Press release: New strategic partnership with novomind for integral PIM solutions
by Veronika Altenbach
Allschwil / Hamburg, January 28, 2021 – Offering holistic solutions together – with this goal in mind, the Swiss company brix IT Solutions, a specialist in digital asset management (DAM), product information management (PIM), dynamic database publishing (DDP) and business process management (BPM), and novomind, the German developer of globally implementable omnichannel commerce and customer service software, have entered into a strategic partnership. Effective immediately, brix is expanding its portfolio to include the quality product data management system novomind iPIM.
For success and growth in omnichannel e-commerce, the centralization, preparation and management of product information and multimedia data, as well as their distribution to the various online sales channels, play an important role. A seamless integration of PIM and DAM systems along with the store system significantly improves performance.
novomind iPIM presents all internal and external product data processes comprehensively, clearly and always up to date, enabling efficient product range management, flexible structures and the targeted output of product information to all channels. The connection of novomind iPIM with DAM systems via interfaces enables companies to prepare content quickly and without system interruptions. Within novomind iPIM, a company not only has access to the relevant product information, but also to all the associated digital media at the same time.
Both brix and novomind are partners of the Austrian DAM software provider CELUM. The novomind Connector makes it easy to synchronize product information from novomind iPIM with current product assets (images, videos, documents) from the CELUM ContentHub. In addition to matching the information fields of product images, the product data structure from the novomind iPIM system is also transferred to the CELUM DAM system. Conversely, assigned digital assets can be transferred back into novomind iPIM in a variety of formats, enabling a two-way synchronization of all relevant product data.
In line with our best-of-breed approach, novomind iPIM fits perfectly into our product portfolio. It offers companies a holistic software solution for the efficient preparation of high-quality product content and consistent distribution to all desired channels.
With novomind as our partner, we will be able to react even more flexibly to constantly changing market requirements in the future.
With brix, we have gained an innovative and experienced partner with whom we are already successfully working together for Swiss companies such as Mammut.
Together, we offer our customers a complete solution for managing context-specific product data with maximum flexibility and the well-known Swiss precision.
