In brief: A taxonomy is a hierarchical organisation of terms, usually the structure of categories and product groups in PIM. It determines how products are found and filtered, and which attributes are assigned to them.
A stable internal taxonomy provides the foundation. Channel structures and standards are derived from it through mapping, rather than maintained separately. Hierarchies that are too deep make maintenance harder, while those that are too shallow make navigation more difficult.

PIM KNOWLEDGE
PIM specializes in marketing and product data; MDM covers all master data (customers, products, suppliers). PIM solves your e-commerce challenges quickly and efficiently.
Headless commerce decouples frontend and backend for maximum flexibility. An API-based PIM is the essential data source that supplies every channel in real time.
PIM is just a tool; data governance is the instruction manual. Without clear rules and roles, poor data quality undermines efforts to scale digitally.
PIM manages data (the facts), while PXM creates experiences (the emotions). PXM is a customer-focused strategy built on the foundation of a PIM system.
PIM consulting is not a lead-in to selling software licences: what a consultant actually contributes to selection and implementation, three situations where external support helps, and how to choose the right consultant.
AI is revolutionising PIM, from automatic categorisation to text generation. Discover how to dramatically speed up your product data workflows.
Product data (PIM) and images (DAM) belong together. Integration is the key to automation and a seamless customer experience.
What does a PIM really deliver? ROI is the key: measurable cost savings and faster time-to-market make the investment profitable.
PIM systems are the key to efficient listing on marketplaces such as Amazon. Can they ensure consistent, automated product data management?
