PIM Software for Mechanical Engineering: More Efficiency and Better Data Quality for Digital Sales
One central data backbone for engineering, variant configuration and the spare parts business: precise, consistent and always in sync between engineering, ERP and sales, instead of spread across several parallel point solutions.
VIAMEDICI SOLVES
In mechanical engineering, the number of systems often grows faster than data quality: engineering (CAD/PLM), ERP, translation tools, catalog solutions and sometimes several parallel PIM instances per plant or country organization. The result is inconsistent product data, duplicated maintenance and uncertainty about which version is the right one.
There is no room for error here. An outdated bill of materials or a wrongly assigned spare part can bring a customer plant to a standstill or cause costly rework, especially when engineering, ERP and sales data are not consistent.
This is why well-known machine builders such as TRUMPF rely on central product data software rather than fragmented individual tools. Without that single reliable source, it becomes hard to keep variant complexity, the spare parts business and international sales channels under control at the same time. That is exactly where we come in.

FAQs
A PIM system (product information management) brings together all product data in mechanical engineering: engineering data, variant logic, spare parts relationships and technical documentation. It creates a single source of truth that engineering, sales, service and channel partners can access in real time.
Yes. A typical pattern in mechanical engineering is a landscape of several parallel PIM and catalog tools that has grown across plants, brands or country organizations. Viamedici EPIM serves as the target platform for consolidating them into a single golden record, with a structured migration path instead of another system on top of the existing ones.
Viamedici maps configuration rules, options and dependencies in a structured way and connects them to the Smart Product Configurator (SPC). This produces valid, quotable machine configurations in real time instead of manual alignment between sales and engineering, as soon as the product kit is complex enough to justify it.
Pure catalog tools generally only manage the output of product data, without their own master data management (MDM) or configuration logic. As the product portfolio or the number of variants grows, such tools hit structural limits. Viamedici EPIM combines catalog capabilities with MDM and native configuration (CPQ) from the outset, in one platform rather than several connected tools.
Yes. Viamedici EPIM offers bidirectional integration with SAP and SAP S/4HANA. Bills of materials, variant logic and technical attributes stay in sync between engineering, ERP and all downstream channels.
viaPUBLISH generates media-neutral spare parts catalogs and technical documentation from a single data source, including automated translation via TMS integrations. Even after 15 to 20 years of machine service life, all spare parts information stays unambiguous and current.
TMS integrations (DeepL, Across, Trados) and decentralized editing rights keep product data centrally consistent while individual country organizations or teams still add and maintain their own local content, including multilingual catalogs and documentation for double-digit numbers of languages.
Migration runs step by step along a structured migration path rather than as a one-off big bang: existing data sources are connected and transferred one after another while catalogs, the spare parts business and sales channels keep running throughout. Even a fragmented landscape that has grown over years can be replaced without interrupting day-to-day business or customer communication.
