Insite Software and inRiver Announce Strategic Partnership

Chicago and Minneapolis —As organizations digitize their business to drive better customer experiences and higher growth, many struggle to manage the demand across channels for rich, accurate and complete product data. To address this market need, two leaders in their respective markets — Insite Software, a leading provider of B2B eCommerce platforms, and inRiver, a leading provider for simplifying Product Information Management (PIM) — today announced a partnership to seamlessly integrate the power of PIM and e-Commerce to optimize operations and improve the user experience throughout the product marketing and sales lifecycle.

Recently cited as a “Strong Performer” of PIM in an extensive vendor evaluation report published by an independent research firm, inRiver radically facilitates the creation, maintenance, and distribution of product information to multiple sales channels in multiple languages. inRiver PIM fast-tracks the digital data collection and creation process by enabling users to collect and modify all product information in one place across all users, as well as manage all channels (eCommerce, catalogs, mobile devices, etc.) simultaneously, adapt the view of each product for each channel, handle multiple languages, and manage all of their markets. 

Additionally, inRiver’s enhanced workflow governance and multi-channel data syndication enables B2B eCommerce platforms of any size to more efficiently manage key data processes and rich media for an improved customer experience.
