What is a PIM system for construction and building materials?

A PIM (Product Information Management) system centralizes product information for construction materials—including specifications, technical details, certifications, and compliance documentation. It creates a single source of truth accessible to suppliers, contractors, architects, and project teams in real-time.

How does Master Data Management (MDM) solve data fragmentation in construction supply chains?

MDM creates a centralized 'golden record' by integrating data from multiple supplier systems. Instead of managing disparate formats, you syndicate one authoritative product record to all partners in real-time. This eliminates inconsistencies, reduces order errors, and accelerates project timelines.

How does PIM reduce time-to-market for new building products?

By centralizing specs and certifications, new product variants are created in days instead of weeks. Teams no longer wait for scattered documentation. Configurations are built from pre-approved attributes, and approved products automatically publish to all channels simultaneously.

What is a 'golden record' in construction product management?

A golden record is the authoritative, verified version of product data maintained in one system (MDM/PIM). All departments and sales channels pull from this record. Updates happen once, and everyone sees changes instantly. This eliminates conflicting information and reduces ordering errors.

Revolutionize your automotive parts, fitment, and supplier data

One data backbone for OEM procurement, supplier catalogs, and aftermarket distribution – accurate, compliant, and always in sync.

VIAMEDICI SOLVES

When it comes to automotive OEMs, Tier 1/2 suppliers, and aftermarket distribution, complex fitment and safety-relevant data must be shared accurately with multiple partners, workshops, and dealers.

There is no room for error when a wrong fitment link or an outdated compliance attribute can mean a recall or a non-compliant part on the shelf.

From both a data-quality and a regulatory perspective, without proper management of information it’s nearly impossible to ensure accuracy – which can be costly and result in non-compliance with industry standards.

This is where we come in!

We Have Solutions to Your Most Challenging Problems

Fitment & Classification Complexity

Every part must be correctly linked to vehicles, engines, and brands across standards like TecDoc (Europe) and ACES/PIES (North America). A single incorrect fitment assignment on a safety-relevant part - brakes, steering, restraint systems - creates real risk and erodes dealer and workshop trust.

Viamedici Solution

VIA/PIM360° models parts, vehicles, and applications as structured, validated relationships, with built-in rule checks before publication - and direct syndication into TecDoc, dealer portals, and e-commerce.

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

Automotive parts and vehicles face constantly evolving labeling, safety, and sustainability requirements - from classic type-approval marking to emerging Digital Product Passport (DPP) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) obligations.

Viamedici Solution

Built-in rule engines validate mandatory attributes before publication, and Sustain360 structures DPP/EPD-relevant data so compliance evidence is always audit-ready.

Multi-Channel Distribution

The same part record must reach OEM procurement portals, Tier 1/2 supplier catalogs, dealer networks, distributor EDI feeds, TecDoc, and B2C marketplaces - each with its own format and completeness thresholds.

Viamedici Solution

A golden record is syndicated once and distributed everywhere via viaCONNECT, keeping every channel synchronized without manual re-entry.

ERP Integration & Product Variants

Automotive suppliers run SAP-centric landscapes with highly configurable products. Keeping variant logic, pricing, and technical attributes synchronized between ERP and every sales channel is a constant integration burden.

Viamedici Solution

Bidirectional SAP / S/4HANA integration plus the Smart Product Configurator (SPC) keep configurable-product logic consistent between engineering, ERP, and customer-facing channels.

Global, multilingual Catalogs

Parts manufacturers and distributors sell into dozens of markets. Producing accurate, on-time technical documentation and catalogs in every local language - without duplicating effort - is a persistent bottleneck.

Viamedici Solution

viaPUBLISH generates media-neutral print and digital catalogs from one data source, with TMS integrations (DeepL, Across, Trados) for fast, consistent multilingual output.

A PIM (Product Information Management) system centralizes automotive product data - technical attributes, fitment relationships, certifications, and compliance documentation. It creates a single source of truth accessible to OEMs, Tier 1/2 suppliers, distributors, and dealers in real time.

How does PIM manage fitment data for TecDoc and ACES/PIES?

Viamedici models parts, vehicles, engines, and brands as structured, validated relationships, then syndicates that data directly into TecDoc and ACES/PIES-based channels - reducing manual re-entry and fitment errors.

Can Viamedici EPIM integrate with our SAP landscape?

Yes. Viamedici EPIM offers bidirectional integration with SAP and SAP S/4HANA, keeping product master data, pricing, and variant logic synchronized between ERP and every downstream channel.

How does Viamedici support Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements?

Sustain360 structures sustainability and compliance data - material composition, recyclability, supply chain provenance - at the individual part level, keeping it versioned and audit-ready as DPP/EPD regulations evolve.
