The term "product display" refers to the software-based presentation and management of product information within a digital system, such as an inventory management system, online shop, or product information management (PIM) platform. The aim of the product display is to provide product data in a structured, complete, and context-appropriate manner – whether for internal operations like inventory control or for external channels like e-commerce platforms or catalogs.
Display product details: Show key product attributes such as item number, name, description, price, dimensions, and weight.
Media integration: Embed images, videos, or documents (e.g., datasheets, user manuals).
Category & classification: Assign products to product groups, categories, or classification systems such as eCl@ss or UNSPSC.
Variant management: Display and manage product variants (e.g., colors, sizes, versions).
Price and availability display: Show current prices, discounts, tiered pricing, and stock levels or delivery times.
Multilingual support: Present product information in multiple languages for international audiences.
Linking related information: Display related products, accessories, or alternatives.
User-specific display: Tailor product information display depending on user roles, such as for sales, purchasing, or customers.
A wholesaler shows customers all available product variants including stock levels in their online portal.
A sales representative retrieves technical product information in the ERP system to create a quote.
An online shop displays additional product images, use cases, and compatible accessories to customers.
A manufacturer uses a PIM system to manage multilingual product displays for different export markets.
