My company is a distribution company that handle about 35k products across 20/30 different vendors. We do not produce anything. Now the board want a marketplace/e-commerce with a ton of technical details of our spelled products.
These vendors are not so well developed on websites/e-commerce and the best source of information for all of them are PDFs of their products catalogues, we all the technical data resides.
Now, im intrigue in how we could load all of the data into our future system and how we should maintain it (avoid staling information and products revisions)
How do Companies manage to load into a PIM that large amount of data entry? I mean, in our business fields products have a lot of (from 6 to 20) different attributes/dimensions, I cannot image 10 people working months just to add data. There are some smart alternatives to pure human data entry ?
