Thank you for your review. I’m pleased to see that Widen has helped you replace and consolidate other content sharing tools into one, centralized system. We are grateful for your business, so I’d like to discuss your concerns about connectors to PIM solutions. If you haven’t already considered Entries, the PIM solution in Widen, I’d love to show you what it has to offer. If you’d prefer to explore a connector to your existing PIM system, I’d like to talk about how other Widen customers are doing this successfully - such as HARMAN international and Simpson Strong-tie. Please see: https://www.widen.com/resource-library/case-studies/harman-international https://www.widen.com/blog/integrations-to-improve-creative-workflows I hope you’ll reach out to me directly so we can discuss your use case and possibly connect you with our integration experts. -Jake Athey, VP Marketing & Customer Experience, jathey@widen.com
