Mas­ter PIM GmbH, the tech­nol­ogy leader for cloud-based Prod­uct Infor­ma­tion Man­age­ment (PIM), has raised over 1 Mio. EUR from bm|t, Bran­den­burg Ven­tures, Paysmark, and sev­eral pri­vate investors. Mas­ter PIM will use the cap­i­tal to fur­ther develop and com­mer­cial­ize its cut­ting-edge PIM sys­tem, which greatly sim­pli­fies the task of orga­niz­ing and trans­port­ing com­plex prod­uct datasets for man­u­fac­tur­ers, mar­ket­places, and retail­ers.

Mas­ter PIM empow­ers its cus­tomers to man­age all their prod­uct-related data cen­trally and seam­lessly push the data through all sales chan­nels. The unique com­bi­na­tion of highly-flex­i­ble soft­ware, intu­itive usabil­ity and a scal­able cloud-based infra­struc­ture allows Mas­ter PIM to offer the soft­ware solu­tion at an attrac­tive price, which cur­rent PIM providers can­not match.

Until now, due to the com­plex­ity of prod­uct infor­ma­tion datasets, PIM sys­tems have been one of the last areas to adopt the newest soft­ware stan­dards. Mas­ter PIM is well posi­tioned to cap­i­tal­ize on this much needed tran­si­tion, and with cus­tomers like Flex, Kathrein, FHB, Lindig Fördertech­nik, Lift Air, and many oth­ers, the com­pany is well on its way to achiev­ing its goal of becom­ing the mar­ket leader in mod­ern, cloud-based PIM solu­tions.

bm|t, again led this round and remains the sec­ond largest share­holder after the founder, Dr. Sven Lach­hein. “For us it is a great plea­sure to see how Mas­ter PIM has con­tin­u­ally devel­oped and now clearly offers the best per­for­mance-to-price ratio in this attrac­tive mar­ket. With this invest­ment the com­pany is well-posi­tioned to drive strong sales growth,” said Stephan Beier from bm|t.
