Beyond Spreadsheets: Building a Single Source of Truth for Product Data
Technology
Specs scattered across dozens of spreadsheets, product photos lost in email threads, and a different template for every marketplace and retailer. That is how product content works in many brands and distributors until the catalog outgrows manual processes. In this first episode, we look at how to bring order to product information and stop re-entering the same data for every sales channel.
In this episode:
— how PIM differs from ERP, and why spreadsheets break down as the assortment grows;
— information models, attributes, and validation rules that keep product listings complete;
— where a DAM system saves time on photos, videos, and documentation;
— how a single change in PIM updates content across marketplaces, online stores, and partner channels;
— the role of AI in content enrichment, and where human review is still essential;
— how to plan the rollout and when to expect the first results.
