PIM Activation Program

Make your PIM part of how the business works.

Turn your PIM investment into a dependable way to create, improve, and publish product information. Layer One helps align the data model, ownership, workflows, and teams needed to put it to use.

Product structure

Review workflow
Channel-ready data
Repeatable publishing
Illustrative engagement concept; scope is agreed with your team.
The problem

A configured platform can still leave the work unfinished.

Product teams continue using spreadsheets. Attributes mean different things across categories. Publishing depends on one person. Activation addresses the operating practices around the platform and tests them on real products and channels.

This may be your starting point if…

  • The PIM is live, but teams still maintain information elsewhere.
  • Product families, attributes, or ownership are unclear.
  • Enrichment and publishing take too much manual coordination.
What's included

What we work toward together

Scope is agreed around your priorities, systems, and team. The engagement can include:

A prioritized activation plan tied to specific business and channel needs.

Refined product structures, attribute definitions, and readiness criteria for the agreed scope.

Documented ownership and workflows for enrichment, review, and publication.

A working pilot with team training and an expansion backlog.

FAQ

Questions before you begin

Do we need a new PIM?

We begin with the platform and investments you already have. Replacement is a separate decision if the findings warrant it.

Is catalog cleanup included?

We agree on the products and remediation needed for the pilot. Larger catalog cleanup is scoped explicitly.

How do we agree the scope and commitment?

We begin with a conversation about the problem, the people involved, and the information available. We then agree deliverables, responsibilities, timing, and commercial terms. The work can be scoped independently or within an ongoing Layer One partnership.
