NEDPT TradePIM
TradePIM is a Product Information Management (PIM) product from NEDPT, built for trading companies: wholesalers, importers, distributors and suppliers to retail. It sits on top of the ERP a company already runs, such as AFAS, and keeps article data, supplier data, packaging levels, pricing and margins, GS1/GDSN and channel status together in one article record. Where many PIM platforms start as an empty data model, TradePIM ships with a data model and workflows already set up for trade. TradePIM is sold with a one-time license. NEDPT is an official GS1 Netherlands partner, and implementations are delivered with Stoneworx, its Mendix delivery partner.
Target Market
TradePIM is aimed at trading companies in the Netherlands and Belgium, from small to large, and NEDPT can support deployments elsewhere in Europe. It fits businesses with large assortments, data from many suppliers, packaging hierarchies, GS1 obligations, layered pricing and several sales channels. Typical sectors are home and garden, DIY, consumer goods, FMCG and wholesale distribution.

Value Proposition
Three things set TradePIM apart. GS1/GDSN is built in: GS1 attributes are validated inside the article record, errors show per field, and TradePIM publishes straight to the datapool, so many companies need no separate GS1 tool. The data model starts from trade: packaging levels, landed cost, price build-up and margins sit next to product content. And the license is bought once, with no user subscription and no per-article fee. NEDPT publishes indicative Founding License prices, excluding VAT and final after a product data scan: €45,000 for up to 2,000 articles, €75,000 for 2,000 to 25,000 articles and from €100,000 above that. Implementation starts at €33,000, €66,000 and €99,000. Service and maintenance cost €7,500, €12,500 and from €20,000 a year, and the Mendix platform, user licenses and cloud capacity are billed separately. NEDPT offers the Founding License to at most 10 organizations, until 1 February 2027.
For Whom?
TradePIM is most relevant for wholesalers with thousands of articles from many suppliers, importers working with packaging structures, landed cost and price calculations, and retail suppliers that must deliver validated GS1/GDSN data. It also fits companies on AFAS or another ERP that need a product data layer on top, and organizations that want to replace a costly or fragmented mix of PIM and GS1 software. It suits companies where product data drives purchasing, logistics, compliance, pricing and sales, not only marketing. Companies that want to keep their current PIM can use BrickWise GS1, the same GS1 layer that NEDPT is preparing as a separate connector. NEDPT offers a free introductory GS1 Discovery to look at existing product data, GS1/GDSN and retailer requirements, with GS1 specialists joining when arranged in advance.

Customer case: Dijk Natural Collections
Order planning the whole company can see
The company
Dijk Natural Collections is an international wholesaler of natural decoration products, sourcing from Asia, South America and Europe and supplying garden centers, DIY retailers and wholesalers. As volumes grew, its ERP could not reliably link purchases to the right customer orders, and containers arriving in partial shipments on different dates made delivery dates hard to promise.
The challenge
Stoneworx, NEDPT's Mendix delivery partner, built an order planning application that links incoming purchase orders to customer orders. Stock and delivery timing became visible across the company instead of only in the warehouse, and the application reads from and writes back to Dijk's operational processes. NEDPT now offers this functionality as its Inventory Management & Order Planning module, which works alongside TradePIM.
What changed
- 01
Order planning application on Mendix
Stoneworx built an order planning tool that shows incoming shipments and delivery timing in one view.
- 02
Purchase orders linked to customer orders
Purchase data is connected to individual customer orders, which the ERP could not do reliably as volumes grew.
- 03
Company-wide visibility
Field sales and other teams see stock status that used to sit with the warehouse, and the tool writes back into operational processes.
Results
- 20% fewer partial deliveries, as reported by Dijk Natural Collections in Computable.
- Sales can commit stock that is still in transit instead of turning orders down.
- Customers receive more reliable delivery dates.
Key Capabilities
- Trade data model: One article record for base data, supplier data, product attributes, content and channel status, set up in advance for wholesale and import.
- Packaging hierarchies: Packaging levels from single unit to box and pallet, with dimensions, weights, CBM and pallet optimization linked to the article.
- Integrated GS1/GDSN: GS1 validation before publication, field-level error feedback in the article record and direct publication to the GS1 datapool.
- Pricing and margins: Price build-up from purchase price, import duty, transport, CBM and container costs to a sales price with margin control.
- Workflow and channel status: Review and approval states, with publication status per article for ERP, GS1, webshop, B2B portal and marketplaces.
- PPWR packaging data: Packaging components, materials, weights and supporting documents per article, as input for PPWR compliance.
Expert Insights
Best validated for Benelux wholesalers, importers and retail suppliers that need GS1/GDSN validation and publication inside the PIM, next to an ERP such as AFAS. Weigh the one-time license against the recurring Mendix platform, hosting and service costs, and ask for named TradePIM references: the Founding License program is new and runs until February 2027.
“TradePIM belongs on Benelux GS1/GDSN shortlists, especially for DIY - confirm packaging and DPP scope up front.”
Technology & Integration
TradePIM is built on the Mendix low-code platform and runs as a cloud-hosted Mendix application. The ERP stays the system for core processes, and TradePIM adds the product data, enrichment and sales layer on top. NEDPT has implementation experience with AFAS; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Exact Online and SAP Business One are assessed per project. GS1 validation and publication run on BrickWise GS1, NEDPT's own GS1 technology, and NEDPT is listed in the GS1 Netherlands Partner Finder. Because TradePIM is a Mendix application, it can be extended for customer-specific processes, which adds Mendix platform and user licenses to the running costs. Two related NEDPT products work with TradePIM but are not part of the license: the FieldSales App for sales teams and the Inventory Management & Order Planning module. Confirm ERP connectors, GS1 datapool scope, deployment and total cost of ownership during shortlisting.
