Defining Product Content Management Systems:

Most companies would define product content as simply the specifications about each of their product, costing and origin data. But for modern product content management systems, this data takes on a much more diversified purview. General information would include the SKU number, description, price, supplier details and high definition images of the item to represent it on different publishing channels.

Product content also encompasses information regarding marketing, sales, sourcing, customer support and feedback as well as different distribution channels. In short, for a management system, this data will include every bit of information generated from the origin of the product till the time it reaches into the hands of customers. This information is consistent and will prevail as the single version of the truth that will be used across all channels of communication with customers and market stakeholders.

An Insight on Using Product Content Management System:

The job of any product content management system is to make the information about every item on a company’s catalogue authentic, consistent, accurate and organized in a single, centrally managed repository. This requires the stored information to be versatile, comprehensive and easily presentable into varied formats to make it suitable for different channels including catalogues, brochures, price books, marketing materials, website data and digital content.

Every touch point where the customers will interact with the product data, whether directly or indirectly, the information being conveyed should be sourced from the central repository created by the PCM system. Users of this data will include suppliers, marketing teams, sales reps, web content managers, retailers, distributors, creative heads and even the customers. It is the job of the PCM system to ensure that every user and every channel broadcasts product data that is authentic, accurate and sourced from the centralized data bank.

The Primary Benefits of Product Content Management Centralization:

One might wonder about the real reason why centralization of product content management is important. These software usually cover both internal and external data, constantly monitoring different customer touch points and information channels for authenticity of data. The system gets used across the life-cycle of the product, ensuring that every stakeholder involved has access to the exact information needed in the format and presentation desired. This creates a streamlined flow of communication. Even customer support and ERP systems are benefitted by this centralization of data. This rich information then travels through all kinds of channels in an enhanced, aggregated, corrected, consistent and controlled way.

No modern manufacturing organization today can survive without using product content management systems for effective operations and customer communication. The times sure have changed!
