Sales Layer

Vorteile

Easy to use and learn for all kinds of staff. Feels new, fresh and innovative.

It was easy to get started with a free trial account and no need for meetings and writing specifications. I had it up and running within a couple of days.

So much better than trying to maintain a product database in Excel. We can export the entire product catalogue in a matter of seconds and have our website and ERP up to date every day, including all price calculations based on currency, margins and freight cost.

Nachteile

Some view changes (from variant to product) could be improved. Excel import would benefit if import profiles could be saved under different names. These are minor problems.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Sales Layer

Vorteile

Our company operates three eCommerce websites for our different regional storefronts. We are faced with a unique situation where some of our brands can only be sold in one region or another, while the rest of our products can be sold across all three locations.Prior to finding Sales Layer, we had tried other management platforms, none of which were able to provide us with the flexibility, or reliability that we required. Those previous platforms all had failings from syncing the wrong products to the wrong site, to fully breaking down entirely.Since switching to Sales Layer over a year ago, our product management across the three websites has become virtually seamless and we've experienced none of the issues encountered on the other platforms.We can now easily tell Sales Layer which products to sync to which websites, easily remove products from all three sites that have been discontinued by our suppliers, and also ensure that the product information is synced and accurate across all three sites as well. Sales Layer has also provided us with the flexibility to slightly differentiate products on each website as well, something we did not have from previous platforms. For instance, if we want to discount pricing on a product in one region to be competitive but not another, or if a product may be more commonly known by a different name in one region, we can now make those changes while keeping all other product data synced across the sites.

Nachteile

There are a few custom fields that we have on the products on our website that Sales Layer is not able to directly sync to. That being said, the Sales Layer team did work with us to create a custom connection to be able to sync the fields that we deemed most necessary from the platform to our websites. There are still a handful of product fields we need to update on the websites manually. However, the information in these product fields rarely changes so it doesn't affect us too badly. Overall, Sales Layer has been immensely helpful in making our product management much easier.

Vorteile

At first, I thought the simplicity was great, but quickly realized it's incredibly limiting.

Nachteile

There are industry standard functionalities, like dynamic formulas, that are totally lacking in SalesLayer. It made the product unusable for us.

Vorteile

The UI/UX of the platform is very user friendly, and easy to navigate and understand. My job is to manage the platform and ensure that the data in the system is accurate, up to date, and ready to share. I have worked in the platform daily for the past 7 months. I like that the platform is intuitive and the help available from Sales Layer staff is outstanding. If there are roadblocks that I face in the process of creating channels or modifying data, the Sales Layer staff is quick to respond and knowledgeable on topics and formulas.

For those at my company who are not working in the platform frequently, they find the platform easy to navigate and intuitive.

Nachteile

I wish there were more abilities to create automatic workflows for linking Sales Materials to products, and creating new products/SKU's based on existing product data. Currently there are a lot of manual processes that I have to rely on that my team would benefit from automation.

There have been instances where formulas that I expect to work in a certain way and when tested, they give the output I am looking for, but in the download, work differently.

Vorteile

Catalog management, export and import information

Nachteile

Search of the product section and more information to export

Vorteile

What I liked most about Sales Layer is its user-friendly interface and powerful automation features, which make managing and updating product information across multiple channels incredibly efficient and hassle-free.

Nachteile

What I liked least about Sales Layer is that the initial setup can be time-consuming, especially for larger product catalogs, and the learning curve can be a bit steep for new users unfamiliar with PIM systems.

Vorteile

The flexibility on adding custom fields and information, allowing the developers and IT departments to work in tandem with the product and marketing teams.

Nachteile

Some small bugs in the web interface, and a little bit of lack of permission-tree building options.

Vorteile

SalesLayer provided us with a centralised platform to manage all our product information. Earlier, our data was across different systems and spreadsheets, leading to inefficiencies and data issues. With SalesLayer, we could consolidate all our product data in one place, we now have uniformity and accuracy.

Updating product information, a task that once took hours, was significantly streamlined. We could bulk update product details, prices, and images, which was a massive time-saver, especially when preparing for new collections or sales seasons.

Nachteile

The UI sometimes takes a little time to load if I am nit picking would like this to be a lot quicker.

Vorteile

The export channels where you can define your own small scripts before exporting. It's simple and the documentation is really good on how to implement them.

Nachteile

One thing that is lacking is a simpler way of moving around categories. Drag and drop would fix that.

Vorteile

Sales Layer helps optimize product information management since we have the catalog of our 4 online stores in the same tool. This helps us centralize product information and identify and make commercial proposals focused on a specific store.

Nachteile

At the beginning, updates did not synchronize from our SAP ECC, and when importing family forms, fields were duplicated and/or new fields were created that did not exist in the defined configuration.

Vorteile

La facilidad de las gestión del catalogo y las integraciones

Nachteile

Se puede mejorar los tiempos de adaptación a los cambios de distintos e commerce, como Vtex o Mercado Libre.

Vorteile

Very easy-to-use software with an amazing support team. Good multi-language support.

Nachteile

Sync progress visibility, and ability to change image order within the program.

Vorteile

Sales Layer keeps on adding new features, the system was value added for our business in the beginning but now its more than that, its a core pillar of IT!
Easy to use without being limiting in its functionality.
Outstandning support, that always gives great answers and follows up.

Nachteile

The power of live connections to websites etc. is also a big risk when working with PIM systems. If I make a misstake in the PIM the error will soon be live on the website. I miss some sort of panic button or some function that halts the flow of data when I have made a misstake.

Vorteile

Integrating to mainstream systems can be done using the connectors available from the connectors list. Connecting to Shopify was easy enough that we were able with some SL support to set it up ourselves. Day to day management of our product data is so much easier we can filter our products which have no images or which are missing certain fields. We can easily edit groups of products using the grid mode.

Nachteile

When adding new images into the library againsts a product you have to add then one at a time. Having a multi select option would cut down the time it takes especially when adding 5-6 images.

Vorteile

Easy to use and easy to integrate with my online stores. It allows me to have the stock fully updated and update the information of my products live

Nachteile

The integration with online stores sometimes creates conflicts due to the variety of versions. Nothing that you can not solve with your technical service

Vorteile

Ease of working and fulfilling everything a company may need

Nachteile

That I have not met before, could save us a lot of time and money until we found it.

Vorteile

The ease of importing and updating data.

Nachteile

Not being able to create dependent fields and having a connector with Easy Catalog at the standard variant level

Vorteile

We needed a solution to centralize all product database, manage the information with different users and permissions in real time and with concurrent users. After we had a quick demo, we knew we wanted this PIM.
Sales Layer is very flexible, with a lot of options, but at the same time is easy to configure and, adapting to almost all needs.
And, in our case, the most important factor was that for the final user it was very smooth to transition from the previous solution to Sales Layer, we are all very happy about the decision we made.
And last but not least, Sales Layer's Customer Support team is really helpful, any doubt or problem is quickly and precisely solved.

Nachteile

Right now, we don't have any cons, we needed a feature to add product information in table format, but they released this functionality a few weeks ago.

Vorteile

Thanks to Sales Layer’s PIM we now have mechanisms to extract the product information quickly, and in standard formats. This has speeded up our work and we can transfer updated information to our clients when they request the latest features

The software includes a variety of channels, and the instant catalog feature is great for us.

The customer service is also fantastic, and the chat makes requests for help very easy. They have always responded quickly and adequately.

Nachteile

The general working of the system is very good, but we are lacking in certain aspects such as the option to translate and organize certain fields, such as conditional fields.

Vorteile

Working with Sales Layer has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. As intermediary, I see that our clients are very satisfied with the tool’s flexibility, and their support team is very rigorous and honest about the time and resources that any change, technical petition or integration will require. The updates are always clear, the initial process is very easy, and the technical support never lets you down.

Nachteile

Minor issues related to some clients’ internal synchronization problems. We haven’t met any crisis or unsolvable scenario since working with Sales Layer’s PIM.

Vorteile

All the output and input channels you can imagine.
Formulas that allow data transformation when output info and import info.
Multiple images per field. It also works as a DAM.
Fast and responsive: can use in desktop and mobile.
Keeps track of missing translations, missing fields, % of completion of an item.
Summary panels for all the PIM, or by table or by channel.
Workflows.
Supports more than 200 languages.
Granular role permissions.
Online support with direct chat to support team.

Vorteile

It helps to organize, classify, standardize, and publish and share your products. In addition, it is easy to use, intuitive and visually attractive and friendly.

Nachteile

Some limitations, such as not being able to define units of measurement.

Vorteile

The intuitive way in which the platform is managed internally and the fast results it presents.

Nachteile

The manual processes that it sometimes presents. The change of labels and images has been very fast, all boxes and options are clearly displayed with large boxes.

Vorteile

Very easy to use software for marketeers and ecommerce team. Powerfull modelling features and channels to sinchronize all catalog depending on your needs

Nachteile

Full REST API for online request good be great

Vorteile

Does it job.
I am using this from 6 months. And i plan to keep using it.

Nachteile

UI can be improved.
User interface can be improved

Vorteile

La herramienta es bastante intuitiva, lo cual nos facilita visualizar nuestros catálogos, conectores y fotos. A su vez nos permitio colocar un orden a nuestra manera de trabajar y exponer nuestros productos. Otra de las cosas que destaco de la herramienta es la cantidad de información y videos explicativos que nos han ayuado a comprender y reforzar conocimientos

Nachteile

Como punto a mejorar y tomando en cuenta la particularidad de nuestra cuenta, es poder permitirnos exportar información de los productos sin necesidad de tener un conector. Sería algo parecido a la mejora que nos mostraron sobre la exportación de la url imagenes. Esto son serviria a la hora de compartir la información con nuestros franquiciados y mayorista.
Otro punto a mejorar en el catalogo sería la gestión de insumos actualmente solo tiene una solapa informativa y no nos permite darle gestionarlo ni carga imagenes.

Vorteile

Fácil e intuitivo de manejar por usuarios poco expertos, control de calidad de los productos sencillo de entender, y rapidez de implementación e integración con otros sistemas.

Nachteile

Reports de calidad y logs de importaciones poco precisos o con poca información

I appreciate Sales Layer PIM's user-friendly interface, which simplifies the management of product data. On the other hand, Sales Layer offers excellent customer support.

La principal funcionalidad para la que usamos este software es para integrar los datos de nuestros productos con AECOC DATA Y AECOC MEDIA. Esta capacidad de sincronización ha simplificado mucho nuestros procesos internos y ahora es todo mucho más sencillo. La herramienta es fácil de utilizar y tiene un aspecto limpio y cuidado. La vista en modo edición es muy útil para consultar los datos de los productos y el filtrado por todos los campos también se utiliza bastante. Ahora tenemos un único lugar donde mantenemos todas las imágenes de producto y desde ahí se sirven a todos los canales, mejorando la calidad de la información

Nachteile

El proceso de integración con nuestros datos y con AECOC ha sido algo complejo para nuestra categoría, ya que se ha ido desarrollando un poco en conjunto. Ahora que está totalmente desarrollado, funciona correctamente.

Vorteile

The UX is a key factor, as most of the users of the PIM are not highly skilled in IT software. And it is also very important to highlight that you can build your own product model with all the required fields.

Nachteile

It has no native solution for pricing in multiple currencies.

Vorteile

What I like is to be able to store all the product information in a simple way so that all colleagues can use it quickly.

Nachteile

I need to do more research on what I might like less about Sales Layer PIM.

Vorteile

La facilidad para visualizar y hacer cambio sobre los productos.

Nachteile

Algunos filtros no son muy fácil para usar o hacer búsquedas por otro pateo que no sea el S.A.U. del producto

Vorteile

Sales Layer is easy to use and easy to understand. The process to upload information and update it is simple and comfortable. When in doubt, the support team is always available to help you and integration with third parties is simple.

Nachteile

The new interface prioritizes aesthetics. It works correctly but it is an advance of aesthetics as opposed to simplicity.

Vorteile

Es intuitiva y fácil de utilizar. El soporte es bastaste atento.

Nachteile

No tengo nada que decir por el momento, aún no la utilice tanto.

Vorteile

Friendly to use and amazing team behind supporting you.

Nachteile

Images orders and color switchs or Alt text controls or changes in our shopify is not easy or friendly. Expensive in long term for huge cataloges with more than 10k skus if you still increasing catalogues by year.

Vorteile

There are two benefits Saleslayer offers that have made me a dedicated customer for 5+ years. The first and most important is the user interface. Its very easy to use, my team needed an incredibly small amount of training to be proficient. It also has multiple workflows, as a manager with a variety of personality types on my team that's been nice because employees who think differently have been able to find methods for inputting/sorting/filtering/updating data that works for them.
Adding and changing data and files is very simple. Sales Layer has an option for a table view that reminds me a lot of excel where you can choose to make onesy-twosey changes, or change wide swaths of data, both options are very quick to execute.
This is the second employer I've brought Sales layer to, and before recommending it to my current employer I executed an extensive search of PIM options. Compared to major competitors Sales Layer was a fraction of the price, another big bonus. The other companies had extensive implementation feeds, in part by their need to customize the backend. Saleslayer does not have this limitation, everything is self serve. The Sales Layer monthly fee was also about half of what the competitors quoted me.

Nachteile

I am a huge fan so there isn't much I can complain about. The only hurdle that some companies may face is they may need to look into developers to link Sales Layer to custom templates. I have a resource for this so it wasn't a problem. Sales Layer has an API any developer can use to link, so it shouldn't be too big of a hurdle.

La facilidad de aprendizaje , su usabilidad y la gran facilidad para cambiar la información que se deposita en el Sales Layer , aunque tengas un plan y un procedimiento de integración todos sabemos que esto no se cumple al 100 % y siempre hay cambios, y estos muchas veces no son fáciles, con Sales Layer es de algo que te despreocupa, puedes efectuar grandes cambios sin mucho esfuerzo y esto no implica reconfiguraciones tediosas todo lo contrario , es un gran virtud su facilidad de gestión de cambios, además de contar con herramientas como el sistema de traducción y de control de calidad e la información existente, en mi opinión totalmente recomendable no se equivocaran en la elección.

Nachteile

A fecha de hoy nada después de mas de 1 año de uso

Vorteile

Lo que más me ha gustado es lo sencillo que es de ver todo. Es muy visual e intuitivo. Además, te permite adaptarlo a lo que necesitas, que en nuestro caso ha sido bastante, sin necesidad de ir a parar a un técnico. Si tengo dudas, le pregunto al chat o les envío un correo y enseguida me responden y me resuelven la duda.
En nuestro caso, lo hemos conectado a la web, con lo que nos permite tener la web actualizada al momento. Además con los conectores que ofrece, hemos podido compartir esa información con nuestros clientes.
Tenemos un panel general que nos detecta qué información falta. Además, en cada producto te pone el porcentaje de información completada para que sepas cómo tienes el producto.

Nachteile

Lo que menos me ha gustado es que no puedes ordenar los productos arrastrando. en nuestro caso, tenemos más de 2000 y por gategorías y de la forma actual es un poco costoso.

Vorteile

An advantage is that users can choose between the plug and play connectors that save us time setting up the PIM data with third-party services. We use Sales Layer PIM with our own Unify connector to automatically create and update 100's of data-sheets and in turn produce bespoke product/service brochures.

As an agency it's crucial that our clients are able to centralise and independently manage their products and services whilst maintaining data integrity. In the past our clients have struggled when managing data across multiple channels, implementing Sales Layer has allowed Libris to offer clients a simple, flexible solution to organise, control, analyse and connect product data.

Nachteile

We don’t have many complaints yet. We keep trusting Sales Layer PIM for our own team and our clients to ensure a cost-effective and results-driven solution for Product Information Management.

Vorteile

After much research in the PIM space, SalesLayer was by far the best fit for our needs. It combined a good feature set, Plug n play integration with the platforms we needed, fast deployment time, and a fair pricepoint compared to the competition. We were especially impressed by the user-familiar ways of editing data. If you're moving from word documents or excel sheets, then the move to SalesLayer will be especially easy for the users.

Nachteile

Some aspects of the UX are not as polished as one could wish. Documentation can be limited or lacking. It is evident that the product is in rapid development, which is, of course, positive in itself. They make up for it by providing readily available personal support and integrating feedback from their users.

Uno de los puntos que mas me han gustado es la sencillez para importar grandes volúmenes de información y su categorizacion de forma sencilla. Gracias a esta plataforma trabajar con bases de datos con miles de referencias y mucha información es mas sencillo que nunca. También ayuda una interfaz ajustada a los tiempos que corren con un gran componente de usabilidad.

Nachteile

A la vez que la interfaz es uno de los puntos que mas me han gustado, tiene un gran contra y es que no permite ninguna personalización para cada usuario. Estaría bien poder personalizar la plataforma a las necesidades de cada cliente, pudiendo re ordenar paneles o pedir desarrollos específicos para cubrir necesidades mas especializadas.

Vorteile

We handle product information for several clients from very different industries. A central system like Sales Layer's PIM has solved dozens of needs for us on a single platform. Bulk uploading and export and import features are very easy to use. We are starting to test more PIM functionalities that will reinforce our work of connections with marketplaces, such as their Amazon connector, and with ecommerce platforms like Bigcommerce.

Nachteile

We haven’t experienced any technical difficulties or communication problems so far. Implementing and using the software has been phenomenal thanks to the Sales Layer excellent support team. Our own team is very happy with the knowledge provided and the quick turnarounds. The greatest inconvenience is that we have not had time to explore in depth all the PIM’s functions that we could take advantage of.

Nachteile

At the current moment no specific features that we dislike

Vorteile

We develop websites and online stores for big and experienced companies like Teka, and this means we face wide and complex catalogs and a huge amount of references and information variables that must fit perfectly in the design. The ideal scenario for development teams like ours is getting rid of content quality worries entirely. Sales Layer guarantees that level of quality for us, because the PIM has an automatic quality control system that identifies omissions and references that need more data. Since we’ve been working with Sales Layer we’ve been fully confident to focus on the design. The data we connect is always going to be synchronized and the results we show to our clients are perfect from the very first draft.

Nachteile

Sales Layer has a lot of built-in connectors, but from time to time we miss a plugin that we need to program by ourselves. On the bright side, their API is very flexible and easy to integrate and the number of connectors is constantly growing.

Vorteile

Before trying a PIM system we only relied on our ERP and outsourced product information. Sales Layer solved all of our problems connecting products and SKUs to associated information, synchronizing the core data from different manufacturers, and keeping our international distribution network always up to date through a centralized and reliable database.

Above all, Sales layer’s PIM gives us sales value. We have now synchronized more than 70,000 products, 100,000 SKUs, and all of our sales channels: long-distance sales and in-person sales. Sales Layer has even launched an industry-leading product search engine which proves to be very useful for trade shows.

Their top-notch Customer Support team has been an essential companion to walk us through the installation process and daily work.

Nachteile

The setup time of a PIM takes up a lot of resource, the result is what we wanted, but it’s worth noting that it took work between our team and Sales Layer’s support team to get the PIM up and running.

Vorteile

The Easy Catalog connector has speeded up the work in printed catalogs. It has really changed the way we plan, design and publish our paper catalogs and we save time that we were wasting without really knowing it. The PIM allows us to upload all of the data we can imagine and have it in one place, which is great for coordinating our team. The support Sales Layer offers is efficient and they respond quickly to our requests and they keep us updated with new features.

Nachteile

Even though Sales Layer is easy to use, even for users who are not accustomed to the software or complex code, we still needed time to get the most out of the system. We hope that they will implement updates that will improve the interrelationship between products and the sales material tables — they have assured us that it will happen soon.
