Main challenge for Lactalis was to remove obstacles to business development by creating and maintaining a Group product catalog - a new In addition, stakeholders will take responsibility for information entry and confidentiality. Also, elimination of double/triple entries and improvement of sharing of information were part of the project objectives. Due to Lactalis structure, PIM roll-out will be handled on a business division basis.
Thanks to Pimcore multi-domain capacities, it has been possible to define and manage all objects linked to a product : recipes, factories, packaging, and even advertising licences ! The customizable plateform allowed DATASOLUTION to create specific features (form generator, business rules ...). The integrated workflow engine was used to design and implement the complex process for validating data all along the product creation flow. DATASOLUTION team developped dedicated screens and processes to facilitate data entry and control (like the ingredient table). A SSO connector with Lactalis Active Directory was created to easily onboard new users.
Lactalis noted an undeniable increase in the information quality on the 4 entities where the PIM has been deployed. Data entry has been simplified in the group, and especially in the factories (up to 60% decrease in the number of palletization schemes on selected perimeters). Product teams can now have better visibility on creation process, and especially the blocking points. PIM is now connected to many internal and systems, including SAP. Commercial and technical data sheets are available “on the fly” though th PIM. Practices are now harmonized across divisions. Lactalis is now able to produce its first KPIs related to product creation. A key user group has been created to define all evolutions of the PIM, and review / improve all processes.
