PIM system effect on jewelry business

impact of Product Information Management (PIM) systems on the jewelry business

“Why should I use Valigara?  I can hire 5 people equipped with Excel files!” 

 

A good phrase to start the conversation. Even that it completely misses the point of implementing any technology. 

 

Because the answer extends beyond mere technology.

 

Simply said, Valigara or any other software for jewelry business is not only for “doing” things. It’s also, and mainly, for “understanding” things, “streamlining,” and “enabling.” And this part simply can’t be achieved by adding more low-skilled manpower. 

 

Unobviously, technology’s main impact is not through the increased performance of the staff members, but by empowering the top management with the ability to react effectively and build effective processes and right insights to make better business decisions. 

 

So, how is the X10 ROI in Valigara possible? We collected the most common growth topics for our clients.
