Having an efficient Product Information Management solution is like having the magical One Ring from J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings.”
Long hard walk to Mordor
So, your product information is scattered across many places, right? To make things even worse, some of the key information can be found only on the Products Manager computer disk, while some is available in multiple Excel spreadsheets. You know the kind of spreadsheets we’re talking about here. They’re every marketer worst nightmare. With hundreds of rows, usually with a lot of outdated data and some obvious mistakes. The ones you’re not entirely sure you can trust anymore. If this is your business reality, then by now, you probably feel like walking to Mordor every time you have to put together or update some product descriptions.
Rule your product information
And guess what? It doesn’t have to be this way! Imagine you’re the lucky hobbit who happens to find the One Ring forged in the fires of Mount Doom. In our case the ring is, of course, a smart Product Information Management (PIM) solution. So, the first thing its magical powers allow you to do is to take all that scattered product information and bring it together in one place.
Now, just like the famous inscription on the ring says, you can quickly find the product information you need, easily bring it all together and, finally, rule it across many channels, languages and markets.

This type of power is crucial when the number of your company’s products displayed in various sales channels is rapidly growing. It’s fair to say that once a business reaches 500+ SKUs, relying on spreadsheets to manage product information is not the best idea anymore. Simply, the capacity of a spreadsheet is swiftly depleted with such a huge amount of product data.
