The challenge

Managing product data inconsistencies was a major hurdle for this manufacturing company. With different departments using their own systems and methods, achieving a unified product strategy was nearly impossible. This led to duplicated efforts, errors, and inefficiencies. A global solution was necessary to streamline product management and ensure consistency across all regions.

Our proposal: a Product Reference Manager, a central tool that seamlessly integrated with existing processes while allowing for future growth.

Our approach

We began with a comprehensive analysis of the company’s existing processes. It quickly became clear that each department managed product data differently, leading to inefficiencies and misalignment. Our solution was the Product Reference Manager, designed as a centralized tool for standardized product data management.

Next, we worked closely with the client to define system requirements, ensuring that the solution fit seamlessly into their existing workflows while allowing for future scalability. Implementation was carried out in phases, in collaboration with both internal teams and external partners.
