Pimcore

Category: PIM, MDM & DAM (Data & Experience Management)

Pimcore is an open-core data and experience management platform that combines product information management (PIM), master data management (MDM), digital asset management (DAM), customer data, and digital commerce in one API-driven framework. It gives organizations a single, consolidated foundation for managing product and master data.

Built on PHP and licensed under an open-core model, Pimcore is highly flexible and extensible, appealing to teams that want to unify multiple data domains rather than buy separate point tools. It is used by a large global base of companies to manage catalog data and digital experiences.
