DT-DIESEL TECHNIC AG successfully publishes product information with Product Information Manager from jCatalog
In the largest catalog competition, the print catalog created with jCatalog won the first place in the automotive
category, setting new standards in catalog publication
Dortmund/Kirchdorf, 23 October 2007 - The DT-Diesel Technic AG, based in Kirchdorf, has successfully implemented the
Product Information Manager (PIM) from jCatalog. With that, the well-known manufacturer and full-range spare parts supplier
for commercial vehicles has appropriately chosen a modern and high-performing software solution for the central administration
of product and catalog data.
The specialists from Kirchdorf were particularly convinced by the extensive flexibility offered to users in data management:
for example, jCatalog PIM offers the possibility of compiling a selection of products, together with the relevant product
information, in different output formats, thereby providing product information that is specific to models, markets and
customers. With PIM, DT-Diesel Technic AG is well equipped to develop new distribution channels in the future and to meet
the increasing global demand for spare parts with the "DT" mark of quality - suitable for commercial vehicles manufactured
by Scania, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, DAF and MAN.
The DT-Diesel Technic AG publishes all updated product information for national and international sales documentation
with jCatalog PIM. This system allows the complex relationships of the product specifications to be taken into consideration
and also complies with all the relevant general conditions. Based on XML, PIM enables the fully automatic generation of print
catalogs of up to 800 pages and in seven languages from product information, with just one mouse click. Not only are the
results displayed quickly, the professional layout templates help to create these in a clear and attractive manner.
With their print catalog, created with jCatalog PIM, DT-Diesel Technic AG won first place in the automotive industry
category during the annual primary catalog benchmark.
PIM guarantees clarity: via the data output in an online product information system, the existing online shop could be
expanded to include detailed product information and technical data, the introduction of new products as well as an effective
search function for the comprehensive full product range, thereby providing significant added value. With the jCatalog Online
Product Catalog (OPC), customers as well as sales employees in the company and its worldwide branches always have the latest
product information at their disposal. Furthermore, through the diverse possibilities offered by PIM, DT-Diesel Technic AG can
generate customer-specific product information without incurring large organizational costs. Such information can be made
available in either a printed or a digital format.
With the recognition of the importance of standards in the automotive spare parts market, PIM is deployed as a strategic
product in the DT-Diesel Technic AG group of companies. To avoid of duplication of information, it is absolutely necessary for
the Kirchdorf enterprise that the jCatalog solution can be connected to the ERP system Microsoft Navision. The generation of
redundancies is thereby effectively prevented.
