What is Perfion, and When Should You Choose This PIM System?
Perfion is a PIM system built on Microsoft technology, offering strong integration capabilities with Microsoft’s ERP platforms (such as 365 Finance and Operations and 365 Business Central).
If you have complex products or a complex IT landscape, Perfion is a strong choice. Its extensive integration and configuration options enable you to address most challenges that such complexity may present.
With a standard PIM solution from Perfion you can:
- Centralize both PIM and DAM data in one solution
- Import (or live-integrate) data from other systems
- Maintain data efficiently through inheritance and bulk updating
- Set up processes and workflows for data maintenance
- Print catalogues, price lists and product sheets
- Publish data in different channels (Web, E-Com, Amazon, etc.)
If you already have strong ties to Microsoft systems and the .NET platform, Perfion is a natural choice for your organization.
Centralize the Management of Your Product Data in Perfion and Streamline Your ERP Solution
Many companies that invest in a PIM system often come from a reality where they previously managed their product data directly within their ERP system.
While most ERP systems can be forced to host product data, doing so typically requires investments that are disproportionate to the features and capabilities you end up with.
With Perfion, you gain access to a PIM system that comes standard with a range of features designed to support the processes related to data onboarding, enrichment, categorization, and presentation—exactly what your business needs.
By moving product data from your ERP to a dedicated PIM system, you reduce complexity when upgrading or replacing your ERP, while also gaining a set of built-in tools to help you refine and manage your product data more effectively.
Stay on Top of Your Enrichment Process with Dashboards
A typical PIM project will always include an analysis of the processes that form the foundation of your data and product data management.
Based on the results of this analysis, we work together to implement the technical measures needed to ensure that the onboarding, enrichment, and presentation of data are supported as efficiently as possible.
In a busy workday with many shifting priorities, it can be easy to lose sight of the overall process. With Perfion's Dashboards, you gain the ability to summarize and visualize the most critical aspects of your enrichment process—enabling you to quickly identify and respond to errors, gaps, and breakdowns in your workflow.
From Data to Design – Perfion’s Report Tool Lets You Create Print Materials Directly in the PIM System
Perfion’s Report Tool streamlines the task of creating catalogs, price lists, and product sheets—without the need to invest in third-party software or licenses.
With the Report Tool, you gain access to a simple and cost-effective toolbox for producing printed materials.
The tool helps you convert your product data into easily accessible designs, saving time and ensuring consistency in your communication.
What are the benefits of Perfion PIM?
Perfion PIM offers the following benefits:
- All product and channel data is centralized, so that it can be easily maintained in one place
- Since Perfion is both PIM and DAM in one and the same solution, all kinds of data can be managed (both product, channel and image data)
- With Perfion's dynamic data views, complex products, with many different data, can be represented clearly and logically.
- Dynamic support for multiple language layers
- Print: Catalogs, Price Lists, and Product Sheets (without using other programs such as inDesign)
- Via Perfion's report designer, all types of prints can be auto-generated, which is often used to generate: Catalogues, Price Lists, Barcodes, QR Labels, Spare Parts Lists, etc.
Perhaps one of Perfion PIM's biggest advantages is the ability to get suppliers to maintain their own products in the solution. With Perfion's supplier module, subcontractors enrich their own products, so this work is outsourced from your company.
