Product data breaks at enterprise scale
Thousands of items, many variants, several markets and languages, and more channels every year. When product information has no home of its own, every team keeps its own copy.
Perfion gives it that home: one governed record that the ERP, the webshops, the partner portal and the print catalogue all draw from.
One governed product record. Owned by the business, used by every channel.
Book an assessment→Sound familiar?4 signs of scattered product data
- 01
Ready to ship, not to sell
A product is ready to ship, but its web listing, datasheet and translations are still being prepared.
- 02
One item, many versions
The same item is described differently in the ERP, the webshop, the dealer price list and the catalogue.
- 03
ERP fields stretched thin
Marketing text, images and specifications are squeezed into ERP fields never designed for them.
- 04
Supplier data retyped
Suppliers send product data in their own formats, and someone retypes it.
✓One governed record in Perfion addresses all four.
Same channels, a different way of working
Your ERP does transactions well. It was never built to be a content system. Switch between the two ways of working.
ERP only
Copies drift apart between systems
- ✕Marketing contentIn ERP fields, spreadsheets and shared folders.
- ✕New product launchEach channel prepared separately, at its own pace.
- ✕TranslationsCopied by hand into each system.
- ✕Supplier dataRetyped from the supplier's own files.
- ✕Catalogues and datasheetsAssembled by hand for every edition.
With Perfion PIM
Maintained once, the same everywhere
- ✓Marketing contentOne governed record in Perfion, owned by the business.
- ✓New product launchPrepared once, then released to every channel when complete.
- ✓TranslationsHeld per language, with machine translation through DeepL or Google Translate.
- ✓Supplier dataSubmitted through the Supplier Portal and approved by your team.
- ✓Catalogues and datasheetsGenerated from live product data.
The ERP keeps doing what it does best: transactions. Perfion takes over the product content.
Six capabilities, one product record
Product data, images and files in one platform, modelled around your products rather than a fixed template.
-
Structure01
Product structure
Your own features and categories, item hierarchies for products and variants, values inherited from parent to child, and bulk creation of items from feature combinations.
Read the guide: Features and Configurations → -
Assets02
Digital asset management
Images, video, audio and documents held with each item, with metadata such as validity and expiry dates. One master file gives every channel the size and format it needs. Optional Perfion Asset Cloud stores large libraries in the cloud, with image watermarking.
Read the guide: Images, Files and Asset Cloud → -
Languages03
Every language, one record
Localised content per language, machine translation through Google Translate or DeepL, DeepL glossaries, and spell checking across all active languages.
Read the guide: Languages and Translation → -
AI04
AI text generation
Generate product names, titles and descriptions from reusable prompt templates that draw on your own product data.
Read the guide: AI Text Generation → -
Suppliers05
Supplier Portal
Suppliers create and enrich their own items in a simplified web client. You set mandatory fields and auto-approval rules, and accept or reject every change.
Read the guide: Supplier Portal → -
Publishing06
Reports and publications
Design datasheets and reports, combine them into multi-chapter publications with indexes, and export to PDF, Word, Excel and other formats.
Read the guide: Reports and Publishing →
Run by your business, without custom code
Your team shapes the data model
Fields, relationships, variants and hierarchies are defined in Perfion by the people who own the data, not in a development project.
Automation without writing code
Actions, Perfion’s low-code toolbox, runs imports, exports and validations on a schedule, when data changes, or at the click of a button.
Extensions that keep upgrades safe
Changes are added alongside the standard setup rather than built into it, so the core stays standard and upgrades stay straightforward.
Perfion complements your ERP; it does not replace it. The ERP keeps transactions, stock and finance, and Perfion holds the product information. Read the guide: Actions and Automation →
Every Perfion feature, and what it does for you
Twenty-one features in five groups, from modelling your products to connecting them to every system you run. Pick one to see what it does and why it matters.
Feature types, pick lists and item dependency
What it does
- Feature TypesEleven data types, from a one-line string to a table
- Selectable Features and Feature DataPick lists managed once, used on every item
- Localizable, Captions and UnitsOne feature, every language
- Item DependencyEach item shows only the features that apply to it
- ✓Inheritable and Allow Multiple
- ✓Swap Relation Direction
- ✓Security, Read Only and Remote
Why it matters
Model your products
- Every channel gets one spelling of each colour, material and category, so filters and reports agree.
- Editors see a short, relevant item card instead of a long list of fields that do not apply.
- 5 Core Concepts
- 10 Best Practices
- Vocabulary
Pick lists, hierarchies and filtered values
What it does
- Selectable FeaturesUsers pick values from a list instead of typing them
- Feature DataEvery pick list maintained in one place
- Filtered ValuesOnly the values that make sense for this item
- Item RelationsSee where a value is used before you change it
- ✓Hierarchies and Custom Order
- ✓Lists With Their Own Data
- ✓Access to Lists
Why it matters
Model your products
- Every channel receives one spelling of each value, so filters, reports and feeds agree without a clean-up round.
- Impossible combinations, such as a colour a range is not made in, are stopped at entry instead of found by a customer.
- 5 Core Concepts
- 10 Best Practices
- Vocabulary
Searches, grids, bulk editing and item comparison
What it does
- Categorizers and SearchesFind the items a task is about, in a click or a query
- Editing Many Items at OnceOne value, applied to every selected item
- Item Editor and Item DetailsOne item, all of its data, in one place
- Compare ItemsTwo to four items, side by side
- ✓Layouts and Views
- ✓Languages Side by Side
- ✓Previous Values and Recycle Bin
Why it matters
Model your products
- Range-wide changes, such as a new finish or a corrected weight, take minutes instead of a day of row-by-row edits.
- Variants are checked against each other before release, so one wrong value does not reach a customer.
- 5 Core Concepts
- 10 Best Practices
- Vocabulary
Item Creator, default values and staging
What it does
- Item CreatorEvery combination of the values you pick, in one step
- Choosing the CombinationsCreate only the items that really exist
- Default ValuesThe right standard values on every new item
- Staging and Compare SearchesA draft beside the active item, and what changed
- ✓Flat Lists or Virtual Items
- ✓Dimension Sets

- FormulasTitles and descriptions composed from your data
- Replace Values and Barcode TextCodes turned into words, numbers ready for barcodes
- Swap Relation TablesIngredients and components as rows, not columns
- ✓What a Related Value Shows
- ✓Expressions
- ✓Formulas in Every Output
Why it matters
Model your products
- Details such as a unit’s licence number or a colour code are maintained in one place and are correct on every product that uses them.
- Hundreds of titles follow one agreed pattern and are built from data that is already checked, instead of being typed and retyped.
- 5 Core Concepts
- 10 Best Practices
- Vocabulary
Business rules, item triggers and comments
What it does
- Business Rules on FeaturesLimits beyond what the feature type allows
- Hard and Soft RulesReject the value, or warn before saving

- ✓Number Ranges
- ✓Comments and Notifications
Why it matters
Enrich and govern

- Bad data cannot slip in unnoticed through a bulk update or a supplier file, so clean-up projects become rare.
- 5 Core Concepts
- 10 Best Practices
- Vocabulary
Language codes, machine translation, spell checking and XLIFF
What it does

Why it matters
Enrich and govern

- Apply Templates to Many ItemsOne job, a tailored text for each item
- ✓Images and Files in Prompts

- ✓AI Setup with Your Own Key
Why it matters
Enrich and govern
- Texts are written from the facts held in Perfion, not from memory or an old spec sheet, so the description matches the product it sits on.
- A new range of hundreds of products gets its names and descriptions in one run, each written from its own data, so the range is ready to sell sooner.

Control that holds at enterprise scale
Who can change what, which version is live, what suppliers may touch, and where it all runs.
Prepare before it goes live
Work on a draft version of an item while the active version stays live. Item triggers react to changes, for example by updating a status or regenerating an export.
Read the guide: Validation and Business Rules →One item, a draft version and an active version.
Suppliers in, under your control
Suppliers submit items through the Supplier Portal. Your team accepts or rejects each item and each value before anything reaches the master record.
Read the guide: Supplier Portal →- 1Draft
- 2Submitted
- ✓Accepted
Mandatory fields are validated before an item can be submitted.
Rights down to the language
Role-based access for users and groups, including users from Active Directory. Password policies and lockout, a service account for API access, and an audit log with a recycle bin.

Selling into the EU? Get the passport data in order
Under the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR, Regulation (EU) 2024/1781), Digital Product Passports are being brought in category by category. The rules follow where a product is sold, not where it is made, so they reach exporters from India too. Batteries come first, under their own regulation (EU) 2023/1542, with the battery passport from 18 February 2027.
Perfion holds the data a passport draws on in one governed record: materials and their origin, carbon footprint, repair and recycling information, and certificates, with version history and an audit trail.
iPerfion manages the passport data. Issuing the passport itself, such as its QR code, is a separate step, and we plan it with you in the assessment.
- ✓Material composition and origin
- ✓Carbon footprint
- ✓Repair and spare parts
- ✓Disassembly and recycling
- ✓Certificates and declarations

Who usually leads the decision
A PIM programme sits between departments. The strongest projects have a business owner, with IT as a partner rather than the sponsor.
A phased programme, value proven early
Each phase ends with something your team can use, and the last one leaves your team in control.
From assessment to adoption
Five phases, run with your product, marketing and IT teams together.
The assessment comes first. You get the findings and a business case before any licence decision.
