Free and Open Source Product Information Management(PIM) System

OpenPIM | 62 points

Why do they use the abbreviation "PIM" for something which was called Product Data Management (PDM) for the last thirty years? Seems to be a new use of the abbreviation (i.e. all PIM references in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_information_management are less than a year old). It was already used for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_information_manager. Did they switch from PDM to PIM in business and operations management education, or is this just an idea of the developers of the referenced software?

Almost everything listed in the Features page is not relevant to the typical PIM end-user. The page seems to be designed for the IT guy, who plays only a tech advisory role in the decision process for selecting a solution like this. What product information management problems does this solution promise to solve?

Hi,

You can find free open source Product Information Management (PIM) software here - https://www.openpim.org

It has more features than the free version of Akeneo and is much easier to use than Pimcore (it's 2 familiar free PIM system).

Any feedback are very much welcome.

Cheers

Please take a moment and open the demo on a smartphone. It might not be the actual device for the end user but people will read this on HN and just click the link...and then get a very little disappointed

I think this should have "Show HN" in the title. For people looking for an open source PIM, https://www.akeneo.com/ is also worth considering.
