In addition to our PIM solution for managing commercial product information, ConnectingTheDots also has a solution for managing Product Master Data Management.
But what is Master Data Management or MDM? Master Data Management is used to manage the business-critical part of your product information. This includes article numbers of products, price information, product lifecycle management or the inventory information of a product. In combination with commercial product information such as USPs, images and product descriptions, this creates the complete picture of a product.
Because the Product Master Data Management solution within ConnectingTheDots PIM is designed to manage both commercial product information and critical product information, we are able to tackle more challenging product management issues. In popular terms, product master data forms the core of the product information. By not only managing the Product Master Data as is, but also offering the possibility to apply logic to Product Master Data information, countless possibilities arise to provide a solution to more complex Product Master Data Management issues.
Below are some of the Product Master Data Management capabilities offered by ConnectingTheDots PIM:
Based on price rules, prices can be calculated. Think of customer-specific prices, (advisory) prices for a specific market or promotions / scales.
Manage the change management process of products via product life cycle management. Based on a structured process and driven by logic in PIM, updates from external systems or manual intervention, each product goes through its life cycle.
Each product is classified based on article number, for example EAN, GTIN, OEM. Based on a unique product ID, multiple suppliers or sources such as a content broker, can be brought together and recorded on one and the same product in PIM.
Certain product categories can’t do without data that maps them to another product. For example, a cylinder head that only fits a certain type of engine, or a smartphone case that only fits an iPhone X. Reference data provides managed products with this necessary addition.
