From your old PIM to ainavio in two to four weeks

ainavio imports your existing product data, maps categories and attributes with AI and creates what is missing. Then you reconnect shops and marketplaces with the same AI mapping. A system change without starting from zero.

PIM migrations rarely fail on the data. They fail on the mapping.

Categories have different names in the new system, attributes are missing or duplicated, value lists do not match. In classic projects consultants spend weeks filling mapping sheets. ainavio does this work with AI: existing fields are matched, missing ones are created, you review the result.

How a migration to ainavio works

1. Export and import

Export products, categories, attributes and media from your current system as CSV, Excel, XML or JSON, or connect it via API. ainavio reads the data as it is, no restructuring upfront.

2. AI mapping of categories and attributes

ainavio recognises which fields carry the same information and maps them to your data model. Attributes and categories you do not have yet are proposed and created once you confirm. Existing attributes are never renamed or overwritten.

3. Review and approve

Before the import you see every product, every new category and every new attribute in a list. Remove what does not fit. Only then does the data reach the PIM.

4. Even with hundreds of thousands of products

Mapping happens once on the data model, not per product. Once categories and attributes are mapped, every product runs through ainavio in batches in the background, whether 5,000 or 500,000. You review samples and rules instead of every row. Whatever the AI cannot map with confidence comes back to your team as a question.

5. Reconnect shops and marketplaces

The same AI mapping works towards the channel. The Marketplace Agent maps your data to the categories and mandatory attributes of Amazon, OTTO, Kaufland, Shopify, Shopware and more. You switch channels one by one; the old system can keep running in parallel.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a migration to ainavio take?

Data migration usually takes two to four weeks. The duration depends on data volume, number of channels and your approvals. A full project including ERP and shop integration went live in under six weeks at SDS Swiss Dental Solutions.

Does this work for very large catalogues?

Yes. The mapping applies to the data model and therefore to every product imported afterwards. The import runs in batches in the background and you review samples. Data volume mainly adds computing time, not manual work.

Do I have to rebuild my data model first?

No. ainavio reads your export, proposes categories and attributes and creates them once you confirm. Whatever already exists is mapped.

Can the old system keep running meanwhile?

Yes. You switch channel by channel. Until the last channel runs on ainavio, your current system stays in operation.

Which systems can I migrate from?

Any system that exports product data or has an API. The most common sources have their own page with the concrete process.
