iPIM™

Intelligent Product Information Management

CollabraLink first developed Intelligent Product Information Manager™ (iPIM™) for a pharmaceutical company client. The application ensured that their entire enterprise worked from a single version of “product truth” containing current, accurate, and continually synchronized product information. Better product quality and manufacturing efficiency resulted.

The iPIM™ solution aggregates product data from ERP, CRM, spreadsheets or other databases, and other systems. All data is validated and synchronized, then managed for access by internal stakeholders throughout the enterprise. Product information can be exchanged with data pools and trading partners. They receive current, accurate and properly formatted data from iPIM™, and our solution synchronizes incoming data from their systems.

From a base of accurate and current product information, iPIM™ also delivers your product data-continuously synchronized and properly formatted-to data pools and trading partners.

• iPIM™ resides behind the firewall, and is a flexible, feature rich, comprehensive platform.
• It can serve as a reliable staging source for multiple applications in the future, such as RFID, CPFR, Spend Analysis, and other applications.
• Data mapping is easy with drag-and-drop integration of data models linked to product information sources.
• Establish a PIM repository that is a "single source of truth" for all your product information.
• Synchronize your product information externally with UCCnet, WWRE, Transora and other private data pools and multiple country-specific data pools.
• iPIM™ uses open, standards based data model and manages data as XML entities. It can validate data product attributes based on Global Data Dictionary (GDD), as well as data pool business rules, and support extended data pool schemas.
• iPIM™ user interfaces are intuitive, with simple navigation and easy-to-use icons. It makes building and packaging components easy for item hierarchy management. It also offers advanced search and filtering, auditing, and extensive reporting capabilities.
• Full support for event tracking and scheduled alerts.
• Add CollabraLink’s fully functional electronic business process exchange manager (iBPX™) for automation. The iBPX™ and iPIM™ solutions work seamlessly together to provide best-of-breed workflow technology. Together these platforms can automate best practices for a company’s production processes such as modification requests, order tracking, status changes, approval processes, and integration of workflow with trading partners.
