3. Omnichannel Publishing

This feature of AesirX PIM lets you automatically feed the appropriate product information to your digital channels such as e-commerce sites, websites and apps.

Linking with overseas markets and monitoring orders allows your business to go international and increase revenues. By establishing a presence on the online marketplaces, it also offers you a chance to expand customer networks. With just a single PIM dashboard, you can distribute AesirX PIM assets to Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, and other marketplaces.

Importantly, there is no coding involved in importing your product listing from your e-commerce site. Using one of our free plugins, you can integrate and sell your products on various marketplaces.

4. Price Management

This refers to the ability of managing different debtor groups and price levels depending on those groups. In general, a “debtor group” is a “customer type”. And AesirX PIM will have the ability to regulate the customer groups so they have different price levels (for example, “regular”, “wholesale”, “special” customers).

5. Frontend Customization (PWA)

AesirX PIM is designed to optimize frontend customization, which means you can develop highly extensible themes to suit your brand's identity.

Users can create their own designs for AesirX PIM thanks to full control, additional layers of themes & layouts, and a built-in compiler in the PWA. Also, you can adapt the theme to your client's brand identity or match the colors to any current brand identity.

This feature can be done via the admin interface or through code changes on SASS/J-avaScript. The JavaScript components are built with the help of React whereas all CSS files are powered by SASS.

6. Product Tagging

Product tags are used to identify products. They provide for a focused, limited product search to sort out products according to a certain feature. For instance, if you sell clothing and need to create tags for shoes, you can use words like "shoes," "sneakers," or "trainers."

You can create additional taxonomies and classifications for data stored in the PIM system. Your business can also manage this feature centrally within a tree structure by assigning to assets.

7. Collect and Enrich Product Information

Product enrichment involves completing information gaps for potential buyers to enhance sales. For online shoppers, digital media assets are essential. More information about the products allows customers to see multiple angles of those products and their variations. Due to a better view of the products, their urge to buy is likely to rise.

AesirX PIM offers more fundamental information like measurements, materials, and colors. Additionally, technical drawings, material data safety sheets, and specification papers can all be very helpful to clients seeking a product that complies with particular requirements. In general, PIM provides much-needed information for those considering a purchase.
