Solution

PIM is the base for the administration of structured data:

  • references
  • systems
  • project reports
  • surfaces

The pages are generated from the data objects. With Pimcore all product and marketing data is now available in one system and can be maintained and updated centrally. In the second project phase, the systems can also be shown in 3D with WebGL files, so that the user can interactively deal with the different systems. Content elements are available for the further presentation of content to ensure the full usability of the CMS.
