PIM Integration for eCommerce
Akeneo, Pimcore or any PIM connected to your storefront, so product content is managed once and published everywhere accurately.
A PIM exists so that product content lives in one trustworthy place instead of being copy-pasted across a website, a marketplace, and a catalogue. The integration is what makes that promise real: rich product data, attributes, media, and localisations flowing from the PIM to your storefront cleanly, on publish, without a person in the middle. I connect Akeneo, Pimcore, and other PIM platforms to Shopify, Adobe Commerce, and custom sites with reliable, monitored syncs so your product content is consistent everywhere it appears.
& custom builds
My integration track record
My data and catalogue integration work runs in production, including the Options ERP catalogue sync behind Impact Office Supplies that moves around ten million rows nightly at 100% success. A PIM integration is that same discipline applied to product content.
What I build with PIM
The PIM integration work I most often take on. If yours sounds like one of these, we should talk.
Single Source of Product Truth
Product data, attributes, and relationships flow from the PIM to your storefront so content is authored once and published accurately everywhere, instead of drifting across channels.
Media & Rich Attributes
Images, documents, variant attributes, and localised content published from the PIM to the storefront, so your product pages are complete and correct rather than half-populated.
Publish-driven Sync
Content updates flow when they are approved and published, not on a blunt overnight overwrite, so your storefront reflects the PIM promptly without clobbering anything.
PIM Alongside Your ERP
A PIM handles product content while your ERP handles stock and pricing. I make the two work together so the storefront gets rich content from one and live commercial data from the other.
A PIM integration built to last
The same approach behind every integration I ship, from the first conversation to the years of maintenance that follow.
Scope & map
We map exactly what needs to move between PIM and your store: orders, stock, pricing, customers, and where the awkward edge cases hide.
Build for redundancy
I build the integration around the failure modes: retries with backoff, idempotent writes, and reconciliation, so it holds up when the API has a bad day.
Test & reconcile
Tested against real data in a safe environment, with reconciliation reporting that proves PIM and your store actually agree before go-live.
Monitor & maintain
Monitoring and alerting from launch, so failures surface immediately, and the same developer who built it is the one who keeps it running.

Common PIM Integration Questions
Which PIM platforms can you integrate?
Akeneo and Pimcore are the ones I see most, but the approach applies to any PIM with an API. The work is about getting rich product content, attributes, and media out of the PIM and onto your storefront cleanly and on publish, which is a consistent problem regardless of which platform holds the data.
What's the difference between a PIM and an ERP integration?
A PIM owns product content: descriptions, attributes, media, relationships, and localisations. An ERP owns commercial data: stock, pricing, and orders. They answer different questions, and a mature setup usually has both. I integrate them so the storefront gets rich, consistent content from the PIM and live stock and pricing from the ERP, without the two treading on each other.
Do I even need a PIM?
If you have a large or complex catalogue, sell across several channels, or manage product content in multiple languages, a PIM saves a great deal of manual work and error. If your catalogue is small and lives happily in Shopify, you probably do not need one yet, and that is the advice you will get rather than a pitch for an integration you do not need.
