Challenge

Garant, a brand with 65 independent stores specialising in flooring and blinds, want to boost the profits from their webshop by 25%. To get there, they are instituting a three-phase plan, the first step of which is to lay the foundations for the modernisation of the webshop.

The challenge with their current setup is that they struggle to properly manage their product data, which is taking too much manual work across product groups and departments. This necessitates more manual workflows and processes, and in turn resource intensive work and increased risk of human error.

Solution

Based on our experience with developing product data management solutions, we implemented a PIM system to solve Garant’s challenges with manually intensive workflows.

The new PIM solution enables Garant to centralise product data and establish control over access to and editing of data, as well as control over product experience regardless of channel or language. The new PIM solution also enables Garant to consolidate product data without overtaxing their ERP system. In this way, we give Garant the tools to improve the overview of their product data and reduce manual processes.

Development

Our recommendation of the implementation of a PIM system at Garant is based both on our evaluation of their needs, and on what Struct PIM can provide for them. During the time that we have had Garant as a client, we have helped with a steady stream of update needs – which is a condition under which PIM truly comes into its own. With a PIM system, it is possible to add new aspects with both speed and ease, without losing sight of what is happening. In other words, Struct PIM allows Garant to adapt, without sacrificing their overview.

With the new PIM solution, we are enabling an efficient product flow across all stages of production – right from the data delivery. We are digitising the process, making sure that human resources can be used in an optimal way. It also means that Garant can rely on consistent data management across their entire organisation. With Struct PIM, they are also gaining a reduction of time-to-market, since they enrich product data while publishing data. This boost to efficiency means that customers at Garant get access to products much faster.

For more than two years, we have developed solutions for Garant, and gained a deep understanding of Garant’s business needs. Working from this knowledge, we are setting up our solutions so they’re ready to follow Garant into the digital future. We’ve not merely integrated the Struct PIM solution with their ERP system, we are also ready to integrate it with a future Commerce solution.

On top of that, we are basing our implementation of Struct PIM on intuitive processes, and a user experience that makes it easy to Garant to work with the system going forward. This means that Garant can dispense with lengthy training sessions, which bolsters their productivity in the moment, and sets them up with a better approach down the line, when new employees need to be introduced to the system or new products need to be added.

  1. ... passion and outstanding skills is worth its weight in gold.

    Implementing the first PIM system in an organisation requires a clear overview, structure and good knowledge of the data. We already had some of this ourselves, but what we didn’t have was a company we could use as a professional soundboard and which quickly understood our business and our needs. A partner that not only undertakes a job for a fee, but which approaches the task with commitment, passion and outstanding skills is worth its weight in gold. I’ve really enjoyed working with Kraftvaerk, and felt completely confident and calm throughout the ENTIRE process. It would give me the greatest pleasure to embark on another project with Kraftvaerk. They can take much of the credit for the fact that we have succeeded with the project to everyone’s immense satisfaction.
