AI is our AI-generated SEO-optimized product description tool. Create compelling product titles and descriptions to ensure you rank #1 across Google and your favorite eCommerce marketplaces.

Furthermore, Copy AI is especially useful for multi-brand retailers, allowing you to stand out with high-quality, SEO-optimized product details. And, it saves eCommerce and marketing teams significant time by generating eCommerce-ready product descriptions, giving you vital extra selling days.

Product AI

Product AI is a market intelligence tool. By accessing marketplace data, you can populate information gaps your products might have. The premise is simple. By using a product’s code (EAN, UPC, or ASIN), Product AI will extract the data you want from some of the world’s leading marketplaces, increasing your level of product data validation.

With Product AI, you can speed up data enrichment of your products and ensure your products are accurate and enriched.

Image AI

Pimberly’s Image AI uses image recognition to generate a list of attributes for that particular product. Doing so lets you quickly create product attributes from scratch and assign them to your product. Additionally, Image AI can use a wide range of vocabulary to help describe your products and increase your product’s reach from an SEO perspective. Moreover, by removing human bias, you tap into a wider audience and create great customer experiences.

eCatalog

Next, Pimberly’s eCatalog allows Pimberly customers to access their own BigCommerce site, which is completely unrelated to their existing eCommerce website.

It allows for an improved user experience testing environment. Merchants and product merchandisers can use the environment to test and optimize the customer journey. So, if the experiment succeeds, you can make the changes live.

In addition, eCatalog supports an internal view of the product catalog, giving users easy access to the product catalog throughout the business and across departments. Merchants can share these catalogs with their customers, enabling real-time product previewers to facilitate sales. Moreover, Pimberly provides sales/customer support/technical staff with a product knowledge base fed directly from Pimberly, helping you to increase customer service (and sales!).
