Detailed Review
Perfion is a PIM and digital asset management product sold by Boyum IT, a Danish software group.
The group's privacy policy names Boyum IT Solutions A/S as the controller, with its headquarters in Brabrand, Denmark, and a list of subsidiaries across Europe and a US company in Miami. Perfion appears as one of its products next to Beas Manufacturing and Produmex WMS. The vendor pages checked do not state a founding year for Perfion itself. Perfion also runs a partner programme with a published partner list.
The product positions itself around ERP and ecommerce integration. It keeps transactional data in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics 365 Finance, SAP Business One or SAP S/4HANA while product content is managed in Perfion, with connectors for Shopify, Adobe Commerce, Sana Commerce and BigCommerce.
Its SaaS tiers on the pricing page are Starter with 5,000 SKUs, Growth with 25,000 and Business Pro with unlimited SKUs, with environments, languages and users scaling by tier. Print publishing and a supplier portal are optional modules.
No price is shown. The pricing page asks you to request a price, and the licence packages (Entry Publishing, Entry Commerce, Business, Enterprise) list functions and limits without figures.
That puts it with the quote-only group, and the buyer should ask which Boyum entity signs the contract and where the SaaS environment is hosted, since the page mentions Azure file storage without naming a region. For ERP-centred mid-size catalogues, the connector list is the strength. Perfion does not state a free tier or trial on the pages checked.
What Perfion does well
- Native ERP add-ins for Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP Business One and S/4HANA
- Connectors for Shopify, Adobe Commerce, Sana Commerce and BigCommerce
- Built-in digital asset management in the same product
- Defined SaaS tiers by SKU count, with unlimited SKUs at Business Pro
- Danish group with a stated European subsidiary network
Where Perfion falls short
- No price published, tiers are quote only
- Group also has a US subsidiary, so check which entity signs the contract
- Hosting region is not stated on the pricing page
- Founding year and ownership not stated on the pages checked
Standout feature. A PIM built around the ERP, with named add-ins for Microsoft Dynamics and SAP Business One rather than generic API connectors.
