Which solution fits your situation?

A generalist PIM such as Akeneo or Quable

  • You manage a very large multi-category catalog, well beyond beverages.

  • You have a team or an integrator to model your data.

A specialized PIM such as vin.co

  • You want to produce PDF technical sheets, catalogs, QR codes and a distributor extranet from the same database.
  • You prefer public pricing and a free offer to get started.
  • You want your data hosted in France, on a platform used by more than 3,000 industry professionals.
