Manage data in one hub, send to all channels in one click
If you are part of the marketing department, you probably find yourself having to invest time in managing frequent updates to product details by replicating them in numerous channels (from website to data sheet, catalog, price list, etc.). If, on the other hand, your role is in sales, you may find yourself dealing with the difficulty of looking for the latest version of a file and not being able to figure out which one is the most updated. You must surely be facing similar wastes of time if you are part of the creative team: how often for approval of a graphic you follow an endless path of e-mails without being able to understand when the final okay arrives! If you have found one or more of these situations familiar, there is a solution, actually two: PIM & DAM.
Our method
After evaluating the various options on the market, we chose 2 solutions: Pimcore, the award-winning open source software that allows you to combine PIM and DAM and make processes even more efficient with MDM and CMS, and Akeneo, the leading PIM Product Experience Management platform designed and built for marketing and e-commerce teams.
01
Assessment
Our work begins with an analysis made together with the client's team. In this type of project, it is essential to undertake an in-depth investigation to address various issues, from technical to organizational and operational.
02
Flow modeling
After the understanding of the business framework and needs, we focus on the current operation of the processes to understand every detail of the flows and identify issues or areas for improvement. Once done we design together the ideal flow of information storage, management and dissemination.
03
Platform creation
We create the PIM and DAM platform you need, 100% customized based on the specifics of your company. Your company does not have to adapt to the solution already offered by the market but it is the platform itself that we are going to create that will be shaped to your needs.
04
Agile methodology
We adopt an Agile methodology. Feedback and testing are essential to validate the developed features or analyze new needs that have emerged. Our customers are proactively involved in the project. Systematic discussion and sharing, leaded by the assigned PM - Product Owner, enable teams to stay focused on shared goals and create awareness of the work in progress.
05
Delivery and shadowing
Even the most advanced solution does not bring benefit if it is not used by the people for whom it was created. That is why we work alongside clients after the delivery phase to make sure that there are no critical issues and that the tool built together is used to its full potential.
Often designed separately, incredibly powerful when combined, the PIM and DAM solutions we implement address the need to centralize and optimize data management. The result is to speed up internal processes and give consistency to the communications outputs made available to your target audience, from product details to social media images.
