ROI calculator: what product data management costs and saves

Calculate how much time and money you lose on manual product data management, and what a PIM can save you. An interactive module follows soon.

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 nobody adds up.

Where the time disappears

Take creating sheets. A common picture: a product manager, sometimes at director level, spends hours each week composing sheets in an Excel template. The file sits on a shared drive or SharePoint, opens slowly, and the result still doesn’t look professional. Add 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 sheets and how often they change
  • The time you spend per sheet today
  • The number of languages you publish in
  • The number of channels you update manually
  • The hourly rate of the people involved

Frequently asked questions

Answers to your questions

How much can a PIM save a construction company?

It depends on your number of products, languages and channels, and how much time you spend today on manual sheet work. The biggest gain usually comes from automatically generating multilingual sheets and eliminating double work.

What is the calculation based on?

On realistic assumptions: time per sheet, the number of sheets and languages, the number of channels you update, and the hourly rate of the people involved.
