What is Data Standardisation in PIM?
Definition
Data standardisation in PIM creates uniform formats and naming conventions across attributes and categories. This improves consistency, reduces errors, and accelerates channel syndication. It enhances interoperability with marketplaces and ERPs.
Standardization applies approved conventions to records maintained in the PIM. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take products using inconsistent color names and unit formats, apply the PIM's allowed values and measurement standards, and surface values that cannot be safely standardized.
