The most significant benfits of Pimcore's e-commerce solution
Pimcore is an all-round talent
The Pimcore Digital Commerce Platform is a platform that combines all processes in the area of content and commerce. Pimcore is a framework (programming framework) that you can use as a content management system (CMS) for your product information management (PIM) and master data management (MDM), for digital asset management (DAM), or as a customer data platform (CDP). With Pimcore, you will build a complete e-commerce system and significantly improve your time-to-market balance (time to market).
Pimcore makes online stores successful
The Pimcore Digital Commerce Platform enables state-of-the-art shopping frontends in responsive designs that automatically adapt to different browsers and devices. You can create your store from many individually-assembled e-commerce components or use fully-configured and ready-to-use online shop frontends. No matter which option you choose, Pimcore ensures first-class shopping experiences!
Pimcore is a professional PIM system
If you want to sell many products successfully, you need a professional product information management system that centrally manages all information, links it to the company’s own ERP system and provides it for various marketing channels: for your own online shops, online marketplaces and social media, for example. The Pimcore Digital Commerce Platform is just such a PIM system!
Pimcore inspires B2C and B2B customers
With the Pimcore Digital Commerce Platform, you can develop a wide range of powerful e-commerce solutions in the B2C or B2B context – from online shops to subscription platforms and ticketing systems. Pimcore offers you numerous functions for digital business processes with end customers or with other companies.
Pimcore is used worldwide successfully
Pimcore is used by over 100,000 companies around the world. Large companies such as AUDI, BOSCH, FLEUROP, IKEA, LEGO and TUI are just as enthusiastic about the diverse Pimcore options as the small companies.
This is partly due to the fact that Pimcore can be used across borders. Pimcore is based on the international code standard UTF-8; the platform automatically translates product information into several languages and supports different currencies and units of measurement. Pimcore is simply world class!
Pimcore is license free
The Pimcore Digital Commerce Platform is an open-source framework – and that comes with many advantages! First: Pimcore is license-free. Second: As a framework, Pimcore is a programming framework consisting of versatile and completely customizable components. Third: The source code of any open-source software is openly visible – and so, Pimcore is constantly being developed by an enthusiastic community.
Pimcore knows your customers
The Pimcore Digital Commerce Platform is closely connected to the Pimcore Customer Data Platform (CDP). Here you can manage and analyze all customer data and information on customer activities and lay the foundation for behavioral targeting – that is, for behavior-specific marketing automations and real-time personalization. Pimcore is, therefore, the ideal tool if you want to optimize your marketing activities.
Pimcore permite Headless Commerce
The Pimcore Digital Commerce Platform supports the headless commerce approach, which is becoming increasingly popular in e-commerce. “Headless” means that the frontend and backend can be edited separately from each other without having to change the entire software architecture. For example, with the Pimcore Digital Commerce Platform, you can change the shop look without having to touch the backend. At the same time, Pimcore guarantees efficient data exchange between all components and can be connected to other company systems or external, third-party applications via API interfaces.
