The key difference

Enterprise Data & Experience Management or flexible Content Operations?

Pimcore is a very broad platform for data and experience management. In addition to PIM and DAM, it covers MDM, CDP, DXP and commerce, connecting these areas through a shared data foundation that Pimcore positions as its Data Spine. viingx focuses more closely on Marketing Content Operations. Product data, digital assets, marketing content and processes work together on a single platform – from data onboarding, enrichment, translation and approval to delivery for websites, shops, marketplaces, apps and other channels. The native Adobe InDesign integration also makes this information available for automated catalog and print production.

Adapts to your IT strategy

With viingx, you do not need to replace your entire system landscape. viingx integrates with ERP, CRM, shop, PIM, DAM, CMS and other enterprise systems. Depending on your requirements, viingx complements existing solutions or takes over core functions itself. You decide which systems stay and which tasks viingx takes on.

Less vendor dependency through open standards

Pimcore itself takes an open and highly customizable platform approach, positioning itself as an open-core and composable platform.

viingx consistently uses open industry standards, an API-first approach, no-code/low-code configuration and flexible custom extensions. Adaptations can be implemented using standard technologies, without unnecessarily tying content processes to proprietary specialist technologies or complex development projects.

This keeps the platform flexible and able to evolve over the long term.
