Requirements for a PIM system in product data maintenance

Operational requirements change - systems must be able to keep pace. A flexibly adaptable database creates the basis for quickly mapping new processes, structures or product data. This allows companies to remain efficient and capable of acting even during growth, internationalization or digitalization.

Many companies face the challenge of constantly adapting their data structures to new market conditions, products or internal processes.

Data managers need a flexible data model that is easy to configure - including clear rights management, mass processing and clear quality control.


Product managers value central, convenient data maintenance with individually controllable workflows and approvals in order to be able to react quickly and specifically to changes in the product range.


Technical editors, on the other hand, need transparency and traceability when creating technical content in order to reliably meet legal requirements. A modular database solution that covers all these requirements ensures consistent processes, high data quality and long-term investment security.

"Our requirements for the PIM system were complex. It must be possible to manage the approvals for the individual devices for each region at any time. In crossbase, we found a partner who understood these special requirements and implemented them accordingly."

Advantages for product data maintenance

Flexibly customizable product data model

The data model is configured on a customer-specific basis according to the individual requirements profile. Sophisticated correlations, classifications, variant and configuration models can also be mapped. Administrators can also adapt the configuration to changing operational requirements at any time.

More about the product database

Convenient data maintenance with a modern web interface

The web interface is used to maintain and localize data for PIM and MAM with workflow support. The existing data can be conveniently checked visually with an HTML or PDF product preview. The progress of data maintenance is clearly displayed in diagrams in a dashboard.

More about the web application server

Simply import data from suppliers

The data import tool is used to import product data, images and texts in formats such as Excel and BMEcat directly into the PIM system. The mapping to the fields is carried out via a graphical user interface and can be saved for regular imports.

Create texts uniformly and efficiently

Formatted texts are entered in a media-neutral way using a convenient text editor. Text modules can be stored in granular form, translated once and reused as often as required. Texts and attributes can be dynamically combined in all languages using templates and placeholders.

Automate graphics and drawings with Illustrator

Multilingual texts or product features can be placed in Illustrator templates and then converted into other formats. This allows product-specific graphics or drawings to be created automatically and error-free for any language and output channel.
