'''Pimcore''' is an [[open-source]] enterprise [[PHP]] software platform for [[product information management]] (PIM), [[master data management]] (MDM), [[customer data management]] (CDP), [[digital asset management]] (DAM), [[content management]] (CMS), and [[E-commerce|digital commerce]].
'''Pimcore''' is an open-source enterprise [[PHP]] software platform for [[product information management]] (PIM), [[master data management]] (MDM), [[customer data management]] (CDP), [[digital asset management]] (DAM), [[content management]] (CMS), and [[E-commerce|digital commerce]].


== Technology ==
The Community Edition of the Pimcore Platform is [[Free_software|freely]] available under the [[GNU_General_Public_License|GNU General Public License]]. The company also offers a commercial version of the software, called Pimcore Enterprise Subscription, which includes a proprietary license and commercial support for the product. The commercial version extends the capabilities of the open-source core with additional features.
Pimcore is operated in a [[web browser]] and is based on the [[PHP]] programming language, as well as the [[MySQL]]/[[MariaDB]] database system. It consists of a modular software architecture that uses leading development frameworks, such as the [[Symfony]] project and the package management [[Composer (software)|Composer]] based on a "best-of-breed" approach. The architecture uses the conventions of object-oriented software development, taking into account the MVC (Model View Controller) design pattern.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Core Framework {{!}} Pimcore Development Documentation |url=https://pimcore.com/docs/platform/Pimcore/ |access-date=2024-02-22 |website=pimcore.com |language=en}}</ref>


Pimcore follows the specifications and definitions of the [[PHP Standard Recommendation|PHP Framework Interop Group]] (PSR 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7). The company has been a member of this PHP standardisation body since August 2016.


Since its initial release in 2010, Pimcore has followed a fully API-based approach. All functionalities can be accessed by a PHP and a REST API. This allows for easy connectivity to any existing third-party systems, such as [[SAP]], [[Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central|Navision]], [[Salesforce]] or [[Oracle Corporation|Oracle]]. The core of Pimcore is extensible through third-party components and plugins.

Pimcore has a management interface to configure the system and manage data. The user interface is based on the Sencha Ext-JS-6 development framework.

== Functionality ==
Pimcore's portfolio consists of open source software solutions for multi-domain master data management and solutions for cross-channel digital commerce and content management. In addition to a free community edition, the software solution is also available as an enterprise edition. The software platform includes functionalities for product information management ([[Product information management|PIM]]), web content management ([[Content management system|CMS]]), digital asset management ([[Digital asset management|DAM]]) and [[e-commerce]] and is available under the [[GNU General Public License|open source GPLv3 license]] and the proprietary PEL (Pimcore Enterprise License).

=== Master Data Management (MDM) / Product Information Management (PIM) ===
Pimcore's MDM/PIM functionalities deal with the lifecycle of a company's master and product data. The focus is on the consolidation of data, the creation of a central data repository and data quality management topics. In this context, Pimcore enables the configuration of data models of any complexity and the consolidation of data for companies from a wide range of industries and with a wide range of business models. Pimcore includes more than 40 data components and is compatible with classification systems such as ECLASS (formerly styled as '''eCl'''@'''ss''') and GS1. Content as well as structures, versions, descriptions, translations can be managed centrally.

=== Web Content Management (CMS) ===
CMS functionalities are based on the media-neutral management of data and the support of the single-source and multi-channel publishing principle. Pimcore can therefore be used to create and manage cross-media and cross-channel content that can be consumed on digital devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) as well as offline at [[Point of sale|POS]] and in print.

=== Digital Asset Management (DAM) ===
DAM functionalities include centralized management, classification and conversion of digital media in any format and size. The objective is to simplify the management of media and deliver the right media in the appropriate formats to the relevant output channels.

=== E-Commerce-Framework ===
The e-commerce framework is a component-based development framework to rapidly develop flexible [[Business-to-business|B2B]] and [[Business to consumer|B2C]] e-commerce applications.

=== Customer Data Framework ===
⚫
The Customer Data Framework is a component-based development framework to rapidly develop applications for customer data management, customer data segmentation, personalisation and marketing automation.

=== Pimcore Platform ===
The Pimcore platform combines PIM, CMS, DAM and e-commerce in a single open source application, positioning itself as a system solution for consolidating IT landscapes. In this sense, Pimcore is a champion for integrated system solutions, rather than the best-of-breed approach.

Pimcore is an open-source enterprise PHP software platform for product information management (PIM), master data management (MDM), customer data management (CDP), digital asset management (DAM), content management (CMS), and digital commerce.

Technology

[edit]

Pimcore is operated in a web browser and is based on the PHP programming language, as well as the MySQL/MariaDB database system. It consists of a modular software architecture that uses leading development frameworks, such as the Symfony project and the package management Composer based on a "best-of-breed" approach. The architecture uses the conventions of object-oriented software development, taking into account the MVC (Model View Controller) design pattern.[2]

Pimcore follows the specifications and definitions of the PHP Framework Interop Group (PSR 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7). The company has been a member of this PHP standardisation body since August 2016.

Since its initial release in 2010, Pimcore has followed a fully API-based approach. All functionalities can be accessed by a PHP and a REST API. This allows for easy connectivity to any existing third-party systems, such as SAP, Navision, Salesforce or Oracle. The core of Pimcore is extensible through third-party components and plugins.

Pimcore has a management interface to configure the system and manage data. The user interface is based on the Sencha Ext-JS-6 development framework.
