Streamline operations with an integration between SAP and PIM
SAP prides itself on being a leader in a wide range of categories, but managing product data (images, videos, long texts, certifications, etc.) is NOT one of them. And here the value of an integration between SAP SAP ERP with a PIM system becomes clear. An integration will result in a wide range of benefits:
- PIM/SAP integration allows you to manage all product information in one place (i.e. descriptions, images, video material, technical specifications, etc.), and with data from any PIM system.
- A PIM/SAP integration opens up the possibility of quickly and dynamically creating brochures, data sheets and other marketing materials - of course always with up-to-date data
- A PIM/SAP integration also makes it possible to easily keep e-commerce sites, websites, marketplaces and other sales channels supported with product information directly from the PIM system.
Create unique benefits with a PIM SAP integration
An integration between SAP ERP and PIM provides benefits in both systems. In our eyes, it is "best practice" to keep the two systems as close to standard as possible. That is, PIM handles channel data, while SAP handles transactional data. This offers the following benefits:
- SAP is kept simple and streamlined, handling only transactional data. All other data resides in the PIM system
- PIM means fewer customizations of SAP. This will reduce the cost of operating the ERP.
- Upgrades to both SAP and PIM are less costly as the systems are kept as close to standard as possible
- By creating publications directly in your PIM solution, you can take advantage of the fact that data (prices, stock status, item numbers, etc.) is retrieved live from SAP
- Easily and quickly create price lists, catalogues, brochures, product sheets, etc. - even with the guarantee that you have the latest prices, designations, etc.
