The project
Gant's collaboration with CAG Ateles began in 2013 with the aim of streamlining the organization's global IT infrastructure with a common system support. Gant had identified that it was a Product Information Management (PIM) system that they needed in order to manage all product information globally. Gant required a flexible system that allowed them to grow easily and adapt to changing market demands.
CAG Ateles and Gant's cooperation has gradually developed over the years. In the latest project, which took off in 2018, CAG Ateles provides the internal organization at Gant with digital commerce expertise. Among other things, CAG Ateles educates Gant's marketing and e-commerce department in digital commerce, digital business development, conversion optimization, SEO and SEM.
The solution
Pimcore was chosen as a PIM system, which is an extremely flexible platform with strong functionality for Product Information Management. Gant quickly realized the potential of Pimcore, as the system could handle a lot more information than they originally thought, which made the system perfect for the task of streamlining the IT infrastructure.
In addition to a pure PIM system that handles all product information globally, CAG Ateles developed a Store Locator and Inventory Management features to the Store Concept department. Also functions for Royalty Reporting from the various markets of the financial department in Pimcore have been developed. All solutions were developed with rights management and integration into Google Single Sign On, which is part of Gant's existing infrastructure. This makes the solutions easily accessible and easy-to-use for Gant's all internal and external stakeholders who need access to the different solutions.
With Pimcore, Gant can grow freely and easily create new functionality as new needs arise that are connected to the organization's way of working. Through Pimcore, Gant has a powerful and flexible system support that supports the organization both from a cost and process perspective in a very efficient way, with capacity to handle additional tasks in the long run.
“We see a lot of potential with Pimcore as it is a user-friendly system that meets the demands we made on flexibility and adaptability to create an efficient organization. The team at CAG Ateles showed very thorough knowledge of PIM, and Pimcore in particular, which made us feel safe with them as a supplier.”
