Six reasons you should use Pimcore

Pimcore creates order and saves time

No more data chaos! With Pimcore you collect and manage all data in a central data storage location and can combine all of the information easily. This has several advantages: For example, you only have to enter and update product information once. In addition, you can associate marketing activities with sales figures – and thus take specific customer interests into consideration.
Pimcore is mulit-faceted

Companies want to reach their customers at several touchpoints, so they have to serve different marketing and sales channels. This is called multichannel publishing – and Pimcore is the ideal tool for this. Pimcore can collect all information media-neutral and adapt it to the various output channels. In the browser or a PDF catalog, there may be space for detailed product information, in the app it must be shorter and in an online marketplace other information is required than in your online shop. Pimcore can take all of this into account. Pimcore is, therefore, ideally suited for a successful multichannel or omnichannel strategy.
Pimcore is customizable and flexible

Stay flexible with Pimcore. Pimcore offers you a fully customizable configuration interface that can be combined with various modules and used for several purposes – including PIM, DAM, MDM and CDP.

You can store your own CRM or ERP data in your Pimcore database. With this information, you can target your customers along their customer journey.
Pimcore is open-minded and international

Pimcore follows the API-First approach, so it can be connected via API interfaces with other enterprise systems (such as BI, CRM, ERP or ESB) and external third-party applications. This makes it easy to import and export all information.
