Field ownership map
Every product attribute listed with its owning system, sync direction, and the channels that receive it.
The Problem
Every Product Gets Edited in Too Many Places
Product data drifts when each system keeps its own copy. The ERP, the PIM, the store, and the marketplace listings all get edited, and nobody knows which version is right.
01 · Duplicate edits
Teams edit the same product in several systems.
Each field gets one owner, and connectors only move data from that owner.
02 · Stale listings
Channels show old titles, prices, or images.
Delta syncs push each approved change to every connected channel.
03 · Slow launches
New products wait days for manual uploads.
Products publish from the PIM once they're complete and approved.
04 · Silent failures
A failed import goes unnoticed until customers complain.
Failed records land in a retry queue, and your team gets an alert.
Your merchandiser updates a product description in the PIM. Ops changes the price in the ERP, and someone fixes a typo straight in Shopify. By Friday, the Amazon listing shows last month's title, the website shows the new price with old images, and a customer orders a color you discontinued. Your team spends launch week copying spreadsheets between systems instead of launching products.
We start by writing down which system owns every field. The ERP owns SKU, cost, price, and stock; the PIM owns titles, attributes, translations, and images; the store owns merchandising. Then we build connectors that only move data in that direction. Errors land in a queue with alerts, not in a customer's cart.
One owner for every field
A written map of which system owns each attribute, price, and image across your stack.
Only changes get synced
Delta syncs send just what changed, so updates reach every channel without full catalog reloads.
Errors caught before shoppers
Failed records wait in a retry queue with alerts, instead of breaking a product page.
Our PIM Integration Services Process
From Data Review to Live Connectors in Five Steps
You see where your data conflicts, approve the field ownership map, and watch real SKUs pass testing before any connector touches your live store.
We review your PIM, ERP, stores, and channels, plus a sample of product records. You get a short report on where data conflicts today and which plan fits your systems.
What's Included
What You Get With PIM Ecommerce Integration
A field ownership map, connectors for your stores and ERP, asset handling, error queues, and documentation your team can maintain after launch.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs Vendor Connector vs CSV Imports
A vendor's ready-made connector suits standard catalogs on one store. CSV imports work for small, slow-changing catalogs. Custom connectors fit when your fields, ERP, or channels don't match the defaults.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Vendor connector | CSV imports |
|---|---|---|---|
| Field ownership | Mapped and documented | Default mapping | Decided per import |
| Custom attributes | Mapped to metafields or attributes | Supported fields only | Manual column matching |
| ERP data | Prices and stock from the ERP | Often not included | Separate export |
| Sync timing | Delta syncs on change | Vendor schedule | When someone uploads |
| Error handling | Retry queue and alerts | Vendor log | Spotted manually |
| Multiple channels | Stores, marketplaces, and feeds | Usually one channel each | One file per channel |
| Setup time | 3 to 12 weeks | Days to install | Same day |
| Cost | From $1,400, one time | Subscription fee | Free |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built online stores, dashboards, and integrations for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Ecommerce Teams Trust Us With Their PIM Integrations
Product data projects fail on unclear ownership more often than on code. These habits keep your catalog consistent after we hand over.
Ownership before code
We agree which system owns each field before writing a connector. Skipping that step is the most common cause of rework we see on data projects.
Works with your chosen PIM
Akeneo, Salsify, Pimcore, inRiver, or Plytix: we connect the system you already pay for. We won't push a switch unless your PIM truly can't do the job.
Real SKUs in testing
We test with your actual catalog, messy products included. Edge cases like huge variant sets or missing translations surface on staging, not in your live store.
Honest about simpler options
If your store admin or a CSV import still covers your catalog, we'll say so. A connector should save your team time, not add a system to babysit.
Mappings in version control
Field mappings and transforms live in config files under version control. Adding an attribute becomes a reviewed change, not a guess inside a vendor screen.
Your connectors, your accounts
API keys, cloud accounts, and connector code stay in your company's name. You can switch developers later without rebuilding the integration.

Good fit
Teams running a PIM by hand
You bought a PIM, but your team still exports CSV files and uploads them to the store, so the PIM and the storefront rarely match.
Magento stores moving to Akeneo
Your Magento store is moving its catalog into Akeneo, and you need a Magento PIM integration that handles attribute sets, store views, and images.
WooCommerce brands with big catalogs
Your WooCommerce catalog has thousands of variable products, and a WooCommerce PIM integration has to update attributes and images without slowing the site.
Brands with ERP and PIM disagreeing
Your ERP creates SKUs and prices while the PIM holds descriptions, and nobody agrees which system wins when the two disagree.
Agencies building commerce stacks
Your agency is building a composable stack for a client and needs the PIM ERP integration handled by engineers who map product data every week.
Not a fit
Still choosing a PIM
You haven't picked a PIM yet and want a vendor shortlist. Book the vendors' own demos first, then bring us in to connect the system you choose.
ERP sync only
You only need stock, prices, and orders moving between your ERP and Shopify. Our Shopify ERP Integration service covers that without adding a PIM.
Google feed problems
Your real issue is disapproved products on Google Shopping. Our Google Merchant Center and Product Feed Setup service fixes that feed data directly.
Under 500 SKUs
You sell fewer than 500 products in one store and one language. Your store admin or a spreadsheet import may be enough, and we'll tell you before we quote.

Connecting one PIM to one store starts at $1,400, including the field ownership map, up to 5,000 SKUs, and error alerts. Adding an ERP to PIM feed plus ERP prices and stock costs $3,700. Multi-channel hubs with DAM assets and up to 6 locales start at $7,400. You get a fixed price after a free data review.
A single PIM to store connection takes 3 to 4 weeks, including the field map and testing with real SKUs. Projects that add the ERP take 6 to 8 weeks. Multi-channel hubs with several locales take 10 to 12 weeks, mostly because translations and assets need careful testing.
An ERP runs the business side: purchasing, stock, costs, pricing, orders, and invoices. A PIM is where your team writes and enriches product content: titles, descriptions, attributes, translations, and images. They work best together when the ERP creates each SKU and the PIM turns it into something a shopper can read.
A PIM collects product data from suppliers and your ERP, lets your team enrich it, and publishes complete records to each channel. Most PIMs use attribute families, completeness checks, and approval steps, so a product goes live only once its required fields are filled. Integration is what carries that data in and out.
There isn't one best choice; the right PIM depends on catalog size, channels, languages, and budget. Akeneo, Salsify, Pimcore, inRiver, and Plytix all publish APIs we can connect to. We look at your stack and data first, and we're happy to connect whichever PIM your team already prefers.
Through each channel's API or feed format. The connector reads approved products from the PIM, maps attributes to the channel's fields, and sends only what changed. Shopify, Magento, and WooCommerce get API updates, while marketplaces and Google Shopping usually take feeds built from the same PIM data.
By giving each system one job and syncing each field in one direction. The ERP owns stock, cost, and price, the PIM owns product content, and the CRM owns customer data. Connectors move every field from its owner to the systems that read it, so nothing gets edited twice.
In most setups, keep price books in the ERP. Prices depend on cost, customer groups, contracts, and currency, and the ERP already invoices against them. The PIM can hold a reference price for feeds, but customer-specific price lists should flow from the ERP straight to the store.
We sync each product with Shopify's productSet mutation, which sets the full product, its options, and its variants from an outside source. Shopify allows up to 2,048 variants per product by default. Attributes your theme or filters need go into metafields, and shared data such as size charts can use metaobjects.
You do. The connector code, mapping files, cloud account, and API keys stay in your company's name, and you get documentation covering every field, schedule, and alert. If you add a channel or a product family later, your team or ours can extend the mappings without starting over.
