Product information management (PIM) data model

Visual data modeling

To design PIM data models, we utilize a web-based and intuitive data molding tool. Our PIM developers create product master data models that are easy to configure with a graphical user interface. We allow brands to create product data models on their own with zero coding skills.

Credencys integrates 40+ high-performance data input components that easily handle thousands of attributes of each product. Leveraging the product data modeling capabilities of Pimcore, we build excellent operational and analytical PIM and MDM solutions.

Multi-domain support

We build PIM data models that support multi-domain data. We integrate product data with customer data to help clients achieve extraordinary outputs. The product data models are flexible so when the brands want to extend it for creating entirely new product entities or existing attributes, they can easily extend it.

Our PIM experts build PIM solutions with advanced product information management data models that automatically store all the data in relational SQL databases and deliver a magical experience for enterprise data management.

Powerful data model

Integrating the product information management data models, we create a data management powerhouse for the organizations that allow building relation between any number of product data and managing them effectively.

Creating and implementing out-of-the-box product data models, we facilitate brands to design scalable and flexible product data models. Most importantly, the product master data models developed by Credencys can easily be imported or exported anytime for data sharing and data reuse.

Multi-lingual data management

We excel in creating product information management data models that allow brands to perform data translation and editing work in any number of languages. We have deployed powerful PIM solutions that store and manage the data in almost 100+ different languages. We integrate product data models that allow for faster data editing and intuitive translation interfaces to simplify the product data management tasks for global sales and marketing teams.

Intelligent data relations

Credencys establish intelligent data relations amongst different data sets. Leverage flexibility to connect your product data with any media file, relevant product category or family, etc. Make required changes and edits in the product data in real-time.

We develop powerful build blocks with the right mixture of object relations, advanced concepts for field collections, and object bricks. We ensure deploying the scalable flexible PIM data models throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Classification standards

While developing product data models, our PIM experts consider integrating features like handling media fields, text, data relationships, static attributes, and more. Implementing a classification store, we enable brands with an enhanced classification system and allow the companies to add value/key data attributes to your data.

We help organizations to create structure assignments for product data based on industry-specific classification systems with enterprise-grade PIM.

Hierarchy management

We build product data models that support dynamic multi-level hierarchies. We help brands to create and manage product data under a specific and relevant product group. Brands are allowed to define all the SKUs/items having common characteristics through parent-child taxonomy. We have proven expertise in creating multiple hierarchy trees with zero data duplication. It improves product time to market and streamlines editorial processes.

Product variant support

Implementing the right PIM data modeling we support companies to manage millions of product data in a centralized repository effectively. If each of your products has hundreds of variants, we create product data models to simplify product information management for you. To enable you with a clear view of your product variant data, we offer product paging, hiding of columns, filtering, visualizing the inherited values, and more. It makes marketers’ life way easier.

Digital Asset Management

Under product information management, we not only manage product-related text and attributes. We also manage millions of unstructured data such as product videos, documents, images, and more. This data needs to be connected with the products and classified too.

We build a DAM that allows you to auto-convert raw photo and video files for your product catalogs, webshops, and online marketplaces. Thus, we ensure the integration of a full-featured DAM system for you.

Conceptual PIM data models

Credencys creates conceptual PIM master data models where product data layout and rules of data relationships are set. The predefined rules are applied over the categories or entity classes of product data that companies want to consider. We allow companies to consider other regulations to limit layout options. It is the most abstract and simple product data model and we usually create this model while defining the product.

Logical PIM data models

In the conceptual data model, we define the product range with some basic data. We expand the concept data model in a logical product data model by adding the relational factors. There are some basic annotations related to product data attributes or overall properties. This model is useful to manage product information related to the warehouse.

Physical PIM data models

The next stage after the physical data model creation is entering the product data as per the defined product information management data models. Creating physical data models, we allow users to manage product information with specific properties and rules. We allow you to insert each essential product detail and establish relationships to create a schema in order to create a blueprint with all the needed product information.

Hierarchical PIM data model

Credencys excels in creating hierarchical data models. It looks like a family tree. Businesses can manage product data entities in the “parents” or ”children” sequence and branch off from other data that share a relationship with product data. By storing the product data through hierarchical data models, we describe many real-world relationships.

Relational PIM data models

The relational data model is quite similar to the hierarchical data model. The basic difference between these two models is instead of the parent-child relationship, the relational data model focuses on mapping out the connections among various tables of data. Implementing the relational product data models, we establish different types of relationships between the product data including one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many.

Entity-Relationship PIM data model

Under the entity-relationship data model, we showcase product data entities and design a diagram to present how they are connected to each other. We often use this data model with relational data models for a better understanding of how your data should connect in a database. It captures the relationships between real-world product entities and is often used for creating a database conceptually.

Object-oriented PIM data model

Creating the object-oriented data model, we simplify the complicated real-world data by grouping entities into class hierarchies. We utilize object-oriented data modeling at the early stages of product data management. Credencys has proven expertise in implementing object-oriented product data models for multimedia databases to incorporate multimedia files and hypertext databases to link any object to any other object.

Object-relational product data modeling

It is a hybrid product information management data model that combines the advanced functionality of object-oriented data models with the simplicity of the relational product data modeling. Utilizing the object-relational PIM data model, our PIM experts integrate objects into familiar table structures. Under this model, we use the extensions of interfaces and languages.

Network product data model

We create network data models on the basis of a hierarchical data model using many-to-many relationships between linked records and implying multiple parents records. Credencys builds product data models that are constructed with sets of related records. Each set consists of a parent record or one or more child records. The model allows for the creation of a record of a parent or child in multiple sets to represent the complex relationships in a simple way.

Consultation

Credencys offers consultation for creating the right product information management data modeling and integrating it in the product information management platform. To create the product data models, we need to understand the products and related attributes, SKUs, and many other details and define the required number of data models.

Discovery workshop

After defining the required number of product data models, we create blueprints of each model to get better clarity on how each model works and contribute to making the product information management process streamlined and automated. We also define the roadmap for product data model creation and integration in this phase.

Development

Our PIM experts create the PIM data models that manage product data and establish a seamless relation across the relevant data. When the end-customers search for certain products, they not only get the product information but also get information about all the relevant aspects of the same products like media files, documents, etc.

Integration

Once we are done with creating the product data models, we integrate them in a product information management solution. We make sure all the PIM master data models work seamlessly and in a flow to manage the high-quality product data and generate the right output to provide the customers with relevant and accurate product information for their searched products.

Testing

After the product data model development and integration, we apply manual and automated testing for models. We perform stress and functional testing for the product information management data model. Stress testing reduces product master data model downtime and functional testing improves the performance of the PIM data model.

Implementation

Implementation of PIM master data models comes after the development and testing part is done. We deploy the product data models in the PIM solutions or in the client’s preferred digital platform. We make sure the implemented product data models work flawlessly in the expected technical environment.

Support & maintenance

Credencys offers on-demand support and maintenance services for all its technical development. Under support services, we provide bug fixing and data model enhancement. We also take care of product data models that operate efficiently in the expected technical environment. When it comes to maintenance services, we make sure the PIM data models work seamlessly on an ongoing basis.
