Business needs
The project focused on the goal of making the data management process at Hansefit more efficient. While partner data were previously managed centrally by the Hansefit head office, the new data infrastructure is intended to enable scalable self-management by the sports studios. With the course manager, the studios will also be able to manage the digital course offering independently in the future. At the same time, the Pimcore backend, as the leading system for data maintenance, is connected to the Hansefit app via an API in order to display course information and enable mobile booking and cancellation of appointments for the trainees.
Pimcore solution
Pimcore as an open source framework serves the requirements, which were transformed by team neusta as a Pimcore Gold Partner into an individual solution that can be extended in the future. The course manager uses the Product Information Management (PIM) and Digital Asset Management (DAM) provided in the Pimcore Community Edition. The system allows flexible data modeling and extension of the initial data model of master data, courses and the event schedule. At the same time, Pimcore offers the possibility to organize assets (e. g. images and videos) centrally and to maintain them via drag-and-drop function. The variable interface integration of Pimcore allows the backend to be connected to the app and to a future front-end application for managing individual data of the association partners. The app (Android, iOS) serves as a user-friendly interface for trainees to manage training data and was developed in parallel within the team neusta network.
Results
With the successful rollout of the technical foundation that is Pimcore, Hansefit and team neusta (itself a customer of Hansefit) have created a long-term and expandable basis for centralized data maintenance. By using PIM, DAM and API integration, Pimcore already enables the complete maintenance of master data, courses and appointments and their delivery to the Hansefit app. Currently, work is in progress on an expansion of the course manager in the form of React-based front end.
