AgilityCMS - Product Information Management

Product Information Management (PIM) has become a crucial technology investment for IT and business executives of large and mid-sized organisations. Aggregating and managing all product master data in a central repository is a corner stone of a business's Master Data Management (MDM) strategy.

A solid PIM solution helps businesses to dramatically improve data accuracy, to enforce data access and usage (governance). It lets business grow and adjust SKU count, for example after a corporate merger. Proper product information management makes your business agile and lets you respond to changing market conditions. AgilityCMS® is the PIM solution for leading manufacturers, distributor, retailers and other product-centric businesses.

AgilityCMS is the cornerstone PIM solution to help your company gather, manage, approve, and publish product information. AgilityCMS is built on an open architecture that allows you to integrate the solution with any other enterprise application. Whether you are embarking on a Master Data Management (MDM) journey to consolidate and integrate multiple data silos, or if your product information management needs are driven by sales and marketing goals, AgilityCMS is the right solution.

AgilityCMS is used as the single source of truth for all product information in the enterprise - from the initial data aggregation from disparate sources like product suppliers, portals or excel spread sheets all the way to the distribution and analysis of product information either for internal usage or for the creation of customer communication.

AgilityCMS integrates with other back-end applications like your ERP, BI or Data Warehousing systems. As such data does not have to necessarily have to reside in AgilityCMS but is the place where data from all various sources is being linked, viewed, edited and enriched for internal and external use. It provides facilities to add and approve rich content and determine product profitability. Unlike most other PIM solutions available in the market, AgilityCMS integrates seamlessly with DTP applications, as well as, POS, e-Mail, web content management and e-commerce systems.

Some of the key PIM capabilities of AgilityCMS include:

  • Data searching – AgilityCMS provides extensive query capabilities, including a full Boolean search function with unlimited levels, along with a free-text search as well. 
  • Bespoken & complex data hierarchies - AgilityCMS allows you to create complex product data hierarchies, allocating them into groups and categories. This structure is configurable to follow standard classification models or according to the categorisation terms your company uses.  
  • Data inheritance and assignment – Attributes and taxonomies can be assigned to categories. Any product within that category can automatically inherit the associated product information and pre-defined values. This capability together with built-in validation rules ensures a simpler process for users and provides accurate and consistent data. 
  • Data governance - Configurable user interfaces can be defined for a department, group or individual. Data usage control is maintained by defining user privileges based on a product workflow status. 
  • Workflow – With AgilityCMS stages are easily set up for specific workflows and publication processes and can be automated to determine user rights and trigger assignments and actions required at any stage in the process. 
  • Product performance analysis – AgilityCMS can be configured to display real time information such as sales performance, square inch analysis, past product usage and versions, stock levels and pricing strategy to assist in the product selection process. 
  • Data exchange – AgilityCMS supports all the standards of data exchange with other systems and also offers a module to allow the viewing (and editing, if permitted) of information in other business systems without the need to replicate or download this data.
