Plytix

Avantages

The layout and ease of use - everything just makes sense. I find this platform to be very intuitive, and whenever I was stumped, I would check the Help Center for guidance.

Inconvénients

Implementing a new system forced us to really look at the integrity of our data - it was a challenge to gather and sort and check our product information. The one area that I wish had a bit more depth was the structure - we have products that come in different sizes, materials and colours and had to choose which was the dominant field when establishing the relationships between products. But it's not a big deal - the Plytix team was able to advise how best to make that happen.

Pourquoi passer à Plytix

Avantages

It has really helped us organise our product data which will help us get our new products to market quicker whilst containing a lot more informative data. There is lots of help available either directly from the team at Plytix or video tutorials available online.

Inconvénients

If you are setting up a Magento channel there is a module that needs to be purchased from Wyomind. It takes a bit of setting up with mapping of attributes but there are videos and online help sheets from Plytix to help.

Pourquoi passer à Plytix

Avantages

User friendly. Easy way to update information. Alot of configuration and connectivity options.

Inconvénients

I continue using the application and I have not found a contradiction to its use

Avantages

easy to use features. We started using it in a short time and all our colleagues understood clearly how to use it.

Inconvénients

No administration levels. It's too easy for anybody which has access to the system to delete also accidentally important data in each record.

Avantages

Our company used to be on Salsify, and when our leadership told us it was too expensive to keep paying for, I was incredibly worried that we would lose all of our capabalities that we needed in a PIM/DAM. We found Plytix, which not only has the same capabalities as Salsify, but more capabalities -- all for about 25% of our Salsify cost. I cannot recommend Plytix enough (and, in fact, have recommended it to several people already).

Inconvénients

The Shopify publishing can be a bit tricky (at least, a bit trickier than the Salsify publishing into Shopify).

Avantages

It is so intuitive and fast to edit products in bulk, its saved us days in onboarding products to Shopify, Amazon and other marketplaces. Updating sales prices or bulk adding a shopify tag takes just minutes now. Love the asset management, uploading images is lightning fast compared to our old system and completely removed the need for an FTP server to store marketplace images. Creating the outbound templates for each platform again saves hours and is the cherry on top.

Inconvénients

The limitation on number of outbound channels was a bit of a sticking point, but they gave us a great deal on a few more when signing.

Avantages

Great service from implementation and account management, solid data management solution. Flexible and new features regularly added. Large bank of information available online.

Inconvénients

I'd personally make brand portals slightly more customisable from a branding perspective.

Avantages

The flexibility of the platformThe support, always helpful and efficientEasy to use and understandGood integration with marketplaces and other platforms

Inconvénients

The limitation in the Free version (without channels)Some adjustments needed in user managementThe product date sheets could be more customizable and dynamic.

Avantages

I tried a few PIMs before we settled on Plytix. Plytix Just Works. Integration with Shopify, our most important platform, is complete and bug-free. Also, support is fast, and the support folks really know their stuff.

Inconvénients

I haven't learned how to use Plytix Asset manager. We use it, but I'm sure we could use it better.

Avantages

We have a huge catalogue of products of over 9000 products, what I like the most about it is that it has gathered all the scattered data we have in drive, ERP system in one place, now we have all the data of the products, all the digital assets, all the marketing material, pricing , stock and the files and technical data sheets of the products under one umbrella and in one place. It made our lives much easier and made the work much faster, it takes now a minute to export all the required data we might need for our wholesale clients or for our retails and e-commerce customers. We also love the brand portals and how it made life easier to our agents in different countries, as now they have access to all our data by minute from their phones, it's very practical and easy to use, I love PIM! :)

Inconvénients

The only thing that we are facing issue with is the filter/search, where coming back to the previous page won't keep the searched result or filter saved, and we need to redo it all over again, we believe Plytix team are already working on it, hopefully it'll be solved soon :)

Avantages

The Team at Plytix are amazing the functionality of Plytix is easy to maneuver however there team are always available for training and help which is there best asset.

Inconvénients

The layout of the page could be improved

Avantages

We have a large amount of products that we often need to redo, add to, change. Plytix makes this task extremely easy and straightforward. It's a terrific tool, and the customer support is amazing.

Inconvénients

I have not used Plytix for anything but product descriptions, and those are super easy with Plytix. I would like to see more font choices, however.

Avantages

It´s easy to use and it has all the qualities i search for.

Inconvénients

There is not so many problems. The only thing is that you can not bulk pictures

Avantages

The centralization of all product information into a single, easily maintainable, data-source that is both extremely flexible and very robust. The ease with which I'm able to then live-feed our product data to internal and external systems is also remarkable. Over all, I like best that Plytix simplified my life. We now have an "authoritative source" for all product data and it's portable to wherever we need it. A very impressive platform.

Inconvénients

Developers in the USA that have experience with Plytix is somewhat limited, as compared to something large like SAP Product Content Hub. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the Plytix PIM is intuitive enough that the learning curve is very short.

Avantages

It's really easy to use and customer service/support is by far the best I have ever experienced in any industry. If your a beginner or Pro you'll be able to use this software at ease.
The software it's self is really adaptable and no same portal would be the same.
It's enabled us to centralise our data and organise all of our files.
It's helped us with data, customer service (We've set up customer portals), staff knowledge and much more.

Best of all it's saved us time and given our staff better/easier product knowledge.

Inconvénients

Not a con as such - but feeds/channels work better with some competitor software. For example on a competitor's platform you can upload their data sheet and map the data quicker. You have a drag and drop system to match the data attributes.

Avantages

It is easy to use and learn. The Bulk fuction is perfect.

Inconvénients

I can not bulk photos on products with lots of sizes.

Avantages

Everything is simple and clear to navigate through. I can easily search for a product, download all images, and other documents with a simple click, and never have to worry about not finding what I'm looking for.

Inconvénients

The font is kind of boring to look at but all else is superb.

Avantages

Easy to use and understand
User-friendly
Importing and exporting a lot of information is very very easy.
Have a great team when you need support
Price is the best for its service

Inconvénients

Need more specific improvement for attributes area

Avantages

Plytix is very user friendly! It is a great way to keep your data organized and they are always adding new tools and tricks to make it easy to use.

The process for downloading images or downloading a file to get the link. I wish it were easier than the current process.

Compatibility and limitations on design product brochures

Pourquoi passer à Plytix

Avantages

1) Easy to Use/ quick access to all our data
2) Catalog feature
3) Being able to link the database to our systems for quick update of the information.
4) Also none of it would be possible without the plytix team :D

Inconvénients

These are not cons rather suggestions
1) I would like to be able to give access to many people of our plytix where they should just be able to view the database and download and not edit or delete
2) Should have a place where i should be able to take a download of the entire database of information.

Avantages

As a company, the main use and best benefit is to have the unlimited filter options and combinations. What allows us to generate reports.

Inconvénients

It does not have pre-established report options or automatic reports, which indicate the % of completion of a product.

Avantages

Plytix it is exactly what we were looking for to better organize our data & content and manage our digital assets. It is easy to use and straight forward. It has just what we need without being overwhelming.

Inconvénients

We are still in the early stages of using this platform but we have not had any issues. Support has been great when we have had questions.
