The process of importing and exporting product data between systems and platforms.
What is Product Import/Export? (Definition)
Product import/export is the process of moving product data between different software systems. Product import means bringing data into a PIM system from sources like suppliers or spreadsheets. Product export means sending that data from the PIM to sales channels like webshops and marketplaces. These processes keep product details accurate and consistent across all your platforms. WISEPIM automates these transfers to save time and reduce manual errors. This ensures customers always see the correct information wherever they shop.
