Pimcore Magento Integration

The face of digital commerce platform has changed with expanding offerings, newer customer expectations, pricing model complexities, and omni-channel delivery. Brands need to respond and act faster with trusted and latest product content to thrive and survive in the ever-growing social, mobile, and multichannel market places. But, it demands seamless product information management and distribution capabilities.

Product Data: Pivotal to Digital Commerce Success

 

 

Product data and content are the backbones of digital commerce operations. However, when product data is scattered and not consolidated within a single master data repository, it can hinder both operational excellence and customer excellence.

Without a PIM system, it is difficult to streamline workflow that is key for successful product merchandising in a digital ecosystem. This can create a communication gap among product teams, marketing, and creative teams, and merchandisers, ultimately making the process inefficient and time-consuming.

With increased SKUs, you have to manage more product data and link it to more digital assets. When there are more related products, you have to deal with more suppliers. The problem: companies can be paralyzed by manually streamlining and clearing all the relevant information. If they have to do all work by hand on a per-item basis, then it is prone to create serious glitches in data quality and completeness, operational accessibility, behavior targeting, omni-channel enablement, and distribution. Ultimately, it can abruptly slower time-to-market and mislay the competitive edge. A PIM solution enables businesses to create and manage product content and deliver relevant product data to every channel and every market segment.

Does Magento Provide Robust PIM and WCM Capabilities?

Magento has great capabilities to drive digital commerce business. This platform has been quite popular amongst its users for being the most competing product in the market. Magento has also demonstrated innovation in its technology stack in recent years. With GraphQL and Progressive Web Apps, this platform has been quite pioneering in recent time.

However, many analysts consider Magento's native personalization and PIM functionality weaker than competitors. Magento’s PIM functionality is not robust enough for today’s demanding businesses; thus, companies generally adopt a PIM solution from an external vendor. Hence, it incurs additional license cost on businesses.

Moreover, a robust WCM is pre-requisite for omni-channel content delivery and marketing agility. Magento’s WCM functionality has also been viewed as a weaker link, and it has evident gaps in marketing and customer data management. And, Magento partners with others to fill these gaps.
