Frequently asked questions
Answers to your questions
What is a PIM and why does a construction manufacturer need one?
A PIM (Product Information Management) is a central system for all product information. For construction manufacturers it brings technical sheets, standards, CE documentation and multilingual content together in a single source, so publishing to webshop, dealer portal and PDF is flawless and consistent.
How long does implementation take?
With PimLayer you're usually live within weeks. Onboarding is included: we configure alongside you and help with the import and connections.
Does PimLayer work with CE marking and declarations of performance (DoP)?
Yes. Standards, CE marking and DoP are linked directly to the product, with version control and an audit trail, so you can always prove which version was published and when.
Can PimLayer connect to my ERP and webshop?
Yes. PimLayer forms the layer between your ERP and your sales channels, with ready-made connectors for the most common ERPs, webshops and marketplaces.
Does PimLayer support ETIM and GS1?
