Why builders merchants need a PIM system
Builders merchants face unique challenges in managing vast product ranges, from timber to plumbing supplies. A Product Information Management (PIM) system can streamline this process, ensuring accurate and consistent product data across all channels. According to a study by Gartner, businesses that implement PIM systems see a 25% increase in productivity and a 20% reduction in errors.
Here at iWeb, we understand the complexities of managing extensive product catalogues. Our expert developers have seen firsthand how a robust PIM system can transform operations. By centralising product data, builders merchants can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
