Answer
A specialised PIM makes sense when many products, variants, languages, attributes, media and sales channels have to be systematically enriched and published. It offers sophisticated data models, quality rules and channel control for this. An ERP, by contrast, often remains the commercial source. schukai Workspace can map tasks, completeness, approvals and selected product data, or integrate an existing PIM into the work process.
The decision depends less on a fixed number of items than on complexity and maintenance effort. A thousand technically demanding products can be harder than ten thousand similar ones. schukai does not sell its own product as a blanket PIM replacement. First, variants, responsibilities, output channels and existing systems are reviewed. After that, it is possible to decide whether a specialised PIM, Workspace, Shopcloud or a limited custom solution is the right fit.
