Challenge

7days was looking for a modern PIM system that facilitates a clean structure of attributes and is both manageable and scalable. The mail-order company wanted to be able to add new languages, products, countries, and distribution channels conveniently at any time as required, without the need for original programming.

Also, 7days wanted a PIM system that could import and process data for catalog creation directly into InDesign via EasyCatalog and at the same time make it available for the online shop.

Solution

To meet the desired requirements of 7days, the digital commerce agency Blackbit has designed a suitable data model. Pimcore is ideally suited for the company to maintain and export all data from a single data master in a targeted manner. From Pimcore, the product data is now imported and processed in InDesign via EasyCatalog.

The InDesign templates individually created by Blackbit offer 7days the possibility to design and publish catalogs easily and independently. The desired export function for providing data for the existing Magento shop was also implemented. Thus, the product information for print (Easy Catalog/InDesign) and online shop (Magento) is now maintained centrally in Pimcore.
