Channel consistency

The Rave PIM enables you to deliver consistent product information across multiple channels and touchpoints, such as websites, mobile apps, social media, marketplaces, and POS systems.

Consistent product information enhances the customer journey and helps build brand loyalty. Regardless of the channel or device your customers use, they will have access to accurate and up-to-date product details, which leads to better purchase decisions.

With time savings, your team can focus on more strategic activities, such as product innovation and customer engagement. Additionally, cost savings will be achieved through improved operational efficiency and reduced marketing rework.

Scalability and flexibility

The Rave PIM is designed to handle large volumes of product data and adapt to your business needs. You can easily accommodate a growing product catalog, changes in product information, and expanding sales channels.

As your business expands and evolves, PIM enables you to scale your operations without worrying about managing product data. You can adapt to new market trends, launch new products, and integrate with various systems and partners.

Centralized and organized product information

PIM allows you to gather and manage all your product data in one central location. Instead of searching through multiple systems or spreadsheets, you have one source of truth for your product information. This centralized approach saves you time and effort, as you can easily access and update product details, such as descriptions, images, prices, and specifications, from a single platform. It ensures consistency and accuracy across all channels.

Uploader

Allows for Google Drive, and Excel files of product information to be uploaded directly to the PIM. Once the data is uploaded and normalized the full power of the platform management is at your fingertips.

Case Studies

Real examples of furniture and jewelry manufacturers and retailers using the PIM Vendor Dashboard.

Furniture

For furniture, we added Ashley Furniture and Coaster Furniture to the PIM Dashboard and hooked up PIM to pull products from their custom systems via an API. Retailers approved by Ashley and Coaster can subscribe to the product catalog feeds and have the products sync over to their website, whether they have a Rave Retailer website, Shopify store, or their own custom website. Any updates made by the manufacturers to the product catalogs will be reflected on the retailer’s website, making it easy to keep their inventory up-to-date.

Jewelery

For jewelry, Gems One is a distributor that had all their product catalog information in a software system for the jewelry industry called Diaspark. We built a connection to Diaspark to pull their product catalog information into PIM. This normalizes the product catalog information in a format that works for eCommerce and then pushes it to any sites needed. We fed the products to the GemsOne.com website built on Rave Retailer, where their retail store customers can buy the products they want to offer in their stores. The same product catalog information is also available for retailers that Gems One sells to, so the products can sync over to their websites as long as they are on a software that has a connection with PIM, such as Rave Retailer and Shopify.

Who should use our PIM System?

Companies of all sizes can benefit from this type of product content management software. However, it does become the essential tool when the company:

  • Manages complex product content and relationships.
  • Has a high number of SKUs in its offering.
  • Sells products through multiple channels.
  • Collects data from multiple suppliers.
  • Needs accurate product information available for multiple teams and/or sharing that product information to
  • mutiple websites or software systems such as retailers.
  • Suffers from too many manual processes.
  • Expands or transitions product offering multiple times a year.

Who benefits from using PIM?

  • Sales teams that need up-to-date, accurate product data and material on the go at all times.
  • Ecommerce managers that need to constantly update content, improve user experience, and increase conversion rates.
  • Marketing teams that need to juggle a lot of content to create and modify campaigns across multiple channels.
  • Customers, who can buy with confidence, knowing that they can rely on the brand’s quality product information.

Who is PIM NOT for?

  • Clients seeking complete autonomy and self-management: Our PIM Dashboard is not designed for clients who prefer to run their technology entirely on their own or who desire a hands-off approach after the software is sold to them. Our platform operates as a product data management solution, providing ongoing support, updates, and maintenance to ensure the best possible user experience. If you’re looking for a completely do-it-yourself solution without any involvement from our team, our PIM Dashboard may not align with your preferences. We prioritize collaboration and support to ensure that our clients get the most out of their product information management system.
  • Individuals or small businesses with a limited product catalog: If you have a small number of products and don’t require complex management or distribution capabilities, our PIM Dashboard may be more robust than you need.
  • Companies with a single sales channel and minimal product data requirements: If you operate exclusively through a single channel and have minimal data enrichment or customization needs, a simpler solution may be more suitable for your business.
  • Organizations that do not rely heavily on digital sales channels: If your business primarily operates offline or relies on traditional brick-and-mortar retail, the features and capabilities of our PIM Dashboard may not align with your specific needs.
  • Companies that do not require centralized data management: If you have a small team or limited product data requirements that can be easily managed through existing tools or manual processes, the centralized data management features of our PIM Dashboard may be convenient to have but may not be essential for your operations.

Benefits of our PIM platform

  • Centralized data: A PIM system provides a single source of truth for all product-related data, reducing errors and redundancies.
  • Improved content: Our PIM platform helps companies create rich, consistent content that is optimized for all sales channels, leading to better customer engagement and increased sales.
  • Automated data entry: Our PIM system eliminates the need for manual data entry and updating, saving valuable time and resources.
  • Faster time-to-market: With our PIM dashboard, companies can get their products to market faster than their competitors.
  • Efficient supplier data management: Our platform can quickly import and sort supplier data, reducing overhead and wasted resources.
  • Improved customer satisfaction: By providing accurate and accessible product information, our PIM dashboard can help increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
  • Elimination of data silos: Our PIM system eliminates bottlenecks and data silos, making it easy to share product information across multiple sources.

Overall, our PIM dashboard is an essential tool for companies looking to take control of their product management process, increase efficiency, and drive sales growth.

How our PIM System solves common problems

You may be wondering how our solution can solve the common problems faced by retailers, manufacturers, and distributors.

Challenges for Retailers

Retailers started a retail store to sell products to customers, not to manage technical things. They often sell products from multiple manufacturers, which means they need to gather SKUs, product titles, descriptions, pricing, photos, product specs, etc. from each of the manufacturers they deal with. The information is sent to them in different formats, which makes it difficult to manage.

Solution for Retailers

Our Vendor Dashboard was created to help retailers and manufacturers streamline managing and sharing product catalog information. By having the product catalog for a manufacturer in our system, all information can be managed in one place. If a manufacturer updates a product, it will be updated not only on their website but also on any other website that our system feeds products to. Retailers can sync their products through the Vendor dashboard, and any changes made by the manufacturer will sync daily to the retailer’s website.

Flow with Multiple Retailers

Our system allows product catalog information to be pushed out to multiple retail websites. This means that any update made to the product catalog information will automatically be updated on all the retail websites. Manufacturers can control which products they want to allow for which retailers and control the wholesale pricing for the items they offer to retailers.

Relationships with Manufacturers

If the retailer is having difficulty with getting the product information they need from a manufacturer, we can establish a relationship with the manufacturer to make it easier for them to distribute their product catalog information to retailers. We can help solve the manufacturer’s problem completely, which not only improves their business but also gets us more customers.

Challenges for Manufacturers and Distributors

Manufacturers and distributors started making and selling products to sell more products to retailers. They want to get as much product sold as they can to as many people. However, they also face the challenge of providing product information to retailers in different formats.

Solution for Manufacturers and Distributors

Our Vendor Dashboard helps manufacturers, retailers, and distributors streamline managing and sharing product catalog information. When we have the product catalog for a manufacturer in our system, all information is managed in one place. Manufacturers can control which products they want to allow for which retailers and control the wholesale pricing for the items they offer to retailers. If there is a typo on a product, the manufacturer can update it, and it will be updated not only on their website but also on any other website that our system feeds products to.

Benefits for Manufacturers and Distributors

Our system makes it easier for manufacturers and distributors to distribute product information to retailers. The easier the process can be for them to get the product information out to their retailers in a way that those retailers can use to generate sales, the better. By using our system, they can sell more products and increase their revenue.
In conclusion, our PIM system solves the common problems faced by retailers, manufacturers, and distributors. By managing and sharing product catalog information in one place, we make it easier for them to sell more products and increase their revenue. Our system helps retailers, manufacturers, and distributors streamline their business processes and focus on their main objective, which is to sell more products.
