PIM Implementation
DT-Diesel Technic AG has opted for prodexa Cloud (formerly jCatalog) as its central Product Information Management (PIM) system. With the introduction of an up-to-date PIM system, DT-Diesel Technic AG is meeting the globally increasing demand for spare parts of the high-quality brand “DT” for commercial vehicles from providers such as Scania, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, DAF, and MAN. Additionally, DT-Diesel Technic AG should be enabled to utilize the TecDoc format as a new additional sales channel in the future.
Interface to the ERP System
An interface to the Microsoft Navision ERP system is intended to ensure that all product information only needs to be entered once, avoiding redundant data storage. The technically increasingly demanding spare parts require smart communication of product specifications, not only internally but also externally with customers. In the future, new product data for sales documents will be generated from the central Product Information Management system.
Workflow System for Sales Documents
The global orientation of DT-Diesel Technic AG and the successful development of new sales territories necessitate sales documents in the respective national languages. These, as well as target group-oriented catalog excerpts with individually tailored information offerings, are intended to be automatically captured from the Product Information Management system and digitally printed. Additionally, a group-wide workflow system for sales documents should be established. The ambitious project was scheduled to begin in November 2005, with successful implementation targeted by July 2006.
Complete Supplier in the Automotive Aftermarket
DT’s main area of activity is the production and distribution of commercial vehicle spare parts under the well-known brand “DT”, optimized for trucks and buses from brands such as Scania, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, DAF, and MAN.
