inriver PIM vs. PIMworks

inriver PIM is well suited for growing companies that might have multiple brands, categories, languages and a complicated data model. inriver PIM is more than a syndication service, which is important to differentiate from other so-called PIM providers. I specifically like the ability for ecosystem collaboration across multiple technology platforms. However, inriver, is a complicated system and requires an implementation partner, which could price it out of the range for some companies.

PIMworks is a very good eCommerce based Product information management software. I have had a very good experience with it so far. Using PIMworks, it is very straightforward to define workflows and also create channel complaint content. The automatic content enrichment feature is very good as it fetches top-performing content from multiple web sources and enriches our overall product and catalog content.

When I compared these other PIM platforms, I found several were not true PIM systems. Although they solved for some significant syndication challenges, they did not have the ability to build a relational databased across products and categories. Furthermore, the interface is much more user-friendly and the ability to engage the entire team with workflow is a big plus!
