Question 1

What is product information management?

Accepted Answer

Product information management is the practice of holding one governed set of product facts so every sales channel is served from the same record, with a clear owner and history for each value.

Question 2

What is a PIM system?

Accepted Answer

A PIM system is the software that stores that governed record: attribute structure, media, documents, approval workflow and the feeds that send values out to channels.

Question 3

Is SalesChef a PIM?

Accepted Answer

No. SalesChef fills the gaps in product information with sources attached, then builds the pages, listings and sales materials from those facts. It works alongside a PIM, or without one.

Question 4

Do I need a PIM before using SalesChef?

Accepted Answer

No. SalesChef works from the files you already have, including spreadsheets and supplier documents, and can write completed records back into a PIM later.
