The Problem

Common Legacy PIM Challenges

Most legacy PIM systems were never built for the scale, speed, and AI-driven workflows that modern manufacturers and ecommerce teams require.

Require heavy custom coding and scripting to make even small edits

Reliance on systems integrators and IT divisions to run and configure

Lack of technical support for integrations across your stack

Inflexible data model that doesn't scale with the business

Inability to manipulate data and manage quality at scale

Operational disruption and data loss risk during cutover

How It Works

Three Phases. Zero Surprises.

Assess & Plan

We assess your legacy PIM, source systems, integrations, and product data, then build a targeted migration plan with measurable milestones.

Stage & Protect

Critical data is staged inside Convergence PIM as your safety net, where taxonomists and the Data Services team cleanse, enrich, and govern it without disrupting live channels.

Migrate & Grow

Validated, enriched data is cut over to your target PIM with engineering support for downstream integrations, then optimized to drive ecommerce and dealer revenue.

What SmartSwitch Delivers

Six Ways We Protect Your Migration

A combined program of expert services, technology, and commercial flexibility designed to keep your data, your channels, and your team safe through cutover.

Mitigate Risk with a Targeted Plan

Minimize the risks associated with operational disruptions and data loss during migration, giving your team peace of mind through every phase of cutover.

Stage Your Most Critical Data

Stage and govern your data, maintaining control and access while you decommission your legacy PIM platform on a schedule that fits your business.

Accelerate Time to Market

A programmatic strategy to improve product data quality and completeness, with emphasis on speed to market, scalability, and channel readiness.

Deferred License Fees

Defer PIM license fees during migration until cutover is complete and issues are resolved, so you only pay for what's working in production.

Move to a flexible, scalable, and reliable PIM suited to your industry and data needs, with enrichment and quality tooling built for manufacturers.

Drive Revenue Growth

Drive sales, improve customer satisfaction, and lift the bottom line with enhanced product data quality backed by deep technical expertise.
