Looking to modernize your product data operations? 

Why PIM Implementation Matters

Your product data lives in too many places: ERP, spreadsheets, shared drives, DAMs, legacy tools, websites, & marketplaces. These data siloes slow teams down, increase costs, hurt employee, customer, & partner experiences, and lead to lost sales.

A well implemented PIM helps you:

The Challenges We Solve

We design the PIM solution and operating model so you do not end up with “just another system to maintain” but a real product data hub.

Most PIM projects fail not because of the software, but because of implementation. StrikeTru helps you avoid that by solving problems like

Fragmented data sources

Product information scattered across ERP, Excel, legacy databases, and shared drives

Inconsistent data structures

Duplicated product categories, attributes, relationships, groupings, reference data, and naming across brands, regions, and channels

Manual, error-prone enrichment & publishing

Teams copy, paste, & publish content for every channel

No clear ownership

Everyone edits data, no one owns it, data quality suffers

Complex catalogs

Variants, configurable options, kits, bundles, fitments, accessories, dealer pricing tiers, multi-brand, multi-region, and multi-channel data

Disconnected systems

PIM, ERP, eCommerce, and other systems are not in sync

Bad data quality

Incorrect, incomplete, duplicate, and/or inconsistent data

Our PIM Implementation Process

Described below is our recommended PIM implementation process. Depending on your budget, launch timeline, and preferences, we can recommend a modified implementation approach. Please contact us for more details.

Strategy & Planning

We help you clarify your product data vision  -  from mapping current vs future states to defining high-impact PIM use cases. Our team provides PIM consulting to validate existing processes, shape a modern “to-be” operating model, and build a strategic framework that aligns technology, teams, and workflows. The result is a phased rollout plan, clear scope, key success factors, and a compelling business case that sets your PIM program up for long-term success.

Requirements & Discovery

Through collaborative workshops, we review your workflows, product data and digital asset structures and content, business rules, and enrichment, migration, and integration needs. We also review your reporting, security, and usability requirements. We create key project documents including a Project Plan, Data Model Definition Document, Authorization Requirements Document, UI Configuration Requirements Document, Integration Requirements Document, Workflow Requirements Document, Automation Rules Requirements Document, and Data Migration Requirements Document.

Solution Design

We blueprint the full PIM solution, aligning the capabilities of your chosen PIM provider with your data model, validations, business rules, workflows, completeness rules, content automations, roles & permissions, integrations, and migration mappings. This becomes the foundation of your system.

Environment Setup

We provision and configure all required PIM, commerce, and other connected system environments (sandbox & production). This includes PIM setup, deployments, access & connectivity setup, backup configuration, and aligning with your SDLC standards.

Solution Build & Integration

We configure and customize the PIM, build inbound and outbound integrations (ERP, DAM, commerce, & other), develop data migration scripts, load sample data, and handle ongoing connected platform impacts. Multiple conference room pilots ensure the build aligns with real business needs.

QA & End-to-End Testing

We test the entire solution across functional flows, integrations, and performance. All issues are tracked, resolved, and validated. The outcome is a UAT-ready build.

Data Migration

We extract, clean, prep, and migrate all product data, reference data, and digital assets. Three rounds of migration (sample + two full) ensure accuracy, completeness, and performance. Detailed reports are delivered after each round.

UAT, Training & Deployment Prep

We deploy the UAT build, deliver tailored training, orchestrate and support end-to-end user testing, and finalize the cutover plan. Once users sign off, the system is prepared for production release.

Cutover & Go-Live

We execute the production deployment, finalize data loads, validate configurations, and manage launch activities. A short freeze window ensures accurate, final-source data migration.

Hypercare Support

Post-launch, our team provides hands-on support for stabilization, fixes, and user guidance. Once stable, the project transitions to the client’s or StrikeTru’s dedicated support team.

Popular FAQs

1. Why should we hire StrikeTru as our PIM implementation partner instead of doing it ourselves?

A successful PIM implementation involves much more than configuring software. Over the past 15+ years, we’ve helped organizations navigate data modeling, governance, integrations, migration, workflows, and user adoption challenges that can create more risk than the platform itself. Our role is to reduce implementation risk and establish a scalable product data foundation.

We’ve spent more than 15 years helping manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and brands implement PIM, PXM, syndication, and product data management solutions. Our experience spans multiple industries, catalog sizes, business models, and integration landscapes.

Most failures are not caused by the software. In our experience, poor data quality, unclear ownership, weak governance, lack of stakeholder alignment, and unrealistic expectations create the biggest implementation challenges.

We regularly integrate PIM platforms with ERP systems, eCommerce platforms, DAM solutions, marketplaces, search platforms, syndication networks, and custom business applications. Our focus is creating a scalable product data ecosystem.

We follow a structured PIM implementation methodology that includes discovery, solution architecture, data modeling, integrations, migration, testing, training, go-live, and hypercare. Our objective is not simply to deploy a platform but to establish a sustainable operating model for managing product information.

AI-powered search, recommendations, conversational commerce, and agentic commerce all depend on trusted product data. We help organizations establish the structured, governed, and enriched product information required to support these initiatives.

The timeline for a PIM implementation depends on data complexity, integrations, migration requirements, workflows, and customization. For SMBs, a focused implementation may take a few months, while enterprise implementations can take longer. During discovery, we define the scope, milestones, dependencies, and timeline based on your specific requirements.
