For product data maintenance, ASSMANN relies on prodexa Cloud PIM. Today, up to 15 project managers across 4 locations take care of this valuable data. prodexa Cloud PIM is purely web-based and enables employees at all locations to access product information easily. Here, prodexa Cloud PIM ensures not only that information is synchronised with the ERP systems on a daily basis, but also with output channels such as web shops, CMS, the ASSMANN website and a proprietary product finder for professionals with the highest standards. The PIM system also delivers specific formats for customers or marketplaces based on CSV/Excel, BMEcat, XML or pre-defined list templates.
At the same time the new PIM system was introduced, the ASSMANN Group also began the simultaneous introduction of a web shop based on OXID eSales. To achieve this ambitious goal, project participants had to carry out the basic data modelling and cleansing of existing information while also working on the required interface between the systems and the associated data preparation processes. Using the platform, new information for global suppliers is now regularly imported, prepared, compiled with existing product data and then published.
