Product Information Management (PIM)
PIM (Product Information Management) is a system designed to centrally manage product data — descriptions, specifications, technical details, media assets, and translations. It ensures that consistent and high-quality product information is available across multiple channels: websites, e-commerce platforms, printed catalogs, and internal systems.
For multinational organizations like Saint-Gobain, PIM plays a critical role in keeping product data structured, accurate, and up to date for different markets.
Content Hub
The Content Hub acts as a translation and transformation layer for internal clients across multiple countries. While a PIM (such as Riversand or Stibo) holds the core product information, it often needs to be:
? Filtered to match regional product portfolios
⚙️ Transformed into the proper data formats required by local systems
? Published securely, so it is accessible only to authorized stakeholders
This ensures that product data flows smoothly from a single source to multiple destinations, adapted to each market’s needs.
Our Work for Saint-Gobain
For our client Saint-Gobain, we have carried out key tasks in their PIM and data flow infrastructure:
? PIM connection maintenance & transformation
Data flow: Riversand → Content Hub → Customers? PIM data source migration
Migrated data source from Riversand to Stibo
Data flow: Stibo → Content Hub
