A PIM for Distributors That Just Works

Any distributor that is selling online or to retailers can benefit from PIM software, but here are a couple of signs that it’s time to get started with PIM:

• You’re managing over 100 products
• Your team is growing 
• More than 10 people are managing your product information
• You’re selling on more than one channel

Plytix is the only PIM specially made (and priced!) for small to medium-sized B2B businesses.

Managing complex product information from multiple suppliers doesn’t have to be complicated. With Plytix, you can gather all your data—whether it’s coming from ERP systems, or spreadsheets—into one simple, easy-to-use platform.

Having everything in one place will make it easier to organize, and distribute product data, including technical specifications, marketing descriptions, images, and videos.

The best part? It speeds up your time-to-market, so you can focus on what you do best—growing your business.

A PIM software and an ERP system are not the same thing, but they do complement each other!

A PIM, like Plytix, is designed specifically to manage and enrich product data, whereas an ERP system handles broader business processes across various departments. Think of the ERP as the starting point, where products are created and tracked. Once a product is in the ERP, it can get transferred to the PIM, where it’s enriched with all the essential details—such as descriptions, images, specifications, and other assets like videos or manuals. From there, the enriched product data is shared across multiple sales channels, ensuring consistency and accuracy everywhere it appears.

In short, while your ERP system handles the big-picture logistics, your PIM is there to make sure your product content is always detailed, up-to-date, and ready to go wherever it’s needed. 

Here are some examples of how PIMs and ERPs complement each other: 

• Keep your data flowing smoothly: While your ERP handles inventory and pricing, your PIM enriches the data with marketing content and visuals.
• No more double work: You can update core product data in your ERP, then let your PIM automatically sync and enhance it for your sales channels.
• More accuracy, less stress:  With fewer manual updates, there’s less room for human error.
• Launch even faster: As you're using your ERP to manage stock levels and orders, you can use your PIM to get product content ready for sales channels.

Absolutely! Plytix PIM is designed to integrate with various third-party systems, including ERP and CRM solutions, to create better data flow across platforms. This means that all your product information stays consistent and up-to-date across all business systems. 

We sure do! Our open REST API allows you to connect with any system, both to bring data into Plytix and to share it from Plytix to other platforms.

No! Plytix is easy to use and intuitive, so you can dive in and get started right away. Plus we have an amazing customer success team that will make your onboarding as easy as possible.
