Ergonode PIM Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most is the user-friendly interface and the speed of information retrieval. In sales, we need to answer customer questions instantly. Ergonode allows our team to find detailed product attributes like specific material layers or warranty info without digging through old PDFs or separate spreadsheets. The multi-channel distribution is also a huge plus; I know that the specs my team sees in the showroom match exactly what is on our website, which prevents any customer confusion.

While the system is quite modern, the bulk export options did take us a little while to get the hang of. Occasionally, when we are trying to fetch our own price lists for seasonal sales, the filtering options can be a little too techie for our tastes. I would also like to see a better mobile app integration so that our floor sales team could more easily access the entire PIM database on their tablets during a customer consultation.

As someone who manages product development, I really enjoy the Kanban process. It helps me see, from start to finish, where a new art collection is in terms of attribute entry to final asset enrichment. The Excel spreadsheet view makes it a pleasure to edit hundreds of SKUs at once. As a company like Americanflat, where we have a high volume of artist-curated products, it's crucial to have a user interface that doesn't look like a legacy database system to get the team to adopt it.

The setup process for complex attribute mapping can be pretty time-consuming. Although the software is very flexible, it takes a good technical plan to get your data model just right for a retail setting. I would also like to see more advanced reporting capabilities for catalog completeness; as it stands, being able to see which products are market-ready in different regions could be even more automated.

The most impressive aspect of Ergonode is its ability to break down complex product information into an intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface. In experiential marketing, we are often on the go, and I personally need to access reliable product information or asset links in a timely manner for pop-up marketing or influencer activations. The multi-channel management is seamless; knowing that our technical product information is all centralized and consistent across every single touchpoint gives me the confidence that our brand story is always intact, no matter where the consumer meets us.

The initial learning curve for advanced filtering and custom attribute development can be a bit tricky for some of my team members who aren’t necessarily data-driven. While the interface is sleek and modern, some of the more advanced configuration options do take a considerable amount of time to learn. I would also personally like to see more mobile-optimized functionality specifically for the dashboard, as my personal job function sometimes requires me to check product statuses on-site at events.

The flexibility of the data model is what I think is most impressive. In sustainable fashion, we're not only tracking SKUs, but we're also tracking fabric lineage, washing instructions, and sustainability certifications. Ergonode allows us to create our own templates that address these specific needs without appearing cluttered. The Kanban board is another aspect of Ergonode that I am very impressed with it allows our development team to view very clearly which collections are currently in the enrichment phase and which are ready to go live, and this has had a huge impact on our interdepartmental handoffs.

The initial setup process of setting up attributes can be somewhat technical and time-consuming. While the software is very user-friendly once set up, there is some heavy lifting involved in getting to that perfect point. I would also like to see more advanced reporting features that could help us analyze the completeness of our sustainability data at a glance for entire collections, rather than having to view it for individual segments.

The most impressive aspect is the human-centric user interface. As a CPO, I appreciate products that my team actually enjoys using. The Excel spreadsheet view and Kanban boards in Ergonode have made product data enrichment a breeze for my non-technical team members. The API-first design is also a significant advantage, as it enables us to integrate with our existing marketing infrastructure seamlessly, ensuring that our product narratives and digital assets are always consistent across every marketing channel we manage.

While the product is very robust, the initial backend configuration and attribute mapping did require a tad more technical expertise than we expected upfront. Additionally, I would love to see more sophisticated out-of-the-box reporting and analytics capabilities. At present, certain high-level data points require a bit of custom configuration to get what we need for executive reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most is the approval workflow that details all changes and fixes needed to be deployed per product updates. Before Ergonode, we were using many spreadsheets and shared drives to manage product data which resulted in messy versioning and unclar approvals. We can now assign statuses, move items through review stages and keep marketing and merchandising all in one place. It is simple enough for non-technical people like our content team to learn quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up advanced custom attributes took longer than expected, especially with trying to get these to be product family specific. Although its flexible, you must plan your framework carefully in advance. We need more innovative templates for complicated catalogs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial Ease of Setup: more backend IT than we expected. Core functionality is great, but some advanced Analytics reports we desired did need tailored set-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Strategic Fit: Ergonode is not a piece of software but rather represents the organised, responsible future we want to see in the world. The Data Quality and Compliance features emulate the transparency we expect from industry.

Clarity: The clarity of the platform is crucial when working with a complicated and sometimes foggy subject like sustainability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial cost and implementation as a non-profit strategic organization represented a significant investment that took a fair amount of justification to our board, despite the strategic value being evident. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Ease of Use is outstanding; it's a package that promotes the creative process rather than making you feel like pushing bricks together. The Digital Assets are easily accessible via product stories, so you can find the ideal campaign imagery with minimal effort. We know the speed of fashion marketing and they have been a great companion that never failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wiring the archival products with their content-rich stories, an initial effort to backfill years of iconic archival products proved massive. We collaborated with our designs and heritage team in depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of Use is pretty incredible. Its visual interface is just so easy for creative to jump on and know what they are looking at/for without having ever been trained. Digital Assets management has been a game changer in keeping all our files organized and linked to the appropriate client and service. The Customer Support was great when we first got started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most challenging part was connecting the existing thousands of legacy assets to our library. We needed to spread it out over a period of several months. The system gets along great with it, but the initial import for a creative agency sitting on so much back log is its own process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
