With a view to optimizing their business processes, NETdental GmbH, a leading supplier of dental equipment, has reorganized their product data management processes using jCatalog's Product Information Manager (PIM) solution. The company has been able to create the exact infrastructure required for a consistent “information supply chain”.
Dortmund/Hannover, October 2011 – At NETdental, more than 60,000 dental products are administered and made available for various output channels in one single system: their media-neutral product database. jCatalog's PIM solution is now NETdental's central master data hub for all product-relevant information. The mail-order company’s staff administers all marketing-relevant product information exclusively in the PIM system which leads to a sustained improvement in the product data administration and makes sure the print publications are provided with high-quality product information. What is more, the print catalogue structures can be planned and automatically published on the basis of the product information, which means improved data quality and up to date products for print media, e-catalogs and online shops.
The business data, too, are synchronized with the ERP system utilizing jCatalog’s master data integration and synch tools which not only ensure that modifications are imported but also that the complete data pool is kept consistent and up-to-date.
By implementing jCatalog's PIM solution, NETdental has created the basis for an ideal information chain inside and outside the company and this has already become evident. Thanks to the new system, work processes and data flows have been significantly improved and accelerated.
Further steps that are already being implemented include defining and implementing print publications, which make use of the high-quality database, and automate the previously manual process of printing product catalogs and price book.
