PIM Audit

Every retailer knows that inconsistent product descriptions are a nightmare. These inconsistencies could involve product descriptions that don't match across channels, outdated specifications, and the constant struggle to synchronize everything. In a time when consumers expect perfect information at their fingertips, these inconsistencies could hurt their experience with purchasing a product from you and your revenue. At Hamari, we've spent years helping businesses with PIM auditing. Our PIM Audit Service goes beyond simple data clean up. We dig deep into your existing processes, uncover the root causes of persistent issues, and build a foundation for lasting improvement.

What our Audit Delivers

Our audit service helps identify problems with your product data that you may have overlooked. Whether you're planning an expansion into new markets, launching an ambitious digital transformation, or simply tired of data quality problems, Hamari is here to help you through it all.

Here is our approach:

Improved Data Quality

We make sure to properly analyze your data for quality checks. But we don't stop there, we perform a systematic analysis of all your product information. Our tools scan for inconsistencies, duplications, and gaps across all your channels. Even better, we help you understand why these issues occur and how to prevent them from recurring.

Workflow Transformation

By shadowing your team and mapping your processes, we identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies that slow you down. We've seen how small changes in workflow can shave days off product launch times and dramatically reduce error rates.

System Performance Intelligence

Is your current PIM solution supporting or hindering your growth? We evaluate your system's performance against your business needs and industry benchmarks. Whether you need to optimize your existing setup or build a business case for an upgrade, we provide the data to support you.

Compliance & Governance Assessment

We evaluate your PIM environment against industry regulations and internal governance requirements. Our compliance framework identifies potential risks in product information management, data security protocols, and approval workflows. We deliver a comprehensive regulatory gap analysis with prioritized remediation recommendations that align with both legal requirements and business objectives.

Strategic Roadmap Development

Our consultant works with your stakeholders to develop a phased implementation plan with clear milestones, resource requirements, and expected ROI for each initiative.

Cross-Channel Consistency Analysis

We perform a comprehensive review of how your product information appears across all sales and marketing channels. Our tools compare product attributes, specifications, pricing, and digital assets between your e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, catalogs, and retailer portals. We identify inconsistencies that impact customer experience and buying decisions, measuring the severity of these problems against industry benchmarks before it gets too late.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Hamari's PIM Audit?

We're all about making your product info better across all your channels. We take a close look at how you're managing things now, spot where the issues are, and figure out why those problems keep happening. It's not just a quick fix – we aim to solve the root causes so you see lasting improvements.

How do you tackle workflow problems?

We work with your team to see how things really work day-to-day. This hands-on approach helps us identify exactly where things are getting stuck. You'd be surprised how much difference small changes can make – we've seen clients dramatically cut their product launch times and reduce errors just by tweaking a few workflow steps.

Will you check if our current PIM system is any good?

Of course! We'll compare your system against what others in your industry are using and see if it's really supporting what your business needs. If your system isn't keeping up with your growth, we'll tell you straight – and back it up with actual data. Sometimes optimization is all you need, but we'll let you know if an upgrade would serve you better.

How long does a typical PIM audit take to complete?

Our standard PIM audit typically takes 2-4 weeks to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your product catalog and the number of systems involved. The process includes initial discovery sessions, data extraction and analysis, workflow observations, system evaluations, and report preparation. For large enterprises with multiple brands or complex channel structures, the timeline may extend to 6 weeks. We'll provide you with a specific timeline during our initial consultation based on your unique requirements and constraints.
