style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All businesses exist because they sell a product or service. The problem is that there is always more than one company vying for customer attention. That is why businesses, no matter the designation, work tirelessly to develop strategies to sell as many products as possible.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Driving sales is often the ultimate goal of the strategies. According to an analysis by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jebbit.com\/blog\/the-vital-role-of-driving-sales-in-your-business\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jebbit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, focusing on increasing sales is vital to your business as it directly impacts revenue generation, fuels business growth, provides financial stability, drives customer acquisition and retention, helps you gain market share, and contributes to product improvement.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, businesses design and implement marketing campaigns to create awareness, generate leads, and nurture prospects. Conversely, sales teams utilize marketing collateral and messaging to close deals. Common among these functions is product data.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketers use product data to design campaigns that highlight product features and benefits, generating leads. The sales team then uses product data to address final queries and close the sale. Even post-sale, product data is used for customer support and feedback. Thus, accurate product data is key to marketing, sales, and customer satisfaction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, it comes as a surprise that most companies do not identify as data-driven, especially concerning product data. A<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/02\/companies-are-failing-in-their-efforts-to-become-data-driven\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harvard Business Review<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (HBR) analysis found that companies identifying themselves as data-driven have declined in each of the past few years despite increasing investment in big data and AI initiatives.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could the decline be due to businesses underestimating the value of data, especially product data? Such a scenario often leads to businesses struggling to use product data effectively. If you find yourself in such a scenario, this article is invaluable because it shows the tools to help you use product data effectively to drive sales.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74447977 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"74447977\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Understanding Product Data in the Industrial Sector\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-503ec776 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"503ec776\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is product data?\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3508f276 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3508f276\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product data is the collection of relevant and accurate information about a product. The information helps businesses and customers understand what the product does, enabling them to make informed decisions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the industrial sector, product data refers to products&#8217; technical and functional attributes. These attributes provide crucial details that support the product\u2019s design, production, delivery, and maintenance. The most important aspect of these attributes is that they can be read, measured, and structured into a usable format.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nature of industrial products means that the attributes vary significantly, and a single product might have thousands of them. This is the main reason why the information that describes a product is not the same throughout its lifecycle. For instance, the attributes that are relevant at the design and engineering stages may not be essential at the sales phase.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is important to note is that in the industrial context, product data supersedes basic details like name, price, and size.

These are customers who probably represent an organization and buy your product to fix a specific problem in their operations. Therefore, unlike individual consumers, industrial buyers never make impulsive purchasing decisions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers must make informed and efficient purchasing decisions based on accurate and current product data. This is because industrial buyers (often categorized under the B2B label) are often responsible for sourcing large quantities of materials, components, or equipment that are critical for their manufacturing processes, operations, or projects.

This happens when all kinds of data have become invaluable to business operations. We speculated that perhaps the driver of this trend is businesses underestimating the value of data. But what if the real culprit is that companies are unable to overcome the challenges of data management?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industrial brands must not only provide accurate and up-to-date product information but also ensure they are accessible across as many touchpoints as possible. This introduces the challenge of consistency\u2014customers prefer a seamless experience across touchpoints.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, brands must find a way to overcome the challenges. But they must know and understand them first.

This means they often have complex specifications, features, and usage requirements. These products are typically designed for specific, often specialized, applications and require a certain level of expertise to use effectively.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s illustrate this with power tools. Power tools often come with detailed technical specifications such as power output, speed (RPM), torque, voltage, and amperage. For example, a cordless drill might have a specification like \u201c20V MAX* 1\/2 in. Cordless Drill\/Driver Kit with a high-performance motor that delivers 300-unit watts out (UWO) of power.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tools also have specialized features designed for specific tasks. For example, a circular saw might have an adjustable bevel capacity for angled cuts, or a power drill might have a hammer function for drilling into concrete.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding user requirements, the tools may require specific safety equipment and procedures to operate safely. For example, users might need to wear safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when operating a power tool. They might also need to follow specific procedures to avoid injury, such as securing the workpiece with clamps and keeping their hands away from the cutting area.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, a single product has many attributes. Multiply this across hundreds of product variants and models, and the volume of technical data becomes overwhelming.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, industrial product specifications are often deeply nested in hierarchies, with top-level products containing numerous sub-assemblies and individual components\u2014each with its own set of attributes. Maintaining relationships and inheritance rules across this complex data structure presents a significant challenge.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The business suffers severe consequences if the complex product specifications are poorly managed, including:<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-634f5251 elementor-align-left elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"634f5251\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-circle\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Costly mistakes in manufacturing, procurement, and sales.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-circle\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Inefficient processes, leading to delays, missed deadlines, and increased costs.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-circle\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Lost sales opportunities and reduced revenue.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2614941b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2614941b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

Buyers span different industries, company sizes, and geographic regions. This diversity translates into a wide range of specific requirements and use cases that the product data must address.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, a manufacturer of industrial sensors may sell the same product line to automotive companies, oil and gas firms, and food processing plants. However, each of these customer segments likely has distinct priorities and criteria they use to evaluate the sensors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automotive companies may prioritize sensor accuracy and durability for harsh environments, while food processors may be more concerned with sanitary design and compliance with food safety regulations. On the other hand, oil and gas customers may heavily weigh hazardous area certifications and temperature\/pressure ratings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capturing and organizing this nuanced product data to serve different customer needs is a significant challenge. Simply having a broad set of specifications is insufficient \u2013 the data must be tailored, contextual, and easily discoverable based on each customer&#8217;s unique requirements.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, customers often use different terminology and jargon specific to their industries.

That is why manufacturers are obligated to ensure a safe environment when their products are in use. This explains the many and wide-ranging regulations and compliance standards subjected to industrial products. So, industrial brands must ensure that product data reflects the requirements.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the product category, there may be mandatory regulations around product safety, environmental impact, import\/export, hazardous materials, and more. For example, industrial chemicals must comply with<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/environment.ec.europa.eu\/topics\/chemicals\/reach-regulation_en\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">REACH regulations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the EU, while electrical equipment sold in North America requires certifications like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ul.com\/services\/certification\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UL<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csagroup.org\/testing-certification\/certification\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CSA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond mandatory regulations, there are also voluntary standards and certifications that industrial buyers often require, such as ISO, ANSI, ATEX, and industry-specific credentials. Manufacturers must capture this compliance data for their products.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge is that regulations and standards constantly evolve across different jurisdictions. So, industrial brands must have processes and tools to monitor changes and update product data accordingly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, complex supply chains and product variants exacerbate this challenge. A single component sourced from a different supplier could alter the product&#8217;s compliance status. Managing this matrix of regulatory data across multi-level product hierarchies is a demanding task.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no way around the regulatory requirements, and the consequences of non-compliance can be punitive.

This data must also be credible and complete, that is, of the highest quality.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the sheer volume and complexity of product data that industrial companies deal with complicate the quest for quality. As discussed earlier, technical specifications, material compositions, regulatory certifications, and other product attributes can number in the hundreds or even thousands of data points.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without specialized tools, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of this data across multiple systems and sales channels is error-prone and onerous. Even small discrepancies, like a mistyped product dimension or an outdated compatibility note, can lead to significant issues downstream.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor impacting data quality is the involvement of multiple stakeholders in the product data lifecycle. For instance, product managers, engineers, quality teams, marketers, and sales teams all interact with and potentially modify product data.

However, this makes it a prime target for cyberattacks. Besides cyberattacks, internal threats, such as unintentional or malicious actions by employees, can also compromise data integrity and security. For instance, experienced team members may accidentally alter critical product details, or an intern could inadvertently delete the master file.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands must work hard to protect the data from unauthorized access, theft, and misuse, but it is not easy work. They must institute robust data security measures, including access controls, encryption, and regular security audits.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, brands must also ensure data privacy and comply with data protection regulations, such as GDPR. Balancing data accessibility for authorized users with stringent security measures is a challenging task that requires careful planning and implementation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each of the challenges addressed has a direct impact on sales. The challenges also make it evident that effective product data management is critical yet problematic for industrial brands.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attempting to manage such product data using spreadsheets and basic digital tools is inefficient and risky.

This enrichment capability allows a PIM to make product information customer-facing. This means it provides sufficient details for customers to pick your items when evaluating options.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, a PIM allows users to automate critical workflows and processes, including data validation, approval, and publishing.

This explains the name digital asset management, or DAM, in short.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the files you\u2019ll find in the DAM\u2019s repository include product images, videos, manuals, compliance certificates, etc. These files and documents are essential for creating engaging and informative product experiences for customers. DAM software allows users to easily access, enrich, share, and distribute digital assets across different channels and platforms.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An industrial brand that sells machinery parts can provide an example of how DAM and PIM software differ. The brand needs to provide its customers with both textual and visual information about its products. The textual information, such as the dimensions, weight, material, and features of the parts, can be stored and managed by PIM software. The visual information, such as photos, videos, diagrams, and instructions for the parts, can be stored and managed by DAM software.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5462f6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5462f6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why a unified PIM and DAM is the best configuration for product data management\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e5db55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1e5db55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, brands acquire a PIM and DAM separately because most vendors offer them that way.
