PIM Implementation
Get your PIM live – right, fast, and future-proof.
We don’t just talk PIM, we build, integrate, optimise, and support it.
With PIMLEAD, you get a full-service implementation that brings your systems, product data, and people together for real results.
The PIMLEAD Implementation Journey
From messy product data to smooth operations — here’s how we get you there.
We follow a clear, proven process to plan, build, and embed your PIM system the smart way — tailored to your business, your people, and your goals.
- 01
Discovery & Planning
What happens:
- Stakeholder workshops
- Current state analysis (systems, data, people)
- Define business goals and priorities
- Implementation roadmap
Why it matters:
You need a solid foundation. This step ensures your PIM project is grounded in your actual business needs — not just features or tech hype.
- 02
Data Modeling & Setup
What happens:
- Design taxonomy (product hierarchy)
- Define attributes, relationships, variants
- Configure inheritance rules, data groups
- Build your data structure in the PIM
Why it matters:
Your data model is the core of how PIM works. Get this wrong, and everything else suffers — searchability, enrichment, automation, scalability.
- 03
Integration & Migration
What happens:
- Connect the PIM to ERP, eCommerce, DAM, etc.
- Migrate legacy product data
- Cleanse and validate records
- Test data flows
Why it matters:
You need a clean start. Migrating messy or inconsistent data without a plan leads to junk in, junk out — and missed potential.
- 04
Governance & Quality Control
What happens:
- Set validation rules (e.g. required fields)
- Create workflows for data approval/review
- Establish ownership and data roles
- Define ongoing quality processes
Why it matters:
Data needs discipline. Governance makes sure your product info stays high quality after go-live — without constant firefighting.
- 05
Channel Syndication & Optimisation
What happens:
- Map PIM content to multiple channels (e.g. Amazon, Shopify, print)
- Automate format/export rules
- Optimise for channel-specific needs (titles, bullets, media)
Why it matters:
PIM isn’t just about managing data — it’s about publishing it where and how your customers need it. This is where ROI really kicks in.

Training & Hypercare
What happens:
- Train users by role (admins, marketers, merchandisers)
- Deliver custom documentation & guides
- Offer post-launch support (“hypercare”)
- Refine workflows and fix early snags
Why it matters:
Your team needs to own the system. Without proper training and support, even the best PIM won’t deliver its full potential.
