The Numendo and Quable combo to boost your e-commerce
28 June 2023
For several years now, Quable has been proud to count Numendo amongst its certified integration partners. As such, the teams at Numendo are fully equipped to support new Quable PIM customers throughout the implementation and customisation stages of the PIM solution.
The challenges of e-commerce are constantly evolving, and keeping up to date is only possible if businesses receive the right support. As a result, managing product catalogues is a constant challenge for brands: they must handle large volumes of data, ensure high-quality and reliable product data is available anywhere and at any time, manage multiple sales channels, and translate information for an international audience, amongst other things.
To rise to these challenges (with flying colours!), 20 leading brands have already turned to the duo Numendo and Quable, and have been fully satisfied with our services, including Lalique, Gong Galaxy, Vallorbe and many others!
Who are Quable and Numendo?
Quable is a PIM (Product Information Manager) solution that enables you to collect, centralise, manage and enrich all data relating to a brand’s products (descriptions, composition, materials, etc.). The Quable PIM can also be enhanced with a DAM (Digital Asset Manager), which in turn enables brands to manage and distribute product-related media (photos, pack shots, visuals, etc.) consistently across all their sales channels. Quable’s PIM & DAM solution is therefore designed for all forward-thinking brands and manufacturers seeking growth, who wish to significantly accelerate their sales across all their sales channels (e-commerce sites, retailers, marketplaces, etc.). As a SaaS solution, the PIM enables flexible, collaborative working for all teams involved in product creation and distribution: whether they are e-commerce, marketing, product or R&D teams.
Our partner, Numendo, is a certified integration partner specialising in web and IT consultancy. As an integrator, its role is to support companies in implementing Quable’s PIM & DAM solution. With experience gained from around twenty similar projects, Numendo is able to support brands with confidence and provide guidance throughout every stage of the solution’s implementation, right up to the point where the brand can operate the system completely independently. In short, an integration partner such as Numendo will give you the freedom to: choose the PIM solution best suited to your needs and objectives; install and configure your PIM / DAM, connect your PIM to your ERP and your entire IT system, train your teams in the use of the PIM, and manage the evolution of your PIM.
When it comes to e-commerce, the Quable and Numendo partnership has much to be proud of in terms of the numerous benefits their teams offer. Thanks to its dashboards, workflows and analytics, the rich functionality of the Quable PIM enables the effective management and distribution of product information across all of a brand’s sales channels.
As a result, data is systematically updated simultaneously, drastically reducing companies’ time to market. Its easy integration with other solutions and systems, such as e-commerce platforms (Shopify, PrestaShop, WooCommerce) or automation solutions (Make), makes it a powerful ally for e-retailers. Combined with Numendo and its wide range of expertise – including e-commerce site management, product data provision and mobile apps – the complementary nature of our two solutions ensures maximum utilisation of the PIM, enabling you to reap the full benefits of your e-commerce business.
What are the challenges of product information management?
Product information is king. Your future customers expect the most comprehensive and reliable product information possible, and they expect this data to be consistent across all your sales channels, both in physical shops and online.
Brands therefore face several challenges regarding their product information:
- Collecting product data, which may come from different departments (marketing, sales, product, R&D, etc.) and various sources (Excel files, emails),
- The volume of product-related information, which can be extensive and vary in nature,
- The quality of this product information: errors, duplicates, incorrect details,
- Updating this product information, which can prove tricky and time-consuming to maintain across all sales channels,
- Managing product variations: products may vary in terms of size or colour, for example,
- Ensuring consistency of information across all distribution channels, which can sometimes be challenging depending on the specific requirements of each channel,
- Collaboration between teams, which is essential throughout the entire process from product creation right through to distribution.
These challenges are often the bane of e-retailers’ existence as they can lead to delays in bringing products to market, errors, a substandard customer and product experience, and consequently a drop in sales.
