Built by integrators.
PIM Gate is a product of Netgen Switzerland AG in Zürich. For more than ten years we have connected PIMs, ERPs, shops and DXPs for manufacturers and wholesalers in the DACH region. PIM Gate is what we built after solving the same problems by hand, project after project.

A decade inside other people's product data.
Netgen Switzerland works where product data meets the web: PIM implementations, shop integrations, DXP platforms and the connectors between them. Our teams in Switzerland and Croatia have spent more than ten years on these projects for manufacturers and wholesalers in the DACH region, with deep expertise in Ibexa and Symfony.That work taught us where product data gets stuck. Not in the PIM — PIMs are good at holding data. It gets stuck at the edges: in the email to a dealer, the Excel from a supplier, the export script for the shop, the PDF for the sales meeting. PIM Gate is our answer to the edges.

02 · Origin
Built for one manufacturer. Rebuilt for many.
PIM Gate did not start on a whiteboard. It started with a real catalog and real people waiting for data.
- 01
Built for one catalog.
PIM Gate began as a portal and integration layer for a DACH manufacturer of technical products, sitting next to its existing PIM.
- 02
Proven in daily use.
It is in daily production use there today, with more than 20,000 products, multiple languages and markets, and consumers that depend on it every day.
- 03
Rebuilt as a platform.
We are now rebuilding it as a multi-tenant platform — many companies, each isolated and individually branded — with a migration plan designed so the production customer keeps running throughout.
2026
Every feature on this site was first a request from someone who needed product data and couldn't get it.
The framework underneath.
PIM Gate is built on avidia.ai, the AI application framework from Netgen Switzerland. It provides the foundations every serious business application needs, so PIM Gate can concentrate on product data.avidia.ai gives PIM Gate a multi-tenant, API-first foundation and a clean way to integrate AI models — the reason you can choose your model and provider per language or market rather than being tied to one. Features built for PIM Gate strengthen the framework, and framework improvements reach PIM Gate.
- Multi-tenant and API-first by design
- Model-agnostic AI integration — OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepL, Azure OpenAI, EU and local models
- Maintained by the same team that builds PIM Gate

04 · Principles
Six decisions we made on purpose.
Principles are only useful if they explain choices. These explain ours.
01
Next to, not instead of.
We do not ask you to replace a system that works. PIM Gate reads from your PIM and ERP and adds what they lack at the edges.
IN PRACTICE: READ-ONLY BY DEFAULT · WRITE-BACK OPT-IN
02
Honest status.
Every capability on this site shows whether it is live, scheduled for 2026, coming soon or on the roadmap. We would rather lose a deal on a date than win it on a promise.
IN PRACTICE: LIVE · 2026 · COMING SOON · ROADMAP
Honest status.03
Pay for your team, not your customers.
Pricing by internal seats keeps portals open to everyone who needs them.
IN PRACTICE: UNLIMITED PORTAL USERS IN EVERY VERSION
04
Sovereign by default.
European hosting is the starting point, not an upgrade. Swiss and dedicated options exist for those who need them.
IN PRACTICE: DE HOSTING · CH & DEDICATED ON REQUEST
05
Your model, your choice.
AI should be replaceable. You pick the engine per language or market, and a person approves before anything is published.
IN PRACTICE: ENGINE PER LANGUAGE · REVIEW STEP
06
Open formats, open interfaces.
Data you put in should come out in standards others can read.
IN PRACTICE: REST /v1 · WEBHOOKS · BMEcat · ETIM · TMX · TBX · XLIFF · JSON-LD
05 · Partners
Your project. Our platform.
PIM Gate is built to be implemented by the people who already know the customer's landscape: PIM integrators, commerce and DXP agencies, consultants. We run and develop the platform; the implementation stays with you.
