## What it is
Pimcore is an open core PHP framework and platform for Product Experience Management that unifies PIM, MDM, DAM, CDP, DXP/CMS, and digital commerce on a single data foundation. It offers API-driven data modeling (Data Objects, Assets, Documents), REST and GraphQL delivery, and a modular extension ecosystem under the Pimcore Open Core License.

## Use cases
- manage product information across multiple sales channels
- build an e-commerce site with a product catalog
- store and transform digital assets with metadata and versioning
- master and consolidate enterprise data from ERP exports
- deliver product data headlessly via REST or GraphQL
- build a CMS with structured content and multichannel publishing
- unify customer data into a single customer data platform

## When to choose
- you need one platform combining PIM, DAM, CMS, and commerce instead of separate tools
- you want a customizable PHP-based data model with API-first delivery
- you need multichannel publishing of product and asset data to web, print, and apps
- you want a self-hosted open core alternative to proprietary DXP suites

## When to avoid
- you need a simple blog or small static site - a lightweight CMS is easier
- you cannot accept the Pimcore Open Core License restrictions
- your team has no PHP/Symfony expertise for customization
- you only need a standalone DAM or PIM without the broader platform overhead
