Case Study: Simplified Work Processes and Web-To-Print Solution for SSBL

At 12 locations in the greater Lucerne area, SSBL offers living space for people with severe disabilities. Around 845 employees work for the well-being of the children and adults cared for. SSBL has been in existence for almost 50 years and has a performance agreement with the Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland.

In cooperation with the agency Frontal, SSBL developed a new image. Both print products and the online presence were redesigned and coordinated. On the basis of the previous presence, the agency designed a corporate identity and a CD that could be used for all channels.

Business Needs

The new website should of course be responsive and correspond to the new CI/CD. In the course of designing the new website, it also became clear that SSBL wanted to use a media database in order to have the diverse media data centrally available in high quality. Print production is to be automated in order to be able to produce event flyers, employee magazines, annual reports or brochures on the individual locations more easily in future.

Pimcore Solution

Based on these needs, SSBL decided to implement Pimcore. The Pimcore partner was Brunner Medien AG. The interface of the new website corresponds to the new CI/CD, conveys competence and focuses on people in large-format photos, in line with the guiding principle «valuable work for valuable people». A DAM module including an asset portal was installed, with which all media data is now centrally organized and can easily be used for various purposes. A web-to-print system will follow shortly. In addition to building the website, Brunner Medien AG was also responsible for designing a new print product for SSBL.

Business Results

SSBL appears fresh and attractive both online and in its new print products. News and events can be found immediately on the website and are always up to date. The central administration of the media files simplifies the operation considerably. The DAM module lays the foundation for future direct print production.
