Frequently asked questionsAnswers 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 datasheets, 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 typically go live within a few weeks. Onboarding is included: we configure alongside you and help with importing existing data and the connections to your ERP and channels.
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 demonstrate 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 commonly used ERP systems, webshops and marketplaces.
