Stibo Systems STEP is a serious enterprise MDM platform — and a multi-year, multi-million implementation. If you don't actually need MDM across customer, supplier, and asset domains, WISEPIM gives you a focused PIM with AI in a fraction of the time.
Stibo Systems is for an 18-month enterprise programme. WISEPIM ships this quarter.
WISEPIM is live in days. Stibo STEP implementations regularly run 12–18 months with system integrators before the first SKU enters production.
WISEPIM generates content and translations with AI from day one. Stibo's enrichment power is built around configurable workflows and integrators — capable, but every step is implementation work.
Mid-market WISEPIM customers pay in the low thousands per year. Stibo STEP TCO commonly runs €500k–€5M+ when license, infrastructure, and integration work are added together.
Stibo is multi-domain MDM (product, customer, supplier, location, asset). That's the right tool when you actually need cross-domain mastering. If product is the only domain you care about, WISEPIM is purpose-built for it and ships with the workflow already in place.

Choose Stibo Systems if your real requirement is multi-domain MDM across product, customer, supplier, and location, you have a system integrator engaged for an 12–18 month rollout, and your TCO is allocated in the seven figures.
Choose WISEPIM if you only need PIM (product information), you want AI-generated content and translations from day one, and you'd rather ship in this quarter on a transparent per-SKU price than commit to an enterprise programme.
Yes for product-content scope: SOC2-track controls, role-based governance, full audit trails, EU hosting, and per-customer success management. WISEPIM is not multi-domain MDM — if your enterprise specifically needs to master customer, supplier, and product in one platform, Stibo or a comparable MDM is a better fit.
Export the product objects, classifications, and assets from STEP via REST API or batch export. Map STEP attribute groups to WISEPIM's family/attribute model. Most product fields translate cleanly; cross-domain links (to customer/supplier records) stay in STEP if you keep it as the master for those domains. Migrations typically run 4–8 weeks for non-trivial catalogs.
Yes — this is one of the fastest ways to add AI to an existing Stibo investment. Stibo stays the system of record for master data; WISEPIM consumes the product slice via API, runs AI enrichment and translations, and pushes enriched content back or directly to channels. You add value without disturbing the MDM programme.
Most of the cost isn't license — it's implementation. STEP is a configurable platform that an SI partner tailors to your data model, workflows, and integrations. Add infrastructure, training, ongoing change requests, and Stibo Connect modules and most production deployments land in the seven figures over the first three years.
