When it comes to managing product data more effectively, improving its quality and deploying it quickly across sales channels, we often find ourselves thinking:
- ‘I don’t have that many products, and my current processes work, more or less…’I’ve come across a few solutions that could help, but they’re unaffordable and too advanced for my needs… I don’t fully understand the benefits they could bring, and I’ve got far more pressing projects that will boost my turnover…
What if we could simply set up a Product Information Management (PIM)… for free?! Or even a DAM ?
At Quable, we’ve taken this approach to enable you to tackle the challenges of product data in the best possible conditions and finally form your own opinion on the matter. Like you, we’re convinced that the ‘pay-to-try’ model is a thing of the past. Let’s shed some light on the benefits of such an offer for your business.
Say goodbye to Excel – get to grips with a solution truly dedicated to your product data
We love Excel too. Endless possibilities, a solution for every problem – that’s true. But is it really a tool designed to manage your product data?
Nested folders, hair-pulling formulas in a language that marketing and product teams don’t always master, data entry errors, conflicting file versions… Our users aren’t exactly nostalgic when they think back on these tedious processes.
Getting started with a PIM via a free starter plan will allow you to continue with your current working methods whilst testing the PIM’s ability to perform the same tasks. The PIM’s key strength is its ability to centralise. You’ll appreciate having a single, dedicated space for working with product data and no longer having to rely on scattered files, emails, FTP servers, or multiple imports and exports.
As for the risk of errors? You can forget about that – everything is logged and catalogued in one place. View versions and changes and, above all, finally work collaboratively on a single tool, updated in real time.
Coordinate product data management and enable business teams to collaborate
Set up a workflow that is close to automation whilst retaining enough flexibility to tailor the PIM perfectly to your organisation. Put the systems in place to streamline the work of those handling product information, from creating the product reference right through to its launch across the various sales channels.
The free starter package is a good way to assess whether you gain in efficiency and speed over this period. Quantify this time; it is one of the key ROI metrics you can compare with your current set-up. So, who has the best time-to-market?
Improved collaboration between teams is one of the benefits regularly cited by PIM users. Alert systems enable real-time information to be pushed, triggering and closing out new actions to be taken. The organisation runs like clockwork!
A free PIM to scale your business sustainably and at full speed
With a well-structured, reliable and tried-and-tested system, you can look to the future with greater peace of mind. When you set up your PIM for free, you can assess the time saved by your business teams on a daily basis. In your current processes, there’s a strong chance that this time is being spent on tedious tasks that add little value to your sales. Because at the end of the day, that’s what really matters: the business.
Now, thanks to the PIM, teams can redirect this saved time to boost sales:
- Opening up new sales channels (marketplaces, e-commerce sites, etc.).
- Enter new markets using connectors that allow you to translate all your product listings into the language of your choice.
- Launch new products and, above all, get them on sale more quickly.
Also, take this opportunity to consider the potential for improving the quality of your product database. You’ll be able to easily add new elements to your product listings – data that your customers value, but which you previously didn’t have the time or opportunity to include. Let’s not forget that consumers are constantly changing their habits, and your challenge is to respond quickly to market trends.
Finally, we have a challenge for you!
The lifeblood of business is measurement and ROI. To help you, here is a roadmap to guide you in asking the right questions when using Quable PIM for free.
Compared to your usual way of working:
- Productivity: how much time per task does each team save each day?
- Time to market: how long does it take from the creation of a product reference to it going on sale?
- Roadmap: how many channels do you plan to launch over the course of a year?
