means building (and maintaining) a&nbsp;clear attribute structure, with shared definitions and rules: if&nbsp;everyone speaks the same language,&nbsp;the catalog grows without delays or

Finally, integration with DAM software or native DAM+PIM management can make a difference in managing your eCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I need a PIM if I already have an ERP?<\/strong><br>The ERP is one of the sources from which data comes, which in this case can be information such as prices, stock, inventory or master data. The PIM centralizes and standardizes this and other information about your products, simplifies management and enrichment of product pages (sometimes also with related assets) and finally distributes them to eCommerce, marketplaces and other channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can a PIM help me reduce returns and cart abandonment?<\/strong><br>A PIM represents an ally for companies to increase sales and build customer loyalty. As the single source of truth for product attributes and data, the PIM for eCommerce improves quality, accuracy and consistency of information, ensuring rich, complete and consistent shopping experiences across all sales channels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a PIM for eCommerce, what problems it solves and how to choose it: consistent product data, updated feeds and faster time-to-market<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":21866,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insights"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21788"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21915,"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21788\/revisions\/21915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thron.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
