Unlock eCommerce Success with PIM and DAM

Unlock eCommerce Success with PIM and DAM

Foster efficiency behind the scenes while delivering a top-tier experience to your customers.

For eCommerce businesses, juggling product data and digital assets across multiple channels can feel like an endless challenge. But there’s a solution that simplifies the process and maximizes efficiency—integrating Product Information Management (PIM) and Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems.

Integrating PIM and DAM is a game-changer for eCommerce.

Why PIM and DAM integration is key

At first glance, PIM and DAM may seem like separate solutions addressing different needs. PIM focuses on managing product data, while DAM organizes and controls rich media assets like images and videos.

But together, PIM and DAM create a single source of truth and a fully synchronized ecosystem. Their integration drives success by doing two crucial things:

• Improve team workflows
• Deliver an outstanding customer experience

Here's how internal team productivity and buyer satisfaction come together:

1. Both your teams and your customers need consistent product info and visuals

Imagine the frustration of a customer finding two conflicting prices or an outdated photo of a product on your website. Not only does this damage trust, but it could also lead potential buyers straight to your competitors.

With an integrated PIM and DAM solution, your team operates from a central hub, ensuring all product information and visuals are accurate and updated across every channel.

Internal team benefits:

• All team members access real-time, accurate data, reducing manual updates and errors.
• Unified workflows speed up the time to market.

Customer benefits:

• Shoppers enjoy cohesive and up-to-date product details, improving trust and conversion rates.
• Reliable consistency across all touchpoints keeps customers engaged.

Turning eCommerce complexity into cohesion

Switzerland’s #1 retailer Migros implemented this integration and streamlined their operations significantly. By centralizing workflows with PIM-DAM systems, they cut hosting costs by 70% and reduced agency outsourcing expenses by 15%. These efficiencies allowed them to reinvest in customer-centric improvements, such as broader product ranges and enhanced personalization, while producing over 1 million PDFs annually across 10 regions without delays.

A Dutch retailer with over 250 stores developed a powerful competitive advantage by integrating a new PIM and DAM system. This enabled nearly 400 service, office, and store users to produce weekly customer communications and shelf content. That is a huge number of users who are efficiently managing around 500,000 digital assets and producing up to 3,000 shelf cards weekly.

Integrated systems can handle digital assets and a high volume of users–at a remarkable scale, with consistency and accuracy across all channels.

2. Better internal organization improves product discovery

Proper organization isn’t just about tidying up; it’s about improving usability for both your team and your customers.

By integrating PIM and DAM, businesses can tag products and assets more effectively, enabling well-organized databases. This means your content team can locate necessary assets in seconds, while your customers enjoy a frictionless shopping experience through features like searchable product categories and related recommendations.

Quick win:

When VBS Hobby, a craft materials retailer, adopted integrated PIM-DAM technology, they slashed the time required to update 20,000+ products across marketplaces like Amazon and Otto. What used to take 24 hours was reduced to 3–4 minutes.

3. Enhanced personalization benefits all

Personalization is now a must-have in eCommerce. Since PIM-DAM integration automates analytics collection, your team can gather insights to enable data-driven decisions. On the other end of these decisions are tailored recommendations and customized campaigns for different customer segments.

Internal team benefits:

• Your teams access actionable customer insights to refine campaigns and improve performance.
• Manual workflows are replaced with automation, saving precious time.

Customer benefits:

• Recommendations and promotions are targeted to their needs.
• Seamless omnichannel experiences allow for clear storytelling across touchpoints.

Boost personalization and reduce time to market

A large American department store used a PIM-DAM integration to create 100s of personalized variations of one email. This ensured that customers receive offers tailored to their interests and demographics. Further, the retailer connected its PIM-DAM with its external email provider to automate and personalize daily emails for 30 million inboxes. This automation reduced production time by more than 50%.

4. PIM + DAM expand your reach, everywhere

Scalability and omnichannel success are crucial in eCommerce now.

Expanding into new sales channels is critical for growth. With PIM and DAM working together, managing omnichannel strategies becomes a breeze. Sync product and asset data seamlessly across your website, social media, mobile apps, and marketplaces—all with minimal manual effort.

This scalability ensures that as your business grows, you won’t compromise efficiency or accuracy.

It may go without saying, but omnichannel success also earns you happier customers who trust your brand.
