General overview

In addition to manual product uploads to the PIM system, Wizart offers an API that allows for automating this process. The configuration of the connector (automation) can be handled by both Wizart and the client. Wizart API offers extensive capabilities. Furthermore, it is possible to set up a two-way connector. For instance, if a manufacturer's data is already available in our PIM system and we have the most up-to-date information, you can automatically receive this data on your website as well. Such functionality is also feasible.

The Product Information Management system (PIM system) developed by Wizart is a comprehensive database that enables the uploading, management, and secure sharing of digital assets from a centralized source.

Key Features:

  1. Uploading Product Information: The PIM system allows users to upload images of patterns/designs and their associated metadata, such as information about product samples.

  2. Managing Displayed Information: Users can organize and structure the displayed information on uploaded product items using a tree-like structure. The database provides easy navigation options.

  3. Searching and Editing Product Information: The PIM system enables users to search for and edit the information related to the uploaded products.

  4. Previewing Products: Prior to publishing on the Visualizer, users can preview how the products will appear when applied to the corresponding surface.

  5. Deleting Product Items: Users have the option to delete uploaded product items and their corresponding metadata.

  6. Generating Renders: The PIM system can generate sets of renders, which are images of room scenes showcasing the products applied. These renders enhance Product Detail Pages (PDPs) and serve other marketing purposes.

  7. Data Sharing Requests: Retailers/Distributors can request data sharing from the Manufacturers through the PIM system.

  8. Approval of Data Sharing Requests: Manufacturers have the ability to approve data sharing requests initiated by Retailers/Distributors.

  9. Data Usage Tracking: Manufacturers can track how their data is being used by Retailers/Distributors through personal Analytics Dashboards in Google Data Studio.

  10. Subscription and Notifications: Retailers/Distributors can subscribe to Manufacturers' updates and automatically receive notifications when new collections are added.

  11. 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.

Here are several key points explaining why Wizart utilizes its own PIM system:

  • Ability to Upload Custom Products: Users can independently upload the necessary products with their attributes.

  • Client's Control over PIM Account Inventory: The client has full control over the stock and inventory within their PIM account.

  • Automation of Data Upload Process: The PIM system allows for the automation of data upload processes and establishes a seamless connection between the website's database and the PIM system.

  • Abundance of Features: The PIM system includes a wide range of features such as rendering and visualizer configuration.

  • Efficient System Management: Wizart can easily manage the system, ensuring data integrity and providing comprehensive data protection.

  • Quick Product Updates Based on the Website: The PIM system enables rapid updates of products in accordance with the website's requirements and can be customized using connectors.
