Austrian open-source data and experience platform uniting PIM, DAM, MDM, CDP and DXP in one code base, used by 118,000+ companies.
Pimcore consolidates product data, digital assets, and customer experience into one open-source platform, covering PIM, DAM, MDM, CDP, and DXP in a single code base. Trusted by 118,000+ companies and recognised in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for DXP and MDM, it replaces the typical patchwork of separate data and experience tools with one unified model that serves commerce, marketing, and operations from the same source of truth.
The platform is built on PHP and Symfony with a MySQL/MariaDB and Elasticsearch backend, and is deployable on-premise, in private cloud, or as a managed PaaS. Headless APIs, a digital commerce framework, and data syndication connectors feed product information into websites, marketplaces, mobile apps, print catalogues, and partner portals. This makes Pimcore the data backbone behind omnichannel brands across Europe.
Key benefits:
- All-in-one PIM, DAM, and MDM on a single data model
- Open-source core with Community, Professional, and Enterprise editions
- Headless APIs for feeding any frontend, channel, or marketplace
- Digital commerce framework for B2B, B2C, and D2C storefronts
- Flexible deployment across on-premise, private cloud, and managed PaaS
- Gartner Magic Quadrant leader for DXP and MDM in 2026
Pimcore is headquartered in Salzburg, Austria, with the commercial entity Pimcore GmbH founded in 2013 and the open-source project dating to 2010. The platform is GDPR compliant by design and, as an Austrian vendor with EU-based partners, keeps customer data under European jurisdiction, a strong alternative to US-owned DXPs like Adobe Experience Manager or Sitecore.
