Plytix

Avantages

Literally, everything is perfect, the account manager support, the PIM system itself, the way I can create my own catalogs in just a minute, the brand portal, the assets management, the data management, the channels.This system saved me a huge amount of time listing my product on any e-commerce platforms, sending updated daily lists to our customers, or creating catalogs.

Inconvénients

it's hard what to not like about this system, but If I'm going to pick something, it's going to be the filters that keep resetting the filters on the brand portal every time I click on a certain product or go back to the previous page.But they promised me that it's going to be solved soon, as they're bringing new modifications to the brand portal, and I hope it will be done very soon.

Avantages

Direct integration with Shopify and the automated sync

Inconvénients

No image ai auto tagging for the photos.

Pourquoi passer à Plytix

Avantages

How it synchronizes across platforms! Solid one source of truth!

Inconvénients

I’m not as technically experienced so I’m learning how to use it still.

Avantages

Plytix is an amazing tool that is helping us change our information and data paradigm at Roots Radicals. We were looking for the best tool for this purpose and Plytix is certainly proving to be what we need.

Inconvénients

Some features, like the creation of PDF data sheets per product used to exist but no longer are available. I'm looking forward to when they activate them again.

Avantages

Die Filterfunktion in Plytix ist sehr dezidiert, sodass spezielle Produkte im Bulk bearbeitet werden können. Wir haben durch den Einsatz von Plytix eine enorme Zeitersparnis in der Bearbeitung und Aktualisierung von Produktinformationen festgestellt und sind sehr zufrieden.

Inconvénients

Das Handling von Assets ist für unsere Bedürfnisse noch nicht ganz ausgereift. Bei dem Upload und Zuweisung von Assets zu Daten sollte eine Mehrfachbearbeitung möglich sein.

Avantages

Knowledgeable Expertise: [sensitive content hidden] customer service rep displays an impressive depth of knowledge about Plytix's products and services. She always answered all my questions thoroughly and provided valuable insights into best practices, which helped me make informed decisions.

Inconvénients

This is not possible for me to state the cons as I did not experience any.

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

The ease of setting up products and pulling it into different customers product sheet formats. Saves so much time.

Inconvénients

There is a lot of information you take in and so many pages, it can be a bit daunting to use if you don't use it regularly.

Avantages

Das Erstellen der Produktdatenblätter und das Erstellen der Kataloge ist ein absoluter Benefit in diesem Programm.Das nutzerfreundliche Interface und die übersichtliche Landing Page sind zusätzlich auch noch variabel pro Benutzer anzulegen.Es vereinfacht das tägliche Arbeiten in sämtlichen Bereichen des online Business

Inconvénients

Ausbaufähig ist das Reporting. Eventuell könnten auch noch weitere Dinge wie logistische Daten aus einem ERP berücksichtigt werden

Avantages

PIM helps us to manage product information and cut down on the manual process we need to do especially when we need to integrate the product information into our other platforms.

Inconvénients

We have needs to separate our products by packaging into the product level. Therefore, we need to have a distinct function so that when we want to sync to other platforms can only sync as a master product. Now we need to sync to an intermediate platform doing the distinct function before syncing to the end target platform.

Avantages

The speed and ease I can edit / amend product data and how this feeds in to the channel uploads. Means our product information on our websites are always up to date. I also use brand portals frequently and it makes customers lives so much easier which in turn helps me.

Inconvénients

There's nothing I strongly dislike about Plytix, there are just a few more things that I would like. I would prefer if the e-catalogues and product sheets could be a bit more editable, at the minute the sections you can edit are just a bit rigid.

Avantages

Onboarding is easy. I can think of something and then navigate how to do it in plytix with ease. The whole PIM idea is new to our company, so the onboarding piece is very important. Other departments only loosely buy into the idea and won't sit through training sessions. The software is so common sense they can hit the ground running.Oh and the flexibilities of the filters is great too.

Inconvénients

Brand portal customisation is still not quite right.

Avantages

It is user-friendly, easy to manage, has almost all features you need for data management, will help you feed an online shop with all related assets and attributes in one place. Great for building a "single source of truth"

Inconvénients

You cannot define specific user roles regarding attributes they can edit.There is no data quality control. If you made a mistake and didn't notice it, it will not be reported

Avantages

User friendly interface makes it easy to house all of our product information, from technical specifications, to marketing content, files and assets and product grouping. The portal is great for sharing with our external parties.

Inconvénients

It can be easy to override information and lose data sometimes. The changelog helps here, although you cannot reverse a bulk action.

Avantages

The best feature is that it is a complete web-based (SAAS) solution and a great support department.

Inconvénients

The disadvantage is that it is a Saas solution and there is not always the option of customizing

Avantages

Der größte Vorteil ist die einfache Bedienbarkeit und der herausragende Support.Die Verwendung von Plytix gestaltet sich als intuitiv und durch die wirklich guten Hilfeseiten kommt man auch schnell weiter, wenn es mal hakt.

Pourquoi passer à Plytix

Avantages

It allows us to use a PIM without having to pay tens of thousands of pounds a year and get all of the benefits associated with scaling up the business. It was very easy to set up and we had our first connection with our website within a few days.

Inconvénients

There are many little features that could be improved but the main one is the inability to change imported values in a spread sheet (such as appending text to a column) and all work must be done in the spread sheet first. They have computed attributes for their exports, but would be good to have something similar for their imports too.

Pourquoi passer à Plytix

Avantages

Plytix is so easy to set up, use, and adjust to our ever changing needs.
The ability to map the headings over for each channel has saved us hours of work when migrating from a Magento 1 to a Magento 2 site.

Inconvénients

There are some features missing that would be useful for our company, however we know these features are in the works and hopefully will be coming soon!

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

Having been strung along for weeks by a competing company prior to receiving an astronomical quotation, I opted to have a look at you guys. In which I was convinced you were for me, within an hour, on the basis of the functions meeting our requirements, and you guys there being brutally honest of what you can, can't and will be able to do. Favourites being ease of use in general, the functionality of catalogues, and how helpful people have been on the live chat.

Inconvénients

I'm unable to create user accounts for my colleagues until I can select who can and cannot amend product details - I have been informed that this is being worked on however. Additionally, if I'm in 'All Products' and apply a quick filter, I'd like to be able to go in and out of products on that list without having to apply the filter each time or saving as a list (maybe just be able to click on a product and open it in a new tab?). No altering of the pdf look/layout beyond the covers, which in testing I find sometimes don't print full page (couple inches of white on the right and bottom despite correct spec, while other times it works fine).

Avantages

Das Beste an dieser Software ist, wie einfach es ist, deine eigenen Anpassungen für deinen Geschäftsprozess oder dein Produkt vorzunehmen. Sie ist flexibel, und das Team entwickelt ständig neue Funktionen. Wenn du also etwas vermisst, ist es wahrscheinlich schon in der Entwicklung.

Inconvénients

Wenn du dich in dieser Branche nicht auskennst, wirst du wahrscheinlich auf einige Hindernisse stoßen. Aber es gibt nichts, was ich jetzt an Plytix ändern würde. Das Team engagiert sich so sehr für die Community und die Nutzer, dass es sehr gut gepflegt und aktualisiert wird.

Avantages

Plytix is very compatible with other systems which makes the integration with other apps work fantastic. PIM is very easy to use and teach others.

Inconvénients

It is annoying that you can not BULK more photos at once.

Avantages

The one thing about Plytix Index I like is the Ease of use of the software - unlike alot of other PIM's I dont have to be a programmer to get it to work, Its quick and efficient and will form the base of our continuing development for our e-commerce business.
The support guys are amazing and will do almost anything to help.

Inconvénients

Unfortunatley I have personally tried to run before I can walk, I want the features of a $30000 p/year PIM for Almost free and the cost per SKU can work out expensive if you have a lot of products like us - The developers are continuing to work on new features which in time will make Pytix Index something to be rivaled.

Avantages

- Ease of use - Can set up and operate without an IT degree!
- Flexibility - You can change data quickly using bulk edits / uploads. But can adapt the data held to your requirements.
- Structure - Well structured system that makes sense but also the structure allows a high degree of flexibility

Overall an easy to set up and use system that makes managing large product catalogues a breeze. Beats a spreadsheet any day. Now an integral part of our business now and in the future. Thank you to plytix for delivering a great product.

Inconvénients

- Sometimes doesn't work well with firefox browser, so I have had to switch to chrome. When i had an issue i contacted the service team and they dealt with it quickly telling me what i needed to do.

Avantages

A great piece of software that has been a great help in managing our data for multiple channels. It has enabled us to be able to specify what data we need and where using one central location for data.

Inconvénients

Athough it is not as advanced as some PIM software there has been great improvement in what is available over the time we have been using it and lots more to come in the pipeline.

Avantages

I like that PIM is the kind of product that can be adapted to meet the needs of my business and that it organizes the information for each product quickly and easily.

Inconvénients

Plytix lacks crucial NEXT BUTTONS that make moving from one product to the next in a group a process that can either be a. smooth and easy or b. a repetitive task of jumping back and forth in the same two pages repeatedly.

Avantages

Der eigene Lernprozess gestaltet sich mit der Software sehr einfach und es kann schnell eigenständig gearbeitet werden. Für unseren Bereich ist das Erstellen von Katalogen und Produktdatenblättern eine große Arbeitsentlastung und ein toller Mehrwert der Software. Durch Plytix konnten wir nochmal einen tieferen Fokus auf die Produktdatenpflege legen und wir haben einen viel besseren Überblick über das Sortiment.

Inconvénients

Wir arbeiten erst seit ein paar Monaten mit dem System. Grundsätzlich ist die Schnittstelle zu anderen Plattformen aber nicht ganz so einfach.

Avantages

Easy to use and very modelable. The price is also very fair.

Inconvénients

It's hard to limit yourself. And if I could start over importing old data, I would have done something different. Now it is hard to "clean up" the data.

Avantages

The ease of use, data entry and open database structure is great. Plytix Index is best suited for PIM beginners as well as advanced users. Of course not everything is perfect but the Plytix team is very customer oriented and takes customer needs into account when developing the software.

Inconvénients

A PIM must fulfill the following four tasks for me:

- input
- Processing
- Analysis
- output

The first three makes index good, the output still has improvement potential. The feed export in .CSV, .XML and .XLSX is great but the catalog PDF export function is still not sufficient today. The customer must be able to create his own PDF catalog or Index must offer at least a selection of templates.

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

Avantages

- It has very good UX.
- Cloud based
- Great support (English and Spanish)
- Easy setup process

Inconvénients

We are just waiting for API integrations regarding the data sync between plytix and our backoffice.

Avantages

Easy import / export
Routine processing of assets
Asset storage
Unlimited attribute creation
Dynamic PDF generation + real time E-catalogs

Inconvénients

Lack of private usage (it's all a shared workspace)

Avantages

Besides the fact that it's a really powerful tool to make sure you have all the information in one place, it's really easy to create hundreds of feeds which customers can just 'snatch' daily. You just import the latest specifications, and they can always grab your latest stock or other information that might change on the regular.

Inconvénients

The Live Chat window sometimes covers up other buttons so you might be searching until someone points out you forgot how to read.

Avantages

Very userfriendly software with unlimited bulk import options which saves a lot of time and is very efficient. The customer service very patient and helpful and is alway available.

Inconvénients

So far, the system doesn't have any restictions. The uploading of all the images and renaming the images and re-importing the images seems a little circuitous.

Avantages

The speed and efficiency in which we are able to upload, modify, access and share all of our product information has been very beneficial.

Inconvénients

Direct ERP integration would be a helpful. Options to customize the look and feel of the catalogs falls a bit short.

Avantages

Easy to use, the team is very happy to find all the information in one tool

Inconvénients

Connection to plattforms is still a little bit complicated

Avantages

Plytix has a fantastic team when it comes to customer support, from trialling, to learning, to suggesting new features there was always someone that I could speak to either via email which is always replied to within the same day or by phone which I could make an appointment for within a few days.

Inconvénients

Not much to complain about, because the team is still relatively small it can take a while for some suggestions to be implemented but this is more of an inconvenience than an issue.

Avantages

The knowledge and honesty of the staff I have dealt with, the release cycle of new features

Inconvénients

Takes some time to understand how to get our data to fit, but I suspect this would be true whichever PIM solution was used

Avantages

Die Einfachheit der Einführung und der Nutzung.

Inconvénients

Die Relations sind etwas mühsam zum machen. Eine Relation ohne Mengenangabe wäre noch super.

Avantages

Infos are easy to find, add, edit and organize.
I find it very easy to implement to my team and I like how fast it is.

Inconvénients

Can't tag my colleagues in tasks, as to allocating traslations or infos added. It is a pity because it is a collaborative tool

Avantages

Plytix is a very useful tool for organizing our product data. I have a SKU database of nearly 3000 items. Plytix gives me the ability to create my own attributes and group them how I need. I can then create feeds using my own custom criteria to perform a ton of different tasks within my company's various departments. Implementation assistance and support has been top-notch. From that aspect alone, I've yet to see Plytix outperformed.

Inconvénients

Nothing major. Minor issues are resolved quickly and professionally.

Avantages

This is quite organized. You can filter any attribute very easily. You can bulk-update products quite easily. You can create views and save them for later use.

Inconvénients

You can't assign rights for different roles in attribute label. but I guess it's on development.

Avantages

High flexibility in customizing fields, multiple images, media, etc...
Easy to import/export big quantities of data
Super supportive and knowledgeable support team

Inconvénients

Difficult to manage the Product/Variant duality and ensure consistency for the shared fields
Quite complicated adding a lot of fields in the Feeds (unlike Catalogs which is very easy)
Feeds/Catalogs could be merged, allowing for both file export and web visualization
It would be nice to have preconfigured ecommerce flows (e.g. Shopify, Amazon, etc...)

Avantages

Ease of using, its time-saving characteristics & connectability to other channels/feeds

Inconvénients

Missing the bulk edit in the image section

Avantages

I like the way we take advantage of using your feeds and catalogs. We can personalize everything we do based on each customer and it saves us hours for each build/setup we have for them. I also like the layout of the software - it's very easy to maneuver around and it's very visual, making it easy to work on something with Plytix open on another screen. Lastly, I love the customer service. Your service is a big reason we decided to go with you because you

Inconvénients

The thing we like least about Plytix was not being able to make lists with a bulk search, or search for products using multiple skus. Because we have item setups of over 100 some times, it is a pain making lists by searching for one SKU at a time.

Avantages

Simple interface, no overly complicated setting. Attribute grouping allows you to differentiate product groups. Excellent customer service using live chat from within the platform.

Inconvénients

Some features that competitors have are missing such as hiding attributes for certain products and using workflows.

Avantages

- Very easy to use
- Great customer support
- Always operational
- Clear about updates
- Very flexible

Inconvénients

- Still in development, advanced functies missing, like calculated attributes
- Some minor annoyances, like that there is no option to set and/or rules for filters.

Avantages

Plytix is simple to use and configure and I've been most pleased with the support. Any issue I've had has always been resolved straight-away.

Inconvénients

Plytix is not an enterprise-level tool. So, at this point its void of some of the workflow and data standardization tools one might expect from a typical PIM. But it fills the need for reasonable product management at a fair price.

Avantages

It’s is great to store all of your product information and when you have many items it makes it great to have it all in one place

Inconvénients

Some of the set up can be tedious when you have many items

Avantages

Plytix is very user friendly -- and the support they offer is fantastic. We opted to pay for 10 hours of onboarding support as part of our package and found it has greatly accelerated our onboarding process. Our set up team is very happy with the support they are receiving and the knowledge they are gaining.

Inconvénients

At this point, the software has met or exceeded our expectations. We hope that, down the road, Plytix will make it possible to do direct feeds to some of our key trading partners.

Avantages

Good to have all info and images etc in one place

Inconvénients

Hard to grasp at first, but after training with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] from Plytix this was much clearer
