When businesses need PIM, they often want to jump right in. Implement faster. See value sooner. We get it—the sooner, the better.  

But success requires thoughtful strategy. If you skip the pre-work, your data may not flow as intended. Adoption may be low. You may not be able to scale. You could lose stakeholder support. 

Most businesses don’t have the internal resources to fully prepare—putting together the right people, processes, and technology. That’s where Ntara PIM consulting comes in. Whether this is your first time implementing PIM or you’re due for an upgrade, we can help you establish an overarching PIM strategy and act as your guide for as long as needed. 

PIM helps scale businesses into more channels, faster.

Product data audit

Your product data must be complete and consistent everywhere it appears to generate buyer trust across channels. To get there, our product data audit framework identifies any gaps and inconsistencies in your data. Using this analysis, we work in tandem to cleanse your data using a mix of automated scripts and input from subject matter experts. 

Learn more about our approach to the product data audit.

Product data lifecycle mapping

To optimize your product data flows, we need to know how your current systems are configured and integrated. We work with your product experts to identify which systems are used for what purposes. We create a single product data lifecycle map, which serves as a visual roadmap for process optimization.  

This process helps identify product system duplication, technology gaps, and opportunities for automation. It is typically conducted as part of a larger PIM analysis and provides great context for budget decision-making. It’s also an excellent standalone project if you want to better understand your product data flows.

Product data governance

The success of your PIM practice hinges on effective product data governance. You need standardized processes and a cross-functional team of people to “own” data governance and ensure processes are followed. 

Our team analyzes your use cases to create guiding documentation. We learn about your business and recommend who should serve on your data governance committee. By the end of this engagement, you’ll have the infrastructure needed to secure product data quality internally and across all channels.
