PIM system – an important building block for the digitization process in your company
Efficient product data management and data maintenance are an elementary prerequisite of successful multichannel marketing. A product information management system (PIM system) that is sensibly integrated into your IT architecture guarantees smooth processes for ensuring consistent data quality. We offer a convenient and efficient solution for your product data – from your ERP system through to the output to the sales channels.
First and foremost, the PIM system must fit your company and your business goals. Retail companies with a large product range are dependent on a correspondingly extensive and central software solution.
However, in order to be able to use a PIM system also as a central system, according to the principle of the single source of truth, the data quality must be kept correspondingly high. This high data quality is achieved through experienced project management and sensible processes. During implementation, we work with you to streamline your processes and then prepare you with extensive training for working with the central system LAGO.
With LAGO you centralize your product information including all article and price data as well as images, texts, videos and other data in one software system. Your existing systems can be connected, creating a sustainable process that avoids any inconsistencies. Once stored in the PIM system, all product data is available to you media-neutrally for all marketing channels. The individual combination of our LAGO modules and apps and the possible automations in LAGO bring you measurable success and a fast return on investment.

Frequently asked questions about PIM system
The acronym PIM stands for Product Information Management. The goal of a PIM system is the central media-neutral storage and enrichment, as well as management and distribution of product information to various output channels.
PIM data is information about a product. This product information includes prices, article numbers and multilingual product texts, but also product photos or assets and information for logistics.
A PIM system helps to avoid incorrect product awards, shortens the time-to-market and automates the output to the sales and advertising channels.
Product experience management (PXM) is a product-focused variant of customer experience that has become a popular marketing term in retail. But how does a retailer make its products tangible for customers in advertising?
In today’s retail and advertising landscape, there is an increasing variety of touchpoints for advertising activities that are no longer even limited by space and time. With this increasing availability of customer attention, the quality and relevance of advertising is also becoming more critical to the success of product sales. Customers have always preferred to buy products with which they feel connected in some way. Connectedness with a product is the big goal that modern retail marketers are trying to achieve through fine-tuned and, above all, relevant advertising.

AI and Retail Marketing: Using data and AI to grow business exponentially
Without a doubt, Artificial Intelligence is the number one story of 2023, with breaking news and hyperbolic predictions popping up daily. Retailers and their partners are justifiably concerned. Retail marketing and advertising directors are asking what AI will mean for their current operations and the future of retail marketing in general.
The Planning Paradox
Large, national retailers – and even smaller, regional ones – often must cope with several logistical and market challenges. One of these is the rapid proliferation of media channels. In each one, they must establish a good relationship with current and potential customers, preserving the retailer’s brand without sacrificing accuracy or time-to-market with each campaign.
