You face a challenge
Product data was never meant to lie dormant. What would be the point of investing so much time and effort in collecting it if you could not make it available to your customers and business partners? And preferably syndicate your product data in as many places as possible so you do not miss sales opportunities.
The challenge is that today’s customers interact with your brand across multiple touchpoints, and managing so many channels, systems and platforms simultaneously is a complex task. You need to update data in multiple places using different interfaces and perform repetitive, tedious work. Often, content must also be enriched and localized for languages, units of measure, currencies, and product variants.
As if that were not enough, technology is changing rapidly and new sales channels and platforms can emerge faster than many systems can handle.
There is a solution
The good news is that with Bluestone PIM MACH architecture, you can overcome all of these business challenges.

Finally, your customers will be able to interact with your products through the touchpoints of their choice. This not only saves you operational costs, but also helps you achieve higher conversion rates, happier, more loyal customers, and more revenue.
