03 Dec PIM Pricing for Retailers: What Really Drives the Cost
Understanding the Real Cost Factors Behind PIM Solutions
Retailers depend on accurate, enriched product data to drive online sales, yet poor information still causes nearly 30% of lost revenue. While PIM can solve this, most retailers struggle to understand what a PIM truly costs.
Core cost drivers include: catalog size, number of users, required integrations, data volume, and the level of customization needed. SaaS PIMs offer predictable subscription fees and lower maintenance. Open-source or on-premise systems provide more flexibility but come with higher internal hosting, support, and upgrade costs.
Beyond the license fee, retailers must budget for implementation, data migration, training, ongoing operations, scaling needs, and potential hidden charges.
Choosing the right PIM requires comparing total cost of ownership. Not just the initial price.
