An open-source PIM for the Independent Aftermarket, designed around TecAlliance solutions.
01 · Data collection
Fragmented data, hidden costs
When product data is scattered across several platforms, rebuilding a single piece of information means checking them all: more errors, slower access and rising management costs.
Centralising the data in a single structure removes these limits, raises its quality and makes it possible to streamline maintenance. Data organised this way is easy to share across the company.
Before
- Scattered spreadsheets and files
- Duplicated, inconsistent data
- Manual uploads to TecAlliance
- Time lost searching
With PIM4IAM
- One single database
- Controlled data quality
- Unattended IDP publishing
- Time for analysis
02 · PIM4IAM
A PIM that lets you focus on the data, and nothing else
PIM4IAM manages the technical data of your articles. It grew out of more than ten years working alongside leading companies in the Independent Automotive Aftermarket.
Fits your workflows
Follows the product data workflows typical of companies in the sector.
Less repetitive work
Cuts low-value tasks so users can focus on what they are there to do.
Plugs into your IT
A database that integrates cleanly with your company's information systems.
03 · Components
How the components fit together

05 · TecAlliance IDP
Unattended publishing to TecAlliance
IDP (Instant Data Processing) is a key part of TecAlliance's new ecosystem, helping data suppliers publish more accurately, productively and accessibly. Our module talks to the IDP Data Supplier API using Microsoft SQL Server's built-in capabilities.
- Deltas only: only data changed since the last delivery is sent.
- Schedulable: delivery runs automatically, whenever you like.
- Single articles too: targeted delivery when needed.
- Full control: general logs, per-article logs and a traffic-light status.
The IDP module is also available without the PIM4IAM core module.
