Case Study: Enhanced Product Information Management in the Automotive Sector Using Pimcore

Avatacar is a prominent French group that offers a comprehensive range of automobile maintenance products and services. With 860,000 products in stock, Avatacar is a subsidiary of the Massa group.

Avatacar, with a diverse range of tires and accessories, needed a robust system to manage its complex product information. The existing data model needed to be more adequate, leading to cluttered information and hindering customer satisfaction. Additionally, migrating from the old system to a new one posed a significant challenge with massive data volumes.

Solution

Enhanced PIM and Structured Data Model

Syncrasy Tech proposed to implement a fresh data model in Pimcore that was specifically designed to accommodate the needs of tires and accessory inventory offerings. The updated data model provided a structured and organized framework for product information. The solution also streamlined its approval workflow to ensure data accuracy and consistency before publishing. The Pimcore PIM served as a central repository to manage all product data. Syncrasy developed the custom scripts to seamlessly migrate data from the old system to Pimcore, minimizing downtime and data loss. Additionally, robust data quality checks were implemented to ensure the accuracy and completeness of product information. Calculated fields were created to automatically generate information based on other attribute values, improving data efficiency and reducing manual effort. Finally, comprehensive data validation rules were established to maintain data integrity and prevent errors.
