Save money by eliminating the need for a third-party Business Central PIM
Many businesses initially assume they need separate systems for ERP, ecommerce, and Product Information Management (PIM). But with Commerce 365 for Magento, you get a full-featured Business Central PIM solution — built directly into your favorite ERP. This means one unified system for managing your entire ecommerce catalog — and serious savings in both time and money.

In this article, we’ll dive into the capabilities of this built-in PIM for Business Central, and show why tens of thousands of euros in third-party PIM costs can be eliminated entirely.
What is a PIM and why do businesses use it?
A Product Information Management (PIM) system helps businesses centralize and enrich product data for distribution across multiple sales channels. Here are some examples that companies use a PIM for:
- Manage product titles, descriptions, and specifications.
- Handle multi-language content.
- Use attributes and attribute sets to easily enrich products.
- Store images, videos, and documents.
- Create logical categories and product relationships.
For a long time, this meant investing in standalone PIM software — with implementation projects ranging from €30,000 to €50,000 and monthly recurring fees between €1,000–€2,000.
But when you’re already using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Magento — or consider using one of these systems in the future — there’s a much smarter way.
