Bimstore has launched a product information management (PIM) platform to enable product manufacturers to collate, securely store, manage and distribute their product information.
The PIM platform, known as Sinc, focuses on three main aspects: centralise, optimise and comply. Centralise refers to collecting product data from a range of sources, and storing it in a single, secure location. Optimise refers to enabling personnel from across an organisation to access and enhance product data, with user-based permissions and controls on who can authorise changes. It also refers to distributing product data to a variety of other platforms, such as websites, third-party applications and internal systems. Comply relates to providing an audit trail of product data.
Rob Charlton, chief executive of Bimstore, said: “We were driven to develop Sinc to help the industry move forward with becoming more accurate, accountable and sustainable. These are three key areas that the industry has to make dramatic improvements in to ensure a better-built environment – and better world – for future generations. We believe that product data sits at the heart of that.”
Bimstore is part of Space Group, which also includes Space Architects, BIMTechnologies and Twinview.
Charlton added: “Our unique position with Sinc is down to us as Space Group working in the built environment for more than 65 years. The whole team here is highly knowledgeable and passionate about solving challenges in the industry.”
