Our one-stop destination for anything that we desire to know is the “Google” search bar. Isn’t it? The easy-breezy search bar looks simpler but what lies inside is a complex algorithm giving you results in a mere 0.23 seconds. Google’s search page is tagged as the one landing page for getting answers to user queries, gathering information, or maybe looking for another website. We trust Google’s search results because: -the time taken to display the results is extremely fast  -the results are highly optimized -it indexes the websites to show…

But ecommerce teams struggle to keep track of the who, what and when as product content continues to evolve.  Unbxd is excited to announce the launch of Activity Logs for Unbxd PIM, the latest feature that helps…

When brands have huge product catalogs, product teams have to deal with enormous volumes of product data. When product data is maintained in spreadsheets or documents, manually correcting and/or updating huge volumes of data requires a lot of work.

Unbxd PIM: Solving the collaboration challenge

Managing roles for team members, creating and assigning tasks are essential functions of product data management. Also, as we saw with imports, collaborating with external  stakeholders creates additional challenges for role and task management,…

Unbxd PIM: Solving the product data imports challenge

Navaneeth Suresh 0 comment

This raw product data needs to be put through the wringer of a PIM tool before it can find its place on product listing pages on ecommerce sites. Take for example a global sportswear brand that makes kits for international football competitions and gets its product inventory from suppliers in Tirupur, a small industrial town in the south of India. Or a computer brand that sources storage components from Thailand, display panels from South…
