What does managing product data really cost you today? Often far more than you’d think, because the time is spread across many small tasks that nobody adds up.
Where the time disappears
Take creating datasheets. A common picture: a product manager, sometimes at director level, spends hours each week composing datasheets in an Excel template. That file sits on a shared drive or SharePoint, opens slowly, and the end result still doesn’t look professional. Add to that updating multiple channels, translating into multiple languages and correcting errors, and the cost adds up fast.
The factors that determine your saving
A realistic estimate looks at:
- The number of product datasheets and how often they change
- The time you spend per datasheet today
- The number of languages you publish in
- The number of channels you update manually
- The hourly rate of the people involved
A PIM that generates datasheets automatically and multilingually and feeds all channels from a single source removes the largest part of that manual work.
