Project Successes
Product Data for Precision Tools
Walter AG offers more than 40,000 products for the manufacturing industry, resulting in a wide variety of product information and complex data management. Product information management (PIM) software enables companies such as Walter AG to manage this type of data centrally and distribute it across various digital channels. What is particularly important here is that product data needs to come in different units of measurement – from centimetres to inches – and comply with different industry standards.
Audit of the Existing PIM System
To effectively organise its product data, Walter AG opted for the solution from Stibo Systems. The digital agency originally commissioned with implementing Stibo STEP was unable to achieve the goals set out by Walter AG, which is why the tool manufacturer approached dotSource. As a certified partner of Stibo Systems, dotSource thoroughly assessed the current state of the PIM project. Following the extensive review, the dotSource PIM team took over the project. The experts worked closely with the client to fully understand both the technical requirements and the business objectives of Walter AG.
Automated Creation of Print Publications
The consistent and enriched product information stored in the PIM system can be used for more than just e-commerce activities: Stibo STEP also provides valid data for the creation of printed catalogues with up to 2,500 pages, which Walter AG publishes in more than 20 languages. This means that Walter AG's print publications can now be distributed appropriately – using country-specific data in compliance with relevant industry standards such as BMEcat.
