The name
Our name was originally short for 'Product Analytics,' but no one seemed to be able to pronounce it properly.
We came up with dozens of good excuses for a name change—we even pivoted the business from analytics to a PIM solution, but by then It was too late, the name stuck. We still have a lot of fun listening to people try to pronounce it.
Hint, it’s P + analytics.
The goal
Our goal is simple:
To kill spreadsheets.
We simply don’t believe that anyone should have to manage their product information in a spreadsheet anymore.
Seriously, that’s it.
The culture
If you love reading ‘empowering’ phrases like “vibrant collective” and “innovative individuals,” then be prepared to be disappointed…
That’s because to get a typical result, you have to do only typical things. But that’s not really our style.
We’re a community of chill and fun-loving humans who believe that work doesn’t have to be boring. We make each day exciting by collaborating together and enjoying the occasional bout of silliness: like a pool competition, potluck, party, or game of padel.
We’re kind of the cool kids in the PIM playground (if we do say so ourselves), and we love to challenge the status quo to help anyone break free from f*#king boring spreadsheets.
Our story begins…
Our co-founders Morten Poulsen and Alex Lopez came up with the idea to create an image-sharing platform that would help brands track the performance of their products from third-party vendors’ websites.
Sowing the seed
Morten and Alex secured the first round of funding from a Danish venture capital firm. In a bold move for a fresh startup, operations instantly took off with two locations, Copenhagen and Malaga.
Casa Plytix
Operations in Malaga started to grow, we moved out of our coworking space and into an old Andalusian mansion in El Palo Malaga, affectionately referred to as Casa Plytix.
A pivotal moment
In our humble opinion, our product was fantastic but the market didn’t think so. After 2 years we had to make a radical change and cut our losses, but we werent’ going to give up. Using the insights collected from our users we decided to pivot to what is now known as Plytix PIM.
More funding
Now officially as a PIM software company we embarked on another roadshow to secure more funding to start expanding again. This time our focus was clear, we wanted to build a PIM exclusively for small and medium-sized businesses.
Our first customers!
After three years of hard work, trial, and error, Plytix officially launched its PIM and got our first-ever paying customers onboard.
A new home
With our team getting bigger by the day it was time to upgrade to a new office in the middle of Malaga city.
What's next?
Stay tuned, there’s so much more to come!

"I've worked in sales before but things are definitely different here. For us, honesty and being able to sleep at night are important. We’d rather not close a sale than force a client into something they didn’t want.
So when a client signs up, we know it'll be a relationship that lasts."
Head of Sales
"Being at Plytix really feels like the place where my passions and career goals totally sync up, which makes me excited to come in every day.
The best part? I don't dread coming back to work on Mondays. Instead, I'm hyped for the week ahead with my amazing colleagues to get sh*t done."
