Data Import. Sophisticated data import features enable the creation of catalogs by uploading data from different source types (text, CSV, XLS, XML, etc.) Easy-to-use assistants guide the import process. Field mapping and formulas allow calculations or transformation of data. Multi-language data is supported. Mass imports with large volumes of data can be off-loaded to the server for more efficient processing.

Pricing Import. Pricing import utilities allow advanced management of pricing lists and discounts. Pricing and discount tables can be imported to create unique product catalogs containing customer or channel specific price lists.


Cleansing. Data cleansing agents use pre-defined rules to provide interactive control of product information during the cleansing process. Users can control both the format and the business rules to apply to the data: mandatory values and specific values belonging to an enumerated list, codes and characteristics compared to a classification, permitted and prohibited characters, and variations between two versions of data. Visual indicators highlight data quality issues and enable users to easily modify and reorganize data: spelling correction, value replacement, abbreviation standardization, fixing of prohibited characters, fields concatenation, and mass transformation of full or selected data sets.

Enrichment. After cleaning and standardization, data can be enriched through the addition of information (such as multilingual descriptions, images, documents) or via comparison with a classification method to associate complementary descriptive attributes.

Search. Search applies filters to data values by indicating either codes or synonyms. Search results are reflected directly in the catalog visualization tab. Searches can be saved and re-used at any time.

De-duplication. The Cameleon PIM Data Optimizer provides a powerful tool to analyze matching data from multiple systems. Statistical algorithms highlight common vales (similar or close) contained in different catalogs. Users can remove duplicate values with just a few clicks, greatly increasing productivity for tasks that are generally time consuming resource intensive.

Classification/Mapping. Multiple types of data classification formats can be easily managed whether internal or external simple (UNSPSC) or descriptive (eCl@ass, TROCS, ETIM, etc.) An Advanced classification-mapping assistant enables the user to define transformation rules between two classification standards and apply rules to any data set.


Cameleon PIM Workflow automates the organization, planning an execution of all Product Information Management processes. Efficiently manage individuals, roles and tasks as well as advanced functions including planning, alerts, scheduling and backward scheduling, traceability and messaging. Visual process tracking makes it easy to identify bottlenecks or constraints. Cameleon PIM Workflow provides a mechanism to synchronize data with the company’s other systems.


Product information stored in Cameleon PIM can be published and distributed in multiple export formats to many different destinations including electronic catalogs, paper catalogs, ecommerce platforms, procurement systems etc. Data mapping provides fine-grained control of the export format. Various export options are available: export with comparison (variations between two versions of a catalog) and export with connection (fusion of multiple catalogs). Export tasks can be grouped and launched simultaneously with a single click.


Cameleon PIM Enterprise Edition. is deployed through n-tier architecture. Because data manipulation can be a resource-intensive task, users have access to Cameleon PIM Rich Client to take advantage of local computing resources, or can use the Cameleon PIM Web Client for browser-based access. Communication between web clients and the server are made via web services.

Personal Edition. Cameleon PIM Personal edition works independently on a single PC to provide an unrivaled individual productivity.

Cameleon PIM is part of the Cameleon Commerce Suite. An exchange interface with Cameleon Collaborative Modeler will allow management of product catalogs, configured products, pricing and promotions and other data to greatly enhance productivity and reduce time-to-market.
