A successful PIM implementation requires clear structures, a well thought-out strategy and a planned approach. With forbeyond, you benefit from a tried-and-tested methodology that covers all key project phases and is based on proven best practices.
Strategy
We start by analyzing your business model, corporate environment and existing processes in order to develop a sound strategy. Together, we define goals and develop a medium to long-term implementation plan that optimally integrates the PIM introduction into your corporate strategy.
ACTUAL analysis
We examine the maturity level of existing processes, the product life cycle and organizational structures. Through workshops and analyses, we identify optimization potential and develop an end-to-end IT architecture that seamlessly integrates the future PIM system.
PIM design
Based on the analysis, we create a PIM design with a structured database, clear workflows and a flexible, future-proof IT architecture. A harmonized data model ensures consistent product information. Efficient processes optimize data maintenance and distribution.
Software selection & planning
We guide you through the selection process with a gap analysis to match requirements with software options. A step-by-step introduction is carried out using modular building blocks that guarantee flexibility. A roadmap defines the structured path to successful implementation.
Program and project management
Clearly structured project management ensures that everything runs smoothly. We define roles and responsibilities, involve relevant stakeholders and, if necessary, take on key positions in order to manage the project efficiently and identify challenges at an early stage.
Change management
The introduction of a PIM system entails changes. Targeted communication promotes acceptance among employees, workshops and training courses impart the necessary knowledge, and active support during the change process minimizes resistance and facilitates the transition.

The market for PIM software is broadly diversified - from cost-optimized open source solutions to enterprise systems for complex requirements. Together we analyze factors such as:
- Number of products and data complexity,
- integration into existing systems (ERP, CMS, DAM),
- future growth.
We ensure that we create a future-proof PIM ecosystem that not only meets your current requirements, but is also flexible enough to accommodate future developments and company goals.
