The Approval Gate Bottleneck
Products stall in the Commercial Enrichment state for weeks because mandatory marketing attributes and localized bullet points must be populated manually before promoting to the Approved Workspace.
Bridge the gap between master data governance and digital shelf velocity. PIMplify enriches your Stibo STEP SmartSheet and IIEP exports with localized, spec-grounded marketing copy—passing Approval Gates without touching Golden Records.
Export from Stibo Systems STEP, upload to PIMplify, and let AI generate complete descriptions with 1:1 preserved columns.

Your organization invested millions in Stibo Systems STEP to master enterprise data, enforce multi-workspace governance (Main vs. Approved), and eliminate data silos across ERP and PLM systems. Your engineering attributes, CAD specs, and logistics dimensions are 100% accurate.
However, STEP's strict Business Conditions and Completeness Rules create a severe commercial bottleneck: products cannot pass the Approval Gate into the Approved Workspace without localized, channel-ready marketing copy. With thousands of technical SKUs entering STEP weekly, manual copywriting backlogs leave high-margin inventory stalled in workflow queues for weeks.
Products stall in the Commercial Enrichment state for weeks because mandatory marketing attributes and localized bullet points must be populated manually before promoting to the Approved Workspace.
STEP stores pristine operational parameters (tolerances, alloy grades, IP ratings), but lacks native generative intelligence to translate technical tables into persuasive B2B and e-commerce narratives.
Managing copy across 5 to 10 Language Contexts and multiple target syndication channels multiplies copywriting volume into tens of thousands of missing text attributes per catalog release.
Certified Stibo Data Stewards and merchandisers spend up to 70% of their time manually writing repetitive product descriptions instead of overseeing data governance and classification hierarchies.
PIMplify operates as a seamless, non-invasive enrichment loop designed specifically for Stibo STEP environments. Working with native Excel SmartSheets or automated Inbound/Outbound Integration Endpoints (IIEP/OIEP), PIMplify generates compliant marketing attributes that satisfy your Business Rules on the first pass.
Filter items stalled in the Commercial Enrichment state. Export via standard Web UI SmartSheet or automated Outbound Integration Endpoint (OIEP), preserving STEP Object IDs and technical spec columns.
Upload to PIMplify. Map source engineering attributes to target commercial fields across desired Language Contexts. Generates grounded, hallucination-free narratives and benefit bullets with strict character limits.
Import the enriched delta file directly back into the Main Workspace. Selective attribute mapping updates only commercial fields, satisfies Completeness DQRs, and promotes records through the Approval Gate.
Want a fully automated, real-time sync instead of manual files? Connect directly via our REST and GraphQL APIs or Webhooks. If your specific Stibo Systems STEP instance, internal ERP, or custom setup requires a dedicated connector, our engineering team builds and maintains it for you at no extra cost—while your team can already start enriching immediately today via Excel, CSV, or JSON.
Re-import delta files update strictly commercial attribute groups. Core ERP keys, engineering tolerances, and survivorship weights remain 100% untouched and locked.
Generated copy adheres strictly to your STEP Business Conditions and Completeness Rules, flipping validation flags to green automatically.
Deploy instantly using standard Web UI SmartSheet imports, or connect directly to SFTP/S3 endpoints for touchless enterprise workflow automation.
Enrich 50,000 SKUs at raw LLM token rates (~$0.00042/field), slashing external copywriting agency retainers by over 85%.
The Challenge: A global industrial equipment manufacturer with 65,000 technical SKUs suffered severe time-to-market delays. While SAP S/4HANA fed technical parameters into STEP instantly, over 8,500 products were stuck in the Marketing Enrichment workflow queue across 5 languages, delaying product launches by up to 8 weeks.
The Solution: The enterprise integrated PIMplify into their STEP enrichment loop using SmartSheets and OIEP/IIEP automation to batch-generate localized B2B descriptions, feature-benefit bullets, and SEO metadata.
The Result: Commercial workflow cycle time dropped from 42 days to 48 hours. Catalog completeness reached 99.6% across 5 languages, saving over €220,000 in agency copywriting costs while accelerating time-to-market by 95%.
"Stibo STEP gave us absolute master data governance, but PIMplify gave us the content velocity we needed to actually sell. Our workflow queues went from perpetual backlog to same-week publishing."— VP of Enterprise Data & Architecture, Global Industrial Manufacturer
Yes. PIMplify is architecture-agnostic. Because it integrates via standard Excel SmartSheets, CSV, or decoupled IIEP/OIEP file delivery (SFTP/S3/Azure Blob), it requires zero custom Java plugins in the Workbench and works seamlessly with on-premise, hosted, and cloud STEP instances.
No. PIMplify generates delta files containing only the unique STEP Object ID and designated target marketing attribute columns. Core ERP attributes, classification paths, and survivorship rules are excluded, preventing unwanted workflow resets or re-evaluations.
Yes. PIMplify natively generates localized content across multiple Language Contexts (e.g. en-US, de-DE, fr-FR, da-DK, sv-SE, es-ES, nl-NL) directly from a single technical master record, mapped 1:1 to your STEP dimension points.
PIMplify employs enterprise-grade security: TLS 1.3 encryption in transit, AES-256 at rest, and zero retention for AI model training. Your proprietary product specifications and unreleased product data are strictly private and GDPR/SOC 2 compliant.
Clear your workflow queues, satisfy your Approval Gates, and generate enterprise-grade marketing copy for 50,000+ SKUs in days.
