Pimcore

Pimcore is an open-source data and experience management platform that combines product information management (PIM), master data management (MDM), digital asset management (DAM), and content management (CMS) in a single system. It is designed to centralize the creation, governance, and distribution of product data, media assets, and web content across multiple channels and languages.

At its core, Pimcore offers flexible data modeling through class definitions, data objects, and a rich set of field types. Users can model complex product catalogs, assets, and content with features such as object bricks and field collections, together with versioning, workflow, and role-based access control.

Its APIs enable headless and API-first delivery. REST and GraphQL endpoints allow external systems, e-commerce platforms, and front-end applications to read and write data, while built-in DAM and CMS capabilities support multi-channel publishing and localization.

Technologically, Pimcore is written in PHP and built on the Symfony framework. It typically runs on common LAMP/LEMP stacks and uses MySQL or MariaDB for storage, with optional search engines such as Elasticsearch. It is installed and extended using Composer and a modular architecture.

Licensing and editions include a community edition (open source) and paid enterprise editions that add features for larger deployments, advanced workflows, performance tuning, and professional services.

Typical use cases include centralizing product catalogs for e-commerce, managing digital assets for marketing, and delivering consistent content experiences across websites, mobile apps, and other channels.
