Advisory PIM - Utopis by ZeeBoer

An Advisory PIM goes beyond a standard PIM. In addition to managing individual product data, this type of system also supports configurations and compositions of multiple products and processes.

Specially for construction and technology

For companies in the construction and technology sector, an Advisory PIM offers significant advantages.

Efficiency in project preparation
Fewer errors and better quality
Faster sharing of advice and product data
Better cooperation with chain partners
Improved compliance with construction standards

What is an Advisory PIM?

In the world of Product Information Management (PIM), everything revolves around efficiently managing and distributing product and article data. Traditional PIM systems help companies keep their product information consistent across different channels, such as web shops, catalogues and ERP systems. But for complex sectors such as construction and technology, more is needed than just managing individual product data. This is where the Advisory PIM comes in.

An Advisory PIM goes further than a standard PIM. In addition to managing individual product data, this type of system also offers support for configurations and compositions of multiple products and processes. This means that suppliers and manufacturers can not only manage individual articles, but can also assemble and optimise complete systems and installations. This is particularly valuable in construction and technology, where products are often used in specific combinations and configurations.

How does an Advisory PIM work?

An Advisory PIM enables users to

Define modular product configurations, so that products can be processed in composite systems.

Include technical compatibility and specifications in the management of product information.

Generate recommendations based on defined rules and logic.

Create integrations with BIM (Building Information Modeling) and other technical platforms.

Practical example
For example, imagine a supplier of perimeter security, such as fencing. An Advisory PIM can not only manage the product information of a specific type of fence, but also configure the optimal combinations of associated posts, locks, access systems and foundation solutions based on technical and safety requirements. This ensures that customers can put together a complete and tailor-made security solution, tailored to their specific situation.

Compatibility with construction standards

A key feature of an Advisory PIM is its compatibility with construction standards and exchange formats such as ETIM, DICO, NL-SfB, STABU2 and RAW. By supporting these standards, manufacturers and suppliers can easily share data with construction partners, specification writers and software packages that use these formats. This ensures a streamlined exchange of product information and prevents errors in interpretation and processing.

For manufacturers who want to make their products and systems available for use in RAW and STABU2 specifications, an Advisory PIM offers an ideal solution. Thanks to the structured storage and linking of specifications, manufacturers can make their products immediately suitable for inclusion in specifications, giving contractors and architects easy access to the correct technical information. This not only increases the visibility of products in the market, but also ensures that specifications are applied in a standardised and correct manner in construction projects.

Conclusion

An Advisory PIM offers a revolution in how product information is managed within the construction and engineering sector. It not only enables suppliers to efficiently manage products, but also to configure and optimize complete systems and assemblies. In addition, the compatibility with construction standards and specification formats ensures that manufacturers can better position and integrate their products within construction projects. This makes it an indispensable tool for companies that provide technical solutions and want to better support their customers with smart, integrated product information.
