Case Study: Migrating to Pimcore As The Main Source of Truth
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. All Arduino boards are completely open-source, empowering users to build them independently. Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments.
When we first got in touch with the customer it was clear that there were many different systems interacting with each other and that product data was scattered among them. It was clear from the beginning that having a unique destination for product information would've greatly reduced the complexity and allow for more freedom and easy of use.

Have a unique source of truth to use for data distribution
As in many cases the first need of all was to find a way to have a unique source of truth.
Data was scattered across many systems and they wanted to have a single destination for the product information.
Also the pricing information and the images were on different systems and this didn't help them reduce the cost to manage the information.
This was also critical when thinking about opening new channels where they'd sell the products.
Solution
Pimcore PIM+DAM as the main repository of information
By defining product fields together with the customer with the extreme ability to configure it
we deployed a Pimcore with some extra integrations to allow communications with external systems
and send the Product data to different sales channels and prepare customized PDF for customers.
Key Results
↓
Reduced duplicate data 100%
Easier integrations with other systems 100%
Simplified Data Access
