Standardize incoming product data, reduce manual cleanup, and streamline your catalog workflows.
Suppliers all send product information in their own format — some as spreadsheets, some as PDFs, others via email. The result? Incomplete, inconsistent, and unstructured data that slows down your team. A PIM solution (like KatanaPIM) brings all that supplier content into one place, cleans it, and transforms it into reliable, ready-to-sell product data.
You spend hours reconciling mismatched columns, hunting for images, or guessing what a supplier meant. The more suppliers you have, the worse it gets — and the more mistakes slip through. That’s not scalable.
A Product Information Management (PIM) system gives you a smart intake process for supplier content:

Why do suppliers provide inconsistent product data? Suppliers often work with multiple retailers, each with different requirements. Without clear guidelines and standardized processes, they default to whatever format is easiest for them—not necessarily what's most useful for your business.
Can PIM systems handle complex product catalogs? Yes, modern PIM platforms support complex product hierarchies, variant relationships, and industry-specific attributes. Whether you sell simple consumer goods or complex technical products, PIM systems can accommodate your catalog structure.
How long does PIM implementation take? Implementation timelines vary based on catalog complexity and integration requirements. However, most businesses see initial benefits within weeks of deployment, with full optimization achieved over several months.
What's the ROI of implementing a PIM system? ROI comes from multiple sources: reduced manual labor costs, faster time-to-market for new products, improved conversion rates from better product data, and reduced customer service costs from fewer data-related inquiries.
Clean supplier data is the foundation for scaling your product catalog — and your business. A PIM makes it effortless.
