If you don't do cyclical data audits in your PIM/MDM your attributes WILL turn into a mess! Duplicate and near duplicate attributes. Values that are unnormalized and span multiple concepts. Categories that overlap and create confusion. If your PIM is a mess and you don't know how to untangle it, let me know! We can take a look under the hood and let you know how bad it is and how we can help.

I highly recommend reading this white paper: https://lnkd.in/eMMFAS-R To my fellow leaders in distribution and manufacturing: We know our operations run on long-standing relationships and legacy tech like EDI and Punchout. But what if those core processes could become intelligent, real-time, and frictionless? That's the promise of Agentic Commerce. This isn't speculation or theory; this resource outlines what will be a fundamental modernization of our core operations that we haven't seen since the creation of the internet. Key insights for B2B leaders: 🔹 From EDI to Intelligent APIs: Imagine shifting from static, batch-oriented EDI documents to dynamic, AI-driven conversations. An agent can do more than just send a PO—it can query for substitutes if an item is out of stock, negotiate backorder terms, or even source from another supplier in real-time. 🔹 The Invisible Punchout: The traditional "punchout" process becomes invisible. An AI agent can receive a procurement request, query your catalog via an API, apply contract pricing, and create the requisition in the buyer's system, all without a human ever leaving their native environment. 🔹 Sales Teams as Strategic Advisors: Agentic AI will automate the tactical parts of sales—generating quotes based on contract terms, routing approvals, and tracking status. This frees your sales professionals from transactional tasks, allowing them to focus on what humans do best: building relationships, handling complex negotiations, and co-creating solutions for your clients. This technology acts as a "Rosetta Stone," translating unstructured human requests into the structured logic your ERP and WMS systems require. This is the future of B2B. Please don't get left behind. #B2B #Manufacturing #Distribution #SupplyChain #DigitalTransformation #AgenticCommerce #AI #EDI #Eprocurement #FutureOfSales

We make sure your product data is structured so your own site search finds the right products, and AI tools stop producing irrelevant recommendations that you end up fixing manually. How? Once your foundations are solid, AI can manage product data at scale without breaking it. But you have to do it right. That is where we come in.

Want AI to help your products become more visible? Your product data has to be right first. Once the foundations are in place, AI can improve search, deliver accurate recommendations, and support product data management at scale. But if the data is messy, AI just multiplies the problems. That is where we come in.

If product data is messy, your products become invisible in search results — and even your own site search stops working the way it should. Pivotree helps you fix the foundations of your product data so you don't fall behind innovative competitors. That way, you use AI the right way.

Digital leaders... Why do so many B2B digital projects die in the boardroom? We get excited about "digital transformation" and new tech, but we fail to connect it to what leaders actually care about: outcomes. In this clip from the latest Frictionless B2B Commerce episode, I share my playbook for getting the digital vision funded. The secret? Stop selling one vision. 🙃 Start selling three specific solutions. You need an "ROI Trifecta" tailored to each leader: For the CFO/COO: Talk about killing operational friction and dropping dollars to the bottom line. For the CEO: Talk about brand promise, competitive advantage, and winning future (Millennial/Gen Z) buyers. For the Head of Sales: Talk about enablement, leverage, and helping their team close more deals, faster. Digital commerce doesn't replace your human relationships—it complements them. That's your "wild card" against the transactional giants. What are YOUR tips for getting traction on digital initiatives? 🔗 Listen to the full episode on building a funded, actionable roadmap in the comments! #B2BCommerce #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #ROI #SalesEnablement #B2B #Distribution #Manufacturing #CEO #CFO #CRO #B2BSales #AgenticCommerce #B2BAI
