Overview

What is the PIM System?

The Product Information Management (PIM) system developed by Wizart is a centralized database designed to handle and organize digital product data. Its primary role is to support the Wizart Visualizer and Wizart Visualizer API by enabling efficient catalog management. Through PIM, users can upload, manage, and structure large collections of product data, such as images, descriptions, and metadata, ensuring that all relevant information is available and accessible for product visualization.

The PIM system streamlines the management of product information, making it easy for manufacturers, retailers, and distributors to collaborate and share data. This enhances the overall experience for end users by ensuring that all product data is accurate, consistent, and ready to be visualized in any supported environment.

Key Features

• Product Upload and Management: PIM allows users to upload product images (such as flooring, wallpaper, tiles, etc.) and related metadata into a centralized system. Users can organize products into collections or brands using a tree-like structure for easy navigation.

• Search, Edit, and Preview: The system provides functionality for searching, editing, and previewing products. This ensures that users can make adjustments and verify how products will appear in the Wizart Visualizer before they are published.

• Data Sharing: Retailers and distributors can request product data directly from manufacturers. PIM enables a controlled, secure sharing process where manufacturers retain full control over their data, granting access as needed.

• Bulk Updates: Users can update product information in bulk without re-uploading entire catalogs, simplifying the process of keeping product data up to date.

• Downloading Patterns/Designs: Once approved by the Manufacturers, Retailers/Distributors can download pattern/design images and their corresponding metadata to add them to their website's PDPs.

• Analytics and Tracking: Manufacturers can track how their shared data is used by retailers and distributors, providing valuable insights into product performance and data utilization.

How PIM Integrates with the Visualizer and Visualizer API

The PIM system acts as the core platform for managing product catalogs used in both the Wizart Visualizer and the Wizart Visualizer API. This seamless integration allows users to upload product images, organize collections, and maintain metadata in PIM, which then feeds into the Visualizer and API.

For the Wizart Visualizer, PIM ensures that all products, from flooring to wall coverings, are available for users to apply in real-time on interior images. The product data is well-structured, allowing end-users to quickly browse and apply materials on their own space visualizations.

For the Wizart Visualizer API, the same product data is accessible through API endpoints, enabling developers to build custom visualizer solutions that rely on the PIM-managed catalogs. This ensures a consistent experience across different platforms, whether accessed through Wizart’s native interface or a custom-built front-end.

By focusing purely on catalog and product data management, PIM ensures that product-related information is consistently accurate and ready for use across all channels.
