Product information is required by almost every person or system in your organization. Your catalog requires a photo, a description, pricing, and SKU. The ecommerce site may require the same information as well as a video. Your contact center, merchandising system, point-of-sale, and other internal and vendor systems each have specific product information requirements. Updating individual systems istime consuming and error-prone. What is the alternative? Use MICROS-Retail Product Information Manager (PIM), a single repository that consolidates all of the product information and images.

MICROS-Retail Product Information Manager updates every interfaced system automatically, improving data quality and eliminating opportunities for error. Since authorized users enter product information only once and maintain it centrally, workflow improves in all aspects of your business. Benefits include:

• Easy-to-use browser-based interface helps your staff work quickly and accurately
• Make products and brands memorable by presenting them consistently in all channels
• Improve productivity by eliminating redundant data entry
• Avoid operational errors caused by obsolete information
• Increase sales by reducing time to market for new products

Easy to use interface

MICROS-Retail Product Information Manager uses a browser-based interface. You can quickly create and edit product profiles by direct import, dragging and dropping, cutting and pasting, or keying in information. The record accepts a variety of image and movie file formats. Since it is so simple to use, authorized users can complete their tasks quickly.

Increase productivity by managing product information

The proliferation of software solutions across the enterprise has lead many retailers to maintain multiple databases of product information. This practice virtually ensures that some systems will use out-of-date information. Updating and correcting multiple databases is a continuous drain of staff time and skills.

The PIM repository provides the structure you need to maintain data integrity, but it is also flexible enough to conform to your company’s unique needs. MICROS-Retail Product Information Manager, with its configurable user interface, relieves your staff of unproductive work. Furthermore, the solution automatically updates all interfaced systems. Whether it’s a change in product characteristics that affects your advertising copy, a change in dimension that affects your warehousing and fulfillment, or an end-of-availability date that affects reorders from all channels, having a single repository for data produces measurable gains in productivity and profitability.
