Pimberly

Feeds allow external systems to push product data into the PIM. This integration is enabled via the API or by monitoring external locations. Including (S)FTP sites, URL's and Amazon S3 buckets. Importing the relevant file containing up-to-date product information.

To help improve product time to market, our intuitive data mapping allows users to quickly import a variety of data structures, without needing to adapt and manipulate spreadsheets or raw files. Simple drag and drop functionality enables users to map different data attributes into Pimberly.

Additionally, feeds can be configured to run on a predetermined schedule (i.e. monthly, weekly, daily or every x minutes). Automation ensures you are consistently using the latest version of product information, reducing the risk of error and time spent manipulating data.

Channels will automate the publication of product data to multiple platforms, including eCommerce websites, marketplaces and resellers. Any updates made to a product in Pimberly can be published immediately or on a predetermined schedule. This enables you to easily reach new markets and respond faster to change.

Each channel can be configured for a specific language or tone of voice. Pimberly uses scoping and localisation to store multiple versions of a product record.

Workflow rules are used to enhance and automate manual operations wherever possible. Typically, this can include data transformation, communication amongst user groups and automate product publishing.

The workflow feature allows you to perform any logic-based decisioning against your data. This translates to ensuring you have the relevant users working on products at the right time. The individual workflows can trigger email alerts, notifications and approval requests. This helps to give clarity of the work ahead as notifications can effectively generate a task list for users to complete.

Lifecycles ensure that all aspects of product information meet defined criteria for completeness, validation and accuracy. This means that only optimised content can be released to specific channels, avoiding the possibility of missing or incomplete data being published. These rules provide data governance, only allowing a product to move to the next stage when the conditions are met.

The dashboard in Pimberly will track the volume of product in each stage and highlight where to prioritise efforts, in order to get product enriched and live for sale.

Pimberly have developed a "connector" which bridges the gap between Pimberly and your eCommerce system, BigCommerce. The connector is available as a standard feature of the Pimberly architecture, therefore making the integration between both platforms simple and easy to achieve.

Feeding any updates to your product data within Pimberly, the BigCommerce Connector has the ability to create and update your full product catalogue within BigCommerce in near real time. This includes the management of Categorisation, Variant Options, Imagery & Custom Fields – on top of the standard BigCommerce product data fields.

If you have multiple BigCommerce stores to accommodate different localisations or brands, Pimberly allows you to have one central hub for managing of all of your product data. You can utilise BigCommerce Connector(s) to integrate your single source of truth (Pimberly) to each of your disparate BigCommerce stores, avoiding duplication of effort for your team.
