Pimcore is a freely usable open source software platform. It contains modules for PIM , MDM , DAM , CMS , and digital commerce .

technology

Pimcore is operated in the web browser and is based on the PHP programming language and the MySQL / MariaDB database system. It consists of a modular software architecture that uses leading development frameworks such as the Symfony project and the package management system Composer based on a "best-of-breed" approach. The architecture uses the conventions of object-oriented software development, taking into account the MVC design pattern (Model View Controller).

Pimcore follows the guidelines and definitions of the PHP Framework Interop Group (PSR 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7). The company has been a member of this PHP standardization committee since August 2016.

Since its initial release in 2010, Pimcore has taken a fully API-based approach. All functionalities can be addressed by a PHP and a REST API. This enables simple connection to any existing third-party systems, such as SAP , Navision , Salesforce or Oracle . The core of Pimcore can be expanded with third-party components and plugins.

Pimcore has a management interface to configure the system and manage data. The user interface is based on the Sencha Ext-JS -6 development framework.

Functions

Pimcore's product portfolio consists of free open source software solutions for multi-domain master data management and solutions for cross-channel digital commerce and content management. The software platform includes functionalities for product information management (PIM), web content management (CMS), digital asset management (DAM) and e-commerce and is available free of charge under the open source GPLv3 license and the proprietary PEL license (Pimcore Enterprise license) available. Pimcore is now (May 2016) used more than 80,000 times worldwide in 174 different countries and has been translated into 20 different languages.

Master data management (MDM) / product information management (PIM)

Pimcore's MDM / PIM functionalities deal with the life cycle of a company's master and product data. The focus is on the consolidation of data, the creation of a central data repository and issues of data quality management. Pimcore enables the configuration of any complex data models and the merging of data for companies from different industries and with different business models. Pimcore contains more than 40 data components and is compatible with classification systems such as eCl @ ss and GS1 . With Pimcore, both content and structures, versions, descriptions and translations can be managed centrally.

Web content management

Pimcore's CMS functionalities are based on the media-neutral management of data and the support of the single-source and multi-channel publishing principle. Pimcore can therefore be used to create and manage cross-media and cross-channel content that can be consumed on digital devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) as well as offline at the POS and in print.

Digital asset management

Pimcore's DAM functionalities include the central management, classification and conversion of digital media in all formats and sizes. The objective is the simplified management of media and the delivery of the correct media in the appropriate formats to the respective output channels.

E-commerce framework

The Pimcore e-commerce framework is a component-based development framework for the rapid development of flexible B2B and B2C e-commerce applications.

Customer Data Framework

The Customer Data Framework from Pimcore is a component-based development framework to quickly develop applications for customer data management, customer data segmentation, personalization and marketing automation.

Pimcore platform

The Pimcore platform combines PIM, CMS, DAM and e-commerce in a single open source application and thus positions itself as a system solution for the consolidation of IT landscapes. In this sense, Pimcore is an advocate for integrated system solutions rather than the best-of-breed approach .
