How to move your PIM data to feed® PIM - easier than you think
Switching your PIM solution may sound expensive and extensive, but the truth is that this is one of the most value-adding moves you can make to ensure a more efficient, modern and future-oriented product data flow.
feed® PIM gives you a solution that is both intuitive, powerful - and not least easy to get started with.
Here you will get an overview of what a migration project can look like, and what you as a customer can do to succeed.
Start with an analysis of today's data flow
The first step is to understand how your product data is organized today.
Most companies have information spread across multiple systems - PIM, ERP, e-commerce, industry databases and internal files.
Therefore, the migration starts with gaining an overview:
Where is which data located?
How are they structured?
What manual processes have arisen over time?
Just this review often provides a valuable picture of the potential for improvement.
Clean up your own data - and only take what you need with you.
Over time, many companies accumulate fields, variants, descriptions, and processes that no longer really serve their current purpose.
The migration is therefore a perfect opportunity to:
Clear away what doesn't need to go on
Standardize and simplify the data structure
Ensure that you build a more flexible everyday life in the new solution
This also makes the import process much easier.
Export the data - and continue working in Excel
Once you know what you need to take with you, the next step is to extract the data from your existing system.
For most people, Excel format is the fastest and most flexible working format.
It makes it easy to:
Processing the data volume
Clean up texts, categories and attributes
Prepare the structure as feed® expects
And yes, you don't need to be an Excel expert. We have simple templates to guide you.
Design your new data model in feed® PIM
Before the actual import occurs, perhaps the most important step of them all comes:
Defining how your product data should be structured going forward .
This can happen in parallel with the analysis of the current model.
Here we clarify:
Which fields, attributes and categories you actually need
How variant logic, media handling, and language should work
What you want to maintain - and what you want to improve
A clear data model makes the rest of the migration both quick and safe.
Import your data - quickly, safely and easily
Once the data model is in place and the Excel sheets are ready, importing into feed® PIM is a smooth operation.
We support:
Excel import
Uploading media and documents
API import
