What Is a PIM Workflow?
A PIM workflow is the set of steps, roles and rules a product goes through inside your PIM: data comes in, teams enrich it, someone approves it, and it is published to channels. Good workflows make sure nothing goes live incomplete, and that every task lands with the right person.
Onboarding
Supplier and ERP data imported and checked.
Enrichment
Content, attributes, images and translations added.
Review and Approval
Product, legal or brand sign-off.
Publishing
Approved products sent to each channel automatically.

Check Your ScoreA Typical PIM Workflow, Stage by Stage
Most companies need these five stages. We keep the number of steps as small as your process allows.
1. Import
Supplier or ERP data is loaded and checked against rules.
2. Enrich
Marketing, technical and translation teams fill attributes and assets.
3. Review
The product manager approves; compliance signs off where needed.
4. Publish
Approved products go to channels automatically.
5. Maintain
Changes trigger a new review, so live data stays correct.
