Industries

Built for the way industrial businesses
actually sell.

Parts, materials, and trade relationships behave nothing like retail. PIMento is shaped around the four kinds of business that live on them — and the operational reality each one carries.

01 Manufacturers & OEMs

Sell direct, through dealers, and long into the aftermarket

Engineered products with options, a dealer network that needs current data, and parts that have to stay orderable for decades — without a spreadsheet in sight.

What makes it hard

  • Configuration rules trapped in engineering spreadsheets
  • Product data sent to sellers as spreadsheets and PDF price lists
  • Aftermarket parts hard to identify by model or fitment

How PIMento handles it

  • Syndicate product data to every dealer and channel automatically
  • Configure, price, and quote engineered products
  • Aftermarket parts, diagrams, and fitment-based lookup

02 Distributors and suppliers

One buying experience for every trading partner

Partners each buy differently — portal, punchout, EDI, or a rep on the phone. PIMento gives them one consistent experience without replacing the systems that already run the business.

What makes it hard

  • Partners order by phone, email, and PDF price lists
  • Every channel carries its own catalog, pricing, and rules
  • Replacing the ERP is not on the table

How PIMento handles it

  • Self-service portals with contract pricing and credit terms
  • Punchout, API, and agent-driven ordering from one catalog
  • Two-way ERP sync so orders, stock, and pricing stay in place

03 MRO

High-volume repeat ordering where speed decides the sale

Buyers reorder the same items constantly, under procurement rules and approved-part lists they did not write.

What makes it hard

  • Buyers cannot find the right part fast enough
  • Approved-part lists maintained outside the catalog
  • Procurement systems need punchout, not a storefront

How PIMento handles it

  • Customer-specific catalogs and approved-part lists
  • Replenishment, reorder lists, and punchout ordering
  • AI search across specs, equivalents, and alternates

04 Trade merchants

Supplier catalogs, branch stock, and trade accounts in one place

Merchants sell what hundreds of suppliers make. That data arrives in every format imaginable, and it still has to be right at the counter and online.

What makes it hard

  • Supplier feeds arrive as spreadsheets, PDFs, and FTP drops
  • Duplicate and conflicting records across suppliers
  • Counter and web prices drift apart between systems

How PIMento handles it

  • Supplier feed ingestion, matching, and enrichment
  • Account-specific pricing honored on the counter, phone, and web
  • Branch-level stock with collection or delivery promises

The common thread

What every industrial seller shares

Different products, same constraints — and they are the ones generic commerce platforms are worst at.

Complex products

Specs, options, units of measure, and relationships that a generic catalog cannot hold.

Trade relationships, not carts

Negotiated pricing, credit terms, and approvals — buying is an account activity, not a checkout.

Systems you cannot rip out

The ERP stays. PIMento sits alongside it and makes what it holds sellable.
