Product information management software
One verified, current record for every product, and the same data on your website, quotes and spec sheets.
Who it’s for
This offer is for the owner and the operations lead of a manufacturer or distributor in Canada or the United States. The offer fits a company that sells through dealers, distributors or a website, where the same product data feeds every channel.
Product information sits in old files, in several versions. Nobody knows which record is right, so the website and a spec sheet can show different dimensions for the same product.
Product information management (PIM) keeps one record for each product, with every detail your channels need, such as dimensions, materials, photos and documents. Every channel then reads from that record.
The module comes from product data work ThriveAI did for a distributor.
The offer fits when:
- Product data lives in spreadsheets, old catalogs and the ERP, and the sources disagree.
- Dealers or customers call to ask which specification is right.
- A new product is slow to reach the website and the quotes.
- Nobody can say which version of a product sheet is current.
What you get
How it runs
After the diagnostic, six weeks to verified records in use.
The first stage takes six weeks. The price is set after the diagnostic and stays the same however many days the work takes. The module runs on your own workspace and keeps running after week 6. A monthly plan covers improvements and support.
What we need from you
What changes
Every product has one record, checked against every source. When a dimension or a material changes, your team changes the record once, and every channel reads the new value.
The measure is the share of product records that are complete and current, before and after. The number shows how much of the catalog your channels can trust.
Quotes and orders start from the right specification, so fewer come back for a correction, and cash comes in sooner.
After the first stage
The verified records keep running on your workspace after the first stage, and every module you add reads the same records.
One workspace per company. Modules are added one at a time, and each new module reads the data that is already in the warehouse.
What can come next
Your products and every verified value now sit in your workspace. The next module starts from the same records.
- CPQ, which prices and draws each configured quote from your real costs.
- Material requirements planning, which sets a min and max for every part and drafts orders by supplier.
- Sales and operations planning, which forecasts sales by product so you can buy and produce earlier.
- Advanced planning and scheduling, which shortens production lead times with a schedule built on real capacity.
- A custom module for margins, orders, reports or any other job outside your ERP, such as margin and pricing or the order desk.
