By Alexandre Beguin

Are you willing to lose sales due to inadequate product data? Is it frustrating to work with inefficient workflows when you know there's a better way to handle your tasks? Then maybe it's time to take action.

A modern PIM system serves as the beating heart of any company that prioritizes e-commerce. After all, your business depends on selling your products.

So why not streamline product data management and make it more cost-effective?

Read on to discover 10 compelling reasons to invest in a modern PIM system.

1. From chaos to control: Simplified product configuration

Take control of your product data with a unified PIM system that seamlessly integrates with all core systems, including schematics, spare parts catalogs, PDM, CAD, and ERP.

With Struct’s flexible REST APIs, integrating with existing systems is quick and easy, ensuring smooth data exchange across platforms. This reduces both implementation time and ongoing maintenance costs, while providing a scalable and future-proof solution.

2. Smarter variant management in PIM means big savings

Say goodbye to costly ERP bottlenecks.

Many businesses rely on complex ERP solutions like Navision, where product variants are managed within a rigid and expensive system.

With a modern PIM system like Struct, you can manage your product variants faster and more efficiently. Plus, you'll see a quick ROI, as licensing and support costs are just a fraction of what you're currently paying.

3. Data in sync, partners in sync: Strengthen relationships with PIM

A modern PIM system makes it easier to collaborate with partners such as resellers, manufacturers, distributors, and channel partners. Acting as a centralized hub, it ensures that all relevant parties have access to up-to-date and consistent product data. This minimizes misunderstandings and saves time—for both you and your resellers, who will find it far more enjoyable to sell your products over the competition.

4. From local to global? New markets are just a few clicks away

Do you have the right tools to scale your e-commerce business effectively?

Once your product data is structured within a PIM system, scaling becomes much more manageable, as product data often forms the foundation of digital operations. Additionally, modern PIM systems deliver outstanding stability and performance—even when handling over 100,000 SKUs.

5. Stay compliant with the European Union’s Digital Product Passport

Are you prepared for the rollout of the Digital Product Passport? The demand for greater transparency in product data is increasing with the introduction of the Digital Product Passport. However, compliance doesn’t have to be a burden. With a PIM system, you can easily manage supplier data, ensure regulatory compliance, and present accurate product information to your customers. Automated validation rules and updates make it simple to meet requirements—without unnecessary time consumption. It’s a win-win.

6. Seamless migration—Switch PIM in just a few months

Forget your concerns about moving product data to a new PIM system. Migration can be completed in just a few months while also improving your setup. We’ve already proven this with NEYE, where a migration project was completed in just four months.

Struct PIM’s cost-effective model has even helped NEYE reduce expenses both in the short and long term, all while improving their product data management.

7. The green perspective: PIM with a sustainable focus

By hosting Struct PIM on Azure, you can also support your company’s sustainability goals. Microsoft is committed to becoming CO₂-neutral and operates its data centers with an increasing share of renewable energy.

Additionally, Azure data centers are designed for energy efficiency and resource optimization, helping to reduce your overall carbon footprint.

8. Leverage AI features for a smarter workflow

Use built-in AI tools to streamline daily product data management tasks. By applying artificial intelligence to processes like translations, workflows, and more, you not only accelerate time-to-market but also ensure top-tier product enrichment quality.

9. From bottlenecks to flow

Struct PIM eliminates bottlenecks and creates a streamlined workflow, making product data management both fast and effortless. With an intuitive interface and a powerful search function, you gain access to smart features like bulk updates, exports, and archiving—ensuring that relevant data is always at your fingertips. Business rules, task management, and automated workflows help optimize and improve processes, allowing your team to work smarter and more efficiently.

10. Gain better insights with Struct’s intuitive user interface

With user-friendly dashboards, your team gets a quick overview of enrichment status, ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks. A complete audit log provides full transparency across departments and acts as a robust safety net in case of both technical and human errors.

The new Struct PIM4 takes the user experience another step further. With right-click commands and shortcut keys, you can work even more efficiently with fewer clicks. Additionally, attribute modeling has been expanded to include customizable column widths, ensuring a sharp and well-organized visual presentation.
