PDM + BigCommerce = Complete Control

Managing inventory across multiple sales channels is a major challenge for eCommerce businesses in the automotive aftermarket. When stock levels don’t sync correctly between your PIM and BigCommerce store, it can lead to overselling, backorders, and dissatisfied customers.

PDM Automotive has expanded its BigCommerce connector, giving sellers greater control over inventory updates to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

Why Connectivity Between Your PIM and BigCommerce Matters

A seamless connection between your PIM and BigCommerce store is crucial for maintaining accurate product data, streamlining operations, and enhancing the customer experience. Without strong integration, businesses often encounter issues like inconsistent inventory counts, outdated product details, and time-consuming manual updates. Proper synchronization between your PIM and BigCommerce store allows you to:

Reduce errors and prevent stock discrepancies
Improve operational efficiency through automated inventory updates
Provide customers with real-time product availability
Avoid overselling and backorders that can harm your brand reputation

With PDM’s enhanced BigCommerce integration, businesses can manage inventory with confidence, leveraging real-time updates and customizable sync settings to maintain data consistency across all channels.

Struggling with Delayed Inventory Updates?

Timely inventory updates are critical to preventing overselling or missing out on potential sales. With PDM’s enhanced BigCommerce integration, businesses can now automate and customize inventory sync settings, ensuring product availability is reflected in real time.

No more manual updates, no more lag—just accurate stock data when you need it.

Dealing with Stock Sync Errors?

Mismatched inventory levels between your PIM and BigCommerce can create chaos.

PDM’s upgraded integration minimizes errors by allowing businesses to dictate how inventory data flows. Inventory can now be sourced from a custom field by default, giving businesses the flexibility to manage stock updates in a way that best fits their workflow. If left blank, the field will be ignored, preventing unwanted overwrites from other inventory sources.

Need More Flexibility in Inventory Management?

Not all businesses have the same inventory needs. Some manage stock across multiple locations, while others use a drop-shipping model. PDM’s BigCommerce connector now offers greater customization, allowing users to set rules on how and when inventory is updated. Depending on the selected product type, inventory tracking will be applied at different levels:

Standard Product: Inventory tracking will be set at the product level.
Variant Parent: Inventory tracking will be applied at the variant level.

This ensures that businesses using different product structures have accurate tracking tailored to their inventory setup.

Boost Efficiency and Accuracy with PDM’s BigCommerce Integration

Having a reliable inventory management system means fewer customer complaints, reduced operational headaches, and increased sales potential. PDM’s improved BigCommerce connector provides businesses with the tools needed to streamline inventory tracking, prevent stock discrepancies, and ensure customers always see the most accurate product availability.
