Catalog management is just another name for Product Information Management

A PIM platform is the single source of truth where all your product information (descriptions, prices, images, SKUs, and more) lives. Plytix PIM software takes things a step further by making it easy to distribute your product information wherever you need it. You can sell anywhere using Channels, create online catalogs with Brand Portals, and generate PDF catalogs with Product Sheets.

It’s almost impossible to sell online in this day and age without PIM software. Selling online is no longer about just setting up your webstore and ranking on Google. To make the most of your online business, you need to be selling on multiple channels like Amazon, Google Shopping, Facebook, and more! But the more sites you sell on, the harder it is to manage product information in spreadsheets (think inaccurate data, formatting errors, and time wasted doing it all manually).

That’s where Plytix comes in. Plytix is a collaboration tool where you can bring all your product data together and get it ready for everywhere you sell.

Anyone who sells online can benefit from PIM software, but you definitely need one if you’re managing over 100 products and/or selling on more than one channel. Plytix is the only PIM specially made (and priced!) for small to medium-sized businesses.

When you get started with Plytix, your dedicated customer success manager will work with you to create a custom onboarding plan that addresses the challenges that first brought you to Plytix. This tailored, whiteglove onboarding is required for all paid accounts. Here's some of what you can expect:

• A success plan created with your business goals and timeline in mind

• 1-on-1 Plytix training for your project lead

• Weekly meetings for Plytix implementation, goal setting, and to ensure the project timeline is on track

“Outputs” help you share your product data outside of the PIM. You can use each output you purchase for one of the following:

• Channels: build product feeds that automatically populate with all your product data, so you can stop manually filling out templates. 1 output = 1 product feed

• Brand Portals: share always up-to-date online catalogs with anyone. 1 output = 1 online catalog

Yes, you can also use our PIM for Digital Asset Management (DAM)! Manage, format, and resize images, PDFs, and all file types directly in Plytix.

Not at all! You can use all of the add-ons available in Plytix without a technical team. Our platform is easy to use so you don’t have to hire any specialized help to do everything you want.

Plytix helps you distribute product information anywhere online using one of two main methods:

1. Upload a CSV template from any of your sales channels or pick and choose product attributes to create your own. This becomes a CSV, XLSX, or XML feed (you choose!) that automatically updates with your latest product content, which you can send to your desired sales channel.
2. Use our open API to create a custom integration with your sales channel.

Shopify wasn’t designed for you to manage and create content for multichannel sales. Copying and pasting your product information directly from Shopify won't lead to success on Amazon, Google Shopping, or any other channel because the information won’t be optimized for that channel’s requirements. Plytix allows you to transform and prepare your product information so that it’s tailored perfectly to wherever you want to sell.

Wherever you sell, you can use Plytix to get your products online. The process varies depending on the platform, but they all have one thing in common: using Plytix for multichannel distribution is much easier and faster than doing it manually.
