Publish Comprehensive Product Data
High-quality and comprehensive product information is crucial for managing customer expectations and ensuring active customer engagement. Businesses with expanding product ranges now have to collate and publish various descriptions, product attributes, categories, and images. In addition, nutritional values, allergens and other legally required information.
However, one of the biggest challenges facing wholesalers is managing this mountain of new product information while ensuring it is always accessible and accurate.
The first step is to ditch the spreadsheets and invest in a Product Information Management (PIM) system. This simplifies the management and maintenance of all this product data because it consolidates everything into a central hub.
What’s unique about Oporteo PIM is that it is designed for the specific needs of the wholesalers. It not only provides you with a storage solution but also has facilities to streamline data onboarding. It also includes workflows to ensure quality standards and links to a range of sales channels to ensure consistent distribution across multiple channels.
