What implementation includes

Platform selection

The right platform depends on your data, channels and team. We define requirements, run the evaluation and give platform-agnostic advice, using the same PIM RFP and selection process across vendors.

  • Current-state review and future-state requirements
  • RFP preparation and scripted vendor demonstrations
  • Scoring, recommendation and implementation roadmap

PIM implementation

We implement Salsify, Akeneo, Stibo Systems and Syndigo PIM platforms. Sitation is a Salsify Platinum Partner, Akeneo Gold Partner, Stibo Systems Gold Partner and Syndigo Silver Partner.

  • Taxonomy, attribute and inheritance models
  • Validation rules and approval workflows
  • Channel mapping and syndication testing
  • Data migration from spreadsheets and legacy systems
  • Role-based training and launch support

MDM implementation

Master data management gives product, customer and supplier records one governed source of truth. We implement MDM and connect it to ERP, CRM, PIM and engineering systems, following our MDM practice.

  • Domain and data model design
  • Cleansing, matching and de-duplication
  • Governance roles, rules and stewardship workflows
  • Integration with ERP, CRM and PIM

DAM implementation

A digital asset management platform keeps images, videos and documents organized, approved and ready for every channel. We implement Aprimo, Bynder and Cloudinary and connect them to your PIM.

  • Asset taxonomy, metadata and naming standards
  • Rights, access and approval workflows
  • Asset migration and PIM integration
  • Training for administrators and creators

GDSN implementation

Retailers and distributors rely on GDSN for accurate, standard product data. As a GS1 US Gold Solution Partner, we set up data pool connections, align your data with GS1 standards and keep publishing reliable.

  • GS1 attribute mapping and validation
  • Data pool setup and trading-partner connections
  • PIM-to-GDSN publishing workflows
  • Error handling and ongoing standards updates

Marketplace integration

Selling on Amazon, Walmart and other marketplaces means meeting different data, content and compliance rules. We connect your PIM and commerce systems so listings publish accurately and stay current.

  • Marketplace data mapping and feed setup
  • Automated listing updates from your PIM
  • Compliance checks before publishing

Do you recommend a specific platform?

No. We work across Salsify, Akeneo, Stibo Systems, Syndigo and other platforms, and recommend the one that fits your data, channels and team.

How long does an implementation take?

It depends on scope, data and integrations. Lordco's Akeneo implementation, for example, was completed in 12 weeks.

Can you work with our internal IT team?

Yes. We often work alongside internal developers and business owners, with a shared plan and clear responsibilities.

What happens after launch?

Your team can run the platform, or Sitation managed services can support and improve it. Many clients do both.
