PIM & PRODUCT DATA SERVICES IN WESTON-SUPER-MARE, SOMERSET

Affordable product information management for small businesses - from £499

If you sell products across a website, a print catalogue, and marketplaces like Amazon or eBay, keeping product data consistent across all of them quickly becomes a full-time job. A Product Information Management (PIM) system solves this by giving you one central, structured record for every product - description, images, pricing, specifications - that you can then push out to your website, your printed catalogue, and any marketplace you sell on.

Most PIM platforms (Pimcore, inriver, Akeneo Enterprise and similar) are built for large retailers and priced accordingly, often running into thousands of pounds a year before you’ve entered a single product. We install and configure OpenPIM - a genuinely capable, open-source PIM platform - for a fraction of that cost, so small and medium businesses can get the same benefits without the enterprise price tag.

Let’s Talk

PIM SERVICES

OPENPIM INSTALLATION & SETUP

From £499, we install and configure OpenPIM ready for you to start adding products - categories, attributes and data structure set up to match how you sell, whether that’s through your website, a printed catalogue, or both. We can host it for you on a VPS or similar server, or install it on your own existing server if you’d rather keep it in-house.

PRODUCT DATA BUILDING & CLEANING

Already have product data scattered across spreadsheets, old systems or supplier feeds? We’ll clean it up, standardise it and load it into your PIM, ready to feed your website and catalogues without hours of manual re-entry.

CATALOGUE & WEBSITE DATA FEEDS

Once your product data lives in one place, we can connect it to your data-merged print catalogues and your WordPress website, so updates only need to happen once and flow through everywhere automatically.

PRODUCT IMAGE SOURCING & OPTIMISATION

We source product images from your suppliers or manufacturers, then optimise them for every use - compressed and correctly sized for fast-loading web pages, and full high-resolution versions ready for print.

DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT (DAM)

We gather your product datasheets, brochures and supporting documents and organise them centrally, connecting your existing Google Drive to your PIM so every image, document and file sits alongside its product data in one place.

ONGOING PRODUCT DATA MONITORING

Manufacturer specs, pricing and images change without notice. We regularly review your product data against the original manufacturer or supplier source pages and update your PIM accordingly, so your website and catalogues never fall out of date.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is PIM and do I actually need it?

PIM (Product Information Management) is a central system for storing and managing your product data - descriptions, images, pricing, specifications - so you’re not maintaining the same information separately in your website, spreadsheets and catalogue files. If you sell more than a handful of products across more than one channel, it saves significant time and reduces errors from data getting out of sync.

Why OpenPIM instead of Pimcore or Akeneo?

OpenPIM is a genuinely capable open-source PIM platform, but without the enterprise licensing costs of tools like Pimcore or Akeneo Enterprise, which are built and priced for large retailers. It gives small and medium businesses the same core benefits - structured data, multi-channel syndication - at a fraction of the cost.

How much does it cost to get started?

Installation and setup starts from £499, which gets you a working OpenPIM installation configured for your products, ready to start adding data. Ongoing data building and cleaning is quoted separately depending on how much product data you have and its current state.

Can PIM data feed both my website and printed catalogue?

Yes - that’s one of the main benefits. Once your product data is structured in OpenPIM, we can connect it to your data-merged print catalogues and your WordPress website, so you update information once and it flows through to both.

How long does installation and setup take?

It depends on the complexity of your product range, but a straightforward installation and configuration is typically completed within 2 weeks.

Do you help import my existing product data?

Yes. If you already have product data in spreadsheets or another system, we can clean it up, standardise it and import it into your new PIM as part of the setup, or as a follow-on project.

Can you source and organise our product images and documents too?

Yes - we can source product images from your suppliers, optimise them for web and print, and gather any datasheets or brochures you have, organising everything centrally so it’s easy to find and use.

What’s a DAM and why connect it to Google Drive?

A Digital Asset Management (DAM) system is where you store and organise images, datasheets and other product files. Connecting your existing Google Drive to your PIM means your assets stay linked to the right product record without duplicating files or folders.
