Salsify

The unified Salsify Product Experience Management (PXM) platform is specifically designed to serve as a central system for managing all of your product content and distributing it to each downstream channel with speed, agility, and efficiency.

Organically built from the ground up, the Salsify PXM platform helps you conquer the digital shelf by getting you to market faster, reducing costs, uniting your teams, and so much more.

Salsify offers better automation, scalability, repeatability, and a more cohesive user experience than any other PXM vendor can provide.

Inriver

Inriver's core functionality is limited to product information management (PIM).

While Inriver has expanded its platform to include analytics and syndication, the platform lacks enterprise-viable scale and struggles to support broader commerce use cases, like enhanced content, workflow management, and Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN).

Inriver also relies on third-party vendors and acquisitions, which increases integration complexity, reduces automation opportunities, and creates multiple systems of record.

Retail Network: Salsify vs. Inriver

Inriver's syndication solution is early-stage and supports only a few channels. It lacks readiness reports and direct retailer connectivity, requiring significant manual effort to use and maintain mappings. This makes it challenging for brands to syndicate product content efficiently.

Salsify’s extensive PXM network — built over 10-plus years — enables brands to quickly and efficiently publish directly to retailers, distributors, data pools, and marketplaces. Salsify PXM offers robust direct connectivity options and automated requirements updates.

With Salsify’s direct retailer syndication partnerships, you can be confident that your data will consistently meet retailer, category, and regulatory requirements, making life easier and providing shoppers with the most enjoyable experience possible.

Salsify Delivers a Unified PXM Platform

Salsify's unified platform natively integrates its PIM, Syndication, Enhanced Content, GDSN Data Pool, and Digital Shelf Analytics solutions, providing a single source of truth for all your product information and eliminating the complexities of disparate systems.

Since Inriver's core functionality is limited to PIM, it requires third-party solutions or acquired modules to handle these other critical commerce functions. This fragmented approach increases integration complexity and reduces automation opportunities.

With Salsify, you gain efficiency and control by managing your entire product experience from one central platform.

Salsify Provides Robust Workflow and Automation

Salsify is the only platform with a native workflow and automation engine that’s fully configurable through a no-code interface with more than 25 preconfigured templates.

This empowers users to automate tasks, streamline processes, and improve cross-team collaboration.

Inriver lacks a native workflow builder and offers limited automation options, particularly for non-admins. It relies on manually created and assigned tasks, hindering efficient collaboration and process automation.

With Salsify, you can automate complex processes and adapt quickly to changing business needs.

Salsify Offers a Consistent User Experience

Salsify is built on a consistent, cohesive user interface, so any user with appropriate permissions can easily make changes to the data model, validation rules, workflows, or user permissions.

This consistent experience simplifies user adoption and reduces the learning curve.

Inriver has a completely separate admin experience (called the Control Center). This experience is clunky, is hard to use, and requires specialized knowledge, making it more difficult for customers to manage their system and make necessary changes.

Salsify’s unified user experience empowers your team to be more agile and self-sufficient.

HOW SAMSONITE DID IT

"Syndication is a huge piece of Salsify's value. We have direct channels where we press a button, and we send the content there, and it's done."

Jordan Rosenbaum, Associate Manager of Ecommerce Content and Syndication, Energizer

HOW ENERGIZER DID IT

"Having a platform like Salsify has really helped to expedite things. We now have a source of truth and can provide content to these retailers in a much more streamlined way with consistency and accuracy."

Pam Perino, Ecommerce Content Manager, The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company

HOW Ghirardelli DID IT

“With Salsify’s connections, we could go right in and publish the right information. With other platforms, someone has to be chased down, and there’s a back-and-forth and lack of speed. This automated process improved the accuracy of our content and, therefore, improved the health of our content.”
