Unbxd PIM provides various components and functionalities to manage and utilize your product information efficiently. Here’s a breakdown of how you can effectively navigate through these components:
You can upload a . CSV, .TSV, .XLSX, .JSON ,.XML, or .ZIP file to initiate the import process. Unbxd PIM also allows you to import product information from SFTP locations or using public URLs. Moreover, you can schedule imports from pre-configured SFTP locations depending on your business requirements.

Scheduled imports enable automatic data intake from external sources into the PIM system at predetermined intervals. The data can be imported from various sources like ERP systems, supplier portals, or spreadsheets. These imports can be scheduled to run daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on your update requirements.
Invite members and assign roles to form the “PIM team.” This team will be responsible for keeping the PIM up-to-date in your organization.
A member is an individual who is assigned to manage or perform Product Information Management (PIM) related activities within an organization. Members play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation and efficient management of product data and assets.
Example: create a product attribute called product_color.
Attribute groups organize similar product information together. This enhances the organization and consistency of the information, making it easier to manage and display.
Example: product_model, product_weight, and product_resolution can be grouped into a attribute group named “Attribute Details.”
Create categories and subcategories to define the product classifications. A product can be associated with multiple categories or subcategories, and categories or subcategories can be associated with multiple attributes.
Add a product (includes variant products) or edit products (includes bulk editing) on the Product Listing page. You can also group the products into static or dynamic product groups.
