PIM migration

Migrate your catalog to WISEPIM The old system stays running

Export from Akeneo, Plytix, Pimcore, Salsify or a spreadsheet; AI proposes the field mapping and validation runs before you switch anything off.

  • CSV, Excel and API sources
  • Validation before cutover

Key features

  • Map your old model onto ours

    AI proposes a WISEPIM field for every source attribute, and you confirm the rows it was unsure about.

  • Keep the PIM, add the AI

    Connect WISEPIM to your existing PIM or ERP and use it only for enrichment and translation.

  • Cut over when you decide

    Run both systems side by side and move channel by channel; nothing forces a single switch-off date.

Two routes

Replace your PIM or run both

Both routes use the same importer and the same field mapping. The difference is whether your old system stays the source of truth.

  • Full migration

    WISEPIM becomes the catalog. Products, attributes, families, media and channel connections all move across.

  • Hybrid integration

    Your PIM stays the source of truth and WISEPIM syncs products in and enriched content back out.

How it works

Three steps to a working catalog

Import, confirm the mapping, reconnect the channels. Nothing is switched off until you have looked at what arrived.

  1. 01

    Export and upload

    Bring the catalog in from CSV, Excel, an API, or a direct connection to your existing PIM.

    The source data is in WISEPIM; your current PIM is untouched and still serving your channels.

  2. 02

    Confirm the field mapping

    AI proposes a WISEPIM field for each source attribute. Review the rows, adjust the ones it guessed at, and save.

    The mapping is stored, so a second export from the same system imports without re-mapping.

  3. 03

    Reconnect the channels

    Point Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and the rest at WISEPIM, one at a time, and publish when each looks right.

    You control the cutover date per channel instead of scheduling one big switch.

Before you switch anything off

See what the export left behind

Quality Guard runs your rules over the migrated catalog and quarantines what fails, so a gap surfaces here rather than on a channel.

  • Rules you write, not defaults

    Required fields, formats, length limits and identifier checks are your own, so validation matches what your channels actually reject.

  • Quarantine instead of block

    A product that fails is held for review; the rest of the migration carries on rather than stopping on the first bad row.

  • Compare against the old system

    The quarantine list is what to check in your current PIM before you turn it off, field by field.

Quality Guard after a migration: each rule is a check the imported products have to pass before a channel ever sees them.

Browser extension

Import what your old PIM missed

A migration is also the moment to close the gaps: supplier portals, brand sites and marketplace listings your previous system never covered. The WISEPIM extension imports those from the tab you already have open, so you are not waiting on a feed that does not exist.

  • Works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox, plus Chromium browsers like Brave and Arc
  • Captures one product or a full category page, with images, specs and the source URL
  • Reaches supplier and brand sites that turn away server-side scrapers
  • Imports land in the same project you are migrating into, next to the rest of your catalog

Works with Your Existing Setup

No need to replace your current tools. WISEPIM sits as a smart AI layer on top of your existing PIM (like Akeneo or Pimcore), ERP, or custom database. We build custom connections on request so enriched, ready-to-publish product data flows straight to where you need it.

It depends on catalog size, how many channels have to be reconnected, and how far the source model sits from ours; the estimator on this page gives a number for your inputs and prints the assumptions behind it. Field mapping is proposed for you, so the manual work is review rather than data entry. The figure is an estimate, not a quote.

Yes, as long as it can export. WISEPIM accepts CSV, Excel and API, so Akeneo, Plytix, Pimcore, Salsify, Sales Layer and plain spreadsheets all work, and AI proposes the mapping onto our data model. There is no database-to-database connector: the source has to produce a file or an endpoint.

Your old system keeps its copy, and nothing is deleted there. On our side, validation runs over the imported catalog and quarantines the products that fail your rules, so you can compare them against the source before switching anything off. Fields your export never included cannot be recovered afterwards; re-export them and run the import again.

Yes, each channel is connected once to WISEPIM. Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and the other supported platforms have direct integrations, and you can move them one at a time instead of switching everything on the same day.

Yes. Start hybrid: connect WISEPIM to your existing PIM and use it only for enrichment and translation, with the old system still the source of truth. Moving to a full migration later reuses the same connection and the same field mapping.
