Having issues with your PIM/DAM solution?

Even if your company has invested in a PIM or DAM solution, it doesn't mean it is introduced throughout the organization without problems. Do any of these issues look familiar to you?
  • You have to work simultaneously in multiple tools
    (CMS, PIM, ERP)
  • Clients receive wrong information because of non-aligned data sources
  • Your team hesitates to use it because it is difficult to learn
  • Brand assets do not follow company guidelines
  • Translations are mixed up or don’t show at all
  • Prices and availability are off, not what you planned
  • PIM serves as a document repository, with no added value

Relax. It doesn't make your PIM/DAM project a failure. 

We can help you fall in love with your PIM/DAM-solution by maximising the value of your investment.

How to improve your PIM/DAM 

1. Map your system

Make sure all workflows and dataflows are defined and clear. This will make it easier to spot issues, painpoints and over-complications in order to define opportunities for improvement.

Once you see and understand the issues and challenges you are dealing with, you can start working to eliminate them. You will soon find room for improvement in every part of the system.

2. Audit your UX

Integrated systems serve the right content - sure - but your users can still drop off in the funnel. An expert UX Audit will uncover issues and obstacles - and provide you with the roadmap to solve them.

Auditing your UX will help you understand what information is missing, which solutions lack effectiveness, and what areas are hard to understand for your website visitors.

Some problems are more urgent that others. Some can be fixed with minor adjustments, while otherw require more time and resources. We will provide you with a clear list of priorities - based on impact/effort assessment - to optimise your ROI.

An example UX Audit looks like this:

3. Optimise the user journey

PIM/DAM's true value lies in the user’s experiences. To profit from SEO and paid marketing, your website has to display the correct information at the right time.

To uncover whether your website offers a good user experience, to identify pain points and possible solutions on how to improve them, we recommend mapping out the user journey. 

A User Journey Mapping will give you deep insights and help you understand the interaction between the user and your website. It will help you know how to present the right content in the right phase of the customer journey, in the right language, with the correct assets and product range.

Frontkom can provide you with expert advice on improving the bottlenecks and optimising for the best user flow. Align your team efforts and get shared understanding about problems to overcome and opportunities to improve to get the best out of using PIM/DAM.

A Consider phase of a User Journey Mapping may look like this:

Process automation saves thousands of hours per year and it’s implementation does not have to be complex. Get started by defining your most time-consuming processes and see how already implemented IT systems can work for you. We are happy to help. 

Why choose Frontkom for your PIM/DAM project?

We know how to handle complex projects in large organisations.  

It can be hard to see the outlines of IT-projects in large organisations. Who has control of all previous IT-systems, costs, pain points, needs, wishes and budgets?

These projects do not start over night, and a successful outcome depends on all circumstances and variables being taken into account when planning. 

Don't put yourself in a situation where you loose control. Our experience with large organisations will help you succeed with complex projects.  

Communicating with all teams and suppliers

Will other suppliers be involved in the project? Are many departments and decision-makers involved in the project? We want to communicate and cooperate with all of them! Thanks to thorough workshops and experienced business consultants, we will help you collect all your pains and needs into one coherent plan that will satisfy everyone.

Flexibility and preparation

Sometimes priorities change suddenly. Sometimes decisions are made slower than we expect. We are ready for this. The primary goal of the Agile approach in cooperation is to give you comfort that we will adapt to the ever-changing business landscape of your organization.

Delivering your goals

We aim to understand the business context and goals of your organization and your team. Frontkoms business consultants are not only responsible for understanding your goals, but also communicating them to the entire team involved in the project. Your whole PIM/DAM project approach and solution must respect and take into account your various business goals - this means technology choices, UI/UX, customer care and marketing and sales strategy.

Show the project value to your management

Obtaining a budget for important investments are sometimes hard. We help you calculate and target the ROI, present and explain business case and possible solutions, deliver input for your internal communication (i.e. data and success metrics).
