E-commerce is the major commercial activity in the digital age. If you want to make a great fortune in the EC business, having an optimized information management model is essential. In this article, we will explain to you how to manage your product information effectively and reduce the lead time of distribution by the facilitation of DAM and PIM. Especially if you are in a marketing team, check this out and there is a lot to gain from it.

1. Typical Challenges in the EC Business

Complicated Multichannel Information Distribution

It is not a special case that a seller manages several EC platforms like Amazon or Shopee at the same time, which is the most profitable business strategy. However, the same product may have different image and information requirements for each platform, the increasing amount and complexity of information management has become a major challenge. Failing to respond to the requirements on time may lose sales opportunities and cannot enjoy any benefits from multichannel strategies.

Lengthy Lead Time

Distribution lead time is also a thing to concern. Before releasing the product, you have to get the necessary information from different departments: design team for the promotional video and images; logistics team for the shipping information… collecting ununified product information from each department and system is always the main reason for the lengthy lead time. And you can imagine, the longer the lead time, the slower the distribution, and the lower the productivity.

2. PIM and DAM: Optimization of Information Management

To solve the above problems, we advise you to try DAM and PIM.

DAM:
Marketing and advertising departments manage a vast volume of data, including advertisements and product images. DAM helps you to manage the digital assets, to find out the assets you need precisely, and to reuse the data easily. Moreover, DAM also contributes to maintaining brand consistency and ensuring compliance with brand guidelines.

PIM:
PIM is a solution designed to centralize product information and streamline distribution across multiple channels. It integrates all the information which ensures the integrity of data exported to each platform, even if there are different formats and items. PIM also allows users to customize the data output format based on the style and the requirement of the platform.

Merits of Integrating DAM and PIM

In the context of EC business, there are several benefits of introducing both DAM and PIM, and integrate the systems:

Effective Product Information Management: Centralized management ensures the data integrity; data update can be done promptly too.

Simplified Workflow: Data Search and Format Conversion on DAM, and Distribution Service on PIM, all these tasks can be finished on a single platform in one-stop.

Data Reuse and Working Efficiency: It is possible to edit and renew the data on time when there is any latest update as searching data on both DAM and PIM is a piece of cake. There is no need to create a whole new file and eventually the working time can be greatly reduced too.

Having a comprehensive data management and workflow system without redundant workload is the first step of your success. Imagine if you can find, manage all the data, and run the project expeditiously, it can really save your time and money, help you to distribute the production on time, where loss control can be done easily too. Besides, data with high integrity can reward customers' credibility, an essential element for having a strong brand image. You can say DAM and PIM are the steadfast foundation for your business.
