Essential not only for keeping your business organized, PIM systems can now be integrated into online stores, allowing you to spot buying trends, automate purchasing and delivery, and improve distribution efficiency.

Data.

Business leaders, marketers, and salespeople love it, and we all create it. 

This is why good product information management, also known as PIM, is vital for any business - especially those online.

There’s so much data floating around online that Forbes estimated there were 44 Zettabytes (ZB) of digital information collected in 2020 - that’s 44 trillion Gigabytes (GB).

Within this vast sea of data lies your holy grail of product information. 

While a tiny fraction of the world’s data, a single business’ product information can be a lot to handle: hundreds of products (or more), each with its own long set of data tags on color, dimensions, product type, etc.

Essential not only for keeping your business organized, PIM systems can now be integrated into online stores, allowing you to spot buying trends, automate purchasing and delivery, and improve distribution efficiency.

When combined with AI, Product Information Management tools transform into a whole new level of usefulness.

Why is Product Information Management Important, and How Can AI Help?

Good product information management is no longer simply a “nice-to-have” that makes running your business a little easier—it’s a crucial crutch that can make or break your business’s success when selling online.

This is because accurate, easily accessible, and integrated information is vital when selling products online—not just for customers but also for search engines.

Many different aspects of your business can see a massive boost through AI-driven Product Information Management Systems:

Boosting SEO and Discoverability

Before customers can buy from you, they need to find you. Online, the number one way to get discovered is to have excellent SEO, which ensures you rank at the top of relevant search results.

Good PIM is critical for ensuring Google (and other search engines) sees your website as a reputable and relevant result. 

Integrating AI into your product management systems helps automate this, while ensuring your data is optimized for search engine readability.

Improving the Customer Experience

Within your own website, you’ll likely have your own search abilities and product categories. 

AI-driven PIM ensures your product information is always accurate, organized, and up-to-date, helping customers find the product they’re looking for faster.

Getting to Market Faster and Better

Whether launching a whole new range of products or refreshing a catalog, efficient PIM integrated with AI makes adding and updating product information much easier, allowing you to bring products to market as quickly as you need.

These are just a few of the top benefits of AI-driven PIM systems

They can also help keep businesses compliant with regulations and ensure product information remains consistent across multiple sales channels.

Key Features of Trustana's PIM and DAM Solutions

Our AI-powered Product Information Management solutions (PIM) combine with overall Digital Asset Management (DAM) to create a comprehensive service for managing your products online.

For any business seeking exceptional digital organization, PIM and DAM software go hand in hand, with PIM needed to organize and enrich product data and DAM covering relevant digital assets for your products such as images and videos.

With Trustana’s AI product management tools, your digital catalog of products can be more than just well organized.

Where PIM and DAM are Best Applied

Our services focus on saving you time, increasing the effectiveness of your digital storefront, and automating the organization of your product catalog.

Along with standard product information management and digital asset management, our unique AI tools allow us to offer specialized features to help boost your business:

Smart Importer: 

This AI tool is designed to extract and categorize your product information from a range of different sources such as spreadsheets and supplier catalogs, as well as even unstructured data.

Perfect for any business with large catalogs, multiple suppliers, or regular product range updates, this tool is ideal for saving vast amounts of human time, and reducing the stress levels of anyone working on your IT.

Data Enrichment:

Advanced AI algorithms allow you to quickly, accurately, and automatically update your products with additional attributes and information improvements.

Our Data Enrichment tool analyzes your current product information for each product, and then suggests additional data to add to each product’s information set based on other similar products.

This is ideal for anyone in eCommerce, as it ensures all products have consistent information.

For example, if most of your products have information about height, color, and weight, and one product does not have any information on its color, this tool will automatically suggest adding this information.

Product Taxonomy:

If you want users to buy from you, you must make it as easy as possible for them to find the product they want.

But with hundreds of products across multiple different ranges, organizing all of them into logical groups can be highly time-consuming.

That is, unless you have a product taxonomy tool.

This automatically organizes your products into logical groups and a hierarchical structure based on their product information. Through more efficient data handling, you can create an easy-to-navigate catalog of products for your customers to browse, perfect for sales teams in directing customers to the intended product.

These combine with various other AI tools such as AI localization, automated image tagging, the ability to provide custom product suggestions to each new customer, and much more.

Real-World Applications and Success Stories

In 2023, online retailer Primea was new to market, and needed to onboard products as quickly as possible.

The initial options weren’t promising: online freelancers could be risky and deliver varied results, while a local intern wouldn’t have been time or cost-effective.

Then, they discovered Trustana.

Trustana has been a total game-changer for me. With Trustana, I’ve saved months, not days, of work, and can focus on the high value stuff – building my brand, investing in my supplier relationships, and providing top-tier customer service.” - Kash Singh, founder of Primea

Through using Trustana’s AI-backed PIM and DAM solutions, Primea was able to rapidly onboard products and their relevant product information.

Within five days, Trustana’s onboarding solution was set up, and within two weeks, Trustana had converted Primea’s backlog of SKUs full of scarce and incomplete data into the first batch of sales-ready product listings.

Using AI technology, Trustana was able to rapidly and automatically organize messy catalog listings, as well as enrich the data to fill in the gaps and have Primea’s completed product listings ready for market.

Singh estimated that Trustana had saved Primea around 200 human days of work, all completed within a few weeks.
