Product Content Automation:
A central component of novomind products enables the connection of any AI systems (such as OpenAI, Perplexity, etc.) and the realisation of a wide range of use cases. Examples of use cases that have already been realised include the generation of texts from attributes, the extraction of attributes from supplied texts or documents, the support of mappings, the generation of alternative texts for an accessible product presentation on the website and much more.

Data protection:
novomind offers demonstrable best-in-class data protection. Regardless of whether it is a question of access, entry, transfer, input, order or availability control - technical or organisational provisions have been made for every conceivable situation. Definition and documentation are well above the industry standard. The company is openly committed to the GDPR, and corresponding functionalities and best practice guidelines are available. Most recently in February 2021, novomind had all office and server locations audited by TÜV Rheinland. In addition to the existing TISAX certification for the automotive industry, novomind has also been ISO/IEC 27001 certified since March 2022.

Digital Commerce:
You can see novomind's proximity to e-commerce everywhere; you could even say that omni-channel commerce is in the genes of novomind iPIM. No wonder that many brand manufacturers are represented alongside B2B commerce customers, for whom the D2C (direct to customer) sales model is becoming increasingly important. In addition to novomind iPIM, novomind also offers its own shop solution, marketplace middleware and - via its own novomind AppStore - an increasing number of other supplementary products and services that support the topic of online commerce in the broadest sense.

User experience:
novomind offers a modern, lightweight user interface in all modules, which is easy to use and always clear. This increases user acceptance and facilitates implementation and change management.

Supplier and self-service portal:
The portal for on-boarding product master data is called novomind iPIM Supply. It is worth noting that the information provided by the supplier is first loaded into a staging area. Only after approval by the product manager are the products updated in novomind iPIM. The process is supported by a workflow engine. We rate iPIM Supply as a must-have for all retail companies and purchasing organisations. The self-service portal is specially optimised for use by suppliers. The interface is intuitive to use and extensive functionalities are available for maintenance and import.

Product Data Syndication:
novomind iPIM supplies various export channels with product data. The shop system novomind iSHOP and the marketplace middleware novomind iMARKET are particularly well integrated. However, other webshops such as Magento are also supported. With novomind iMARKET, novomind offers powerful middleware for supplying marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Otto, zalando, Kaufland and many others with product data. novomind iMARKET goes beyond conventional feed solutions and also carries out transactions. A cockpit also provides an overview of sales, stock levels and turnover figures and visualises trends.

BPMN workflow:
The visual BPMN modeller enables real workflow management instead of just status management. The advantages are sequential and parallel workflows, complex decision paths, personal to-dos, deadlines, delegation and escalation management. Defined workflows are indispensable, especially in large environments with many product changes every day. novomind can also be connected to external cross-tool workflow management solutions in addition to the integrated workflow system, whereby this always leads to interaction with the internal workflow system.

Sustainability:
novomind is strongly committed to climate and environmental protection. Since 2021, the company has started to set up its environmental management system (EMS) in accordance with EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). novomind reached a milestone in the continuous improvement of its environmental performance with the successful EMAS and ISO 14001 audits. The choice of ultra-modern data centres with strict environmental and energy management standards for servers operated by novomind further underlines the company's commitment to sustainability.

Enterprise Data Model:
The novomind iPIM data model also allows the following options:
> Complex (nested) attributes (e.g. nut mix32g, of which hazelnuts 12g etc.)
> Attributes depending on maintained attributes. Attribute is a table with n hierarchically arranged rows. Columns are displayed depending on attribute values
> Classification-dependent restriction of value lists

Digital Shelf Analytics:
In novomind iPIM, it is now also possible to use functionalities from the Digital Shelf Analytics area. Thanks to IDQ (Information Data Quality), images, bullet lists and text lengths are already checked in the PIM system for compliance with Amazon and Galaxus guidelines, for example - even before the products go online. The solution also offers a plagiarism search to identify copies at an early stage, as well as a competitor analysis that makes price comparisons and market trends transparent.
