SPECIAL EDITION OF PIM REPORT – FOCUS ON PRICING

When dealing with Product Information Management, Pricing Management is one of the most oft-overlooked processes, yet pricing is one of the most critical customer data requirements to exchange between trading partners.  A complete PIM system comprises four key ‘Pillars’ – Part & Product Management, Pricing Management, Catalog & Publishing Management, and Data Synchronization.  This Special Edition of the PIM Report, timed in conjunction of the renewal of our long-standing relationship with the Professional Pricing Society, brings focus to important information involving pricing as an essential part of product information.

 Watch for our regular upcoming edition of the PIM Report – scheduled for October 9, 2007.  In it you will find the following informative articles:

• MAHLE Clevite Update:  PIM at AAPEX 

• AASA and the Customer e-Matrix

• PIM and Pricing - Rebate Management

• And more....

Thank you for continuing to read the Pricedex PIM Report – we are pleased to help contribute to the overall well-being of the industry, by providing timely and relevant articles related to PIM’s four pillars.  If there is a particular topic you would like to see covered in an upcoming edition, please don’t hesitate to submit your idea to us – and we’ll be glad to consider it.
