Product information management (PIM): the engine of modern e-commerce

In today’s global marketplace, your product data is just as important as the product itself. For businesses in Switzerland and across Europe, the challenge isn't just selling a product-it's managing the massive amounts of information that come with it. This is where a Product Information Management (PIM) system becomes essential.

What is a PIM system?

A PIM system is a centralized platform designed to collect, manage, and enrich your product information. It creates a "Single Source of Truth," ensuring that every department-from marketing to sales-accesses the exact same data.

Why PIM is invaluable for your business

  • Consistency across channels: ensure that your product descriptions, technical specs, and prices are identical on your webshop, Amazon, and printed catalogs.
  • Faster time-to-market: launch new products in days instead of weeks by automating the data entry and distribution process.
  • Reduced returns: accurate and detailed product information helps customers make better buying decisions, significantly lowering return rates.
  • Scalability: a PIM allows you to manage thousands of SKUs and expand into new markets (like France, Italy, or Germany) without increasing your administrative overhead.

Why xyxle offers the best PIM solution in Switzerland

1. Built for the swiss market (multilingual & multi-currency)

Operating in Switzerland means managing at least three national languages and the Swiss Franc (CHF). xyxle is built from the ground up to handle multi-lingual content management natively, ensuring that your French, Italian, and German product data is always synchronized.

2. Deep integration with swiss standards (GS1 GDSN)

xyxle stands out because of its seamless connection to GS1 GDSN data pools. For Swiss retailers and producers, this means your product data can be shared with major partners like Migros and Coop at the touch of a button, ensuring 100% compliance with local retail standards.

3. AI-driven efficiency

xyxle doesn't just store data; it optimizes it. Using advanced AI-powered auto-tagging, the system can automatically categorize products and generate descriptions, allowing your team to focus on strategy rather than manual data entry.

4. Future-proof: the digital product passport (DPP)

As european regulations evolve, xyxle is already prepared for the 2026 Digital Product Passport requirements. Our platform allows you to track and display sustainability data and supply chain transparency, keeping you ahead of legal mandates in the EU and Switzerland.

5. Local expertise, global reach

Choosing xyxle means working with a partner who understands the Swiss business landscape-from local VAT regulations to specific labeling requirements-while providing a platform powerful enough to support your global export ambitions.
