Comparison: PXM vs. PIM vs. DAM
How do the disciplines PXM, PIM and DAM differ? We demonstrate the differences between the various data management systems and show how they relate to each other and for which business models they are most suitable.
Product Information Management is used as a software solution for the central storage, management and distribution of product data. The successful integration of a PIM solution is therefore also useful for small and medium-sized enterprises that pursue an omnichannel strategy and market their products via websites, online stores, marketplaces, and at the physical point of sale. In this context, PIM systems are also beneficial for retailers who need to manage product data from different suppliers and merchants and synchronize it in the right format for the different output channels.
For a long time, many small and medium-sized companies could not afford the “luxury” of a PIM solution. In addition to the higher costs of acquiring such a software solution, the integration into the existing IT infrastructure also took a lot of time.
„MarketsandMarkets estimates the global PIM market size is expected to grow from USD 9.0 billion in 2020 to USD 16.0 billion by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.2% the forecast period. The major factors driving the growth of the PIM industry include rising demand for PIM solution from flourishing eCommerce industry and increasing need to offering enhanced customer services.“
