\n\t\t\u201cOur project with RockOn kicked off in style and finished even better. We kept to the timetable agreed, and the continuous monitoring and reporting worked well. So well, in fact, that we decided to put a store online after that too.\u201d\t<\/p>\n\t

EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORN \u2013 MAKING PIM A HELLUVA LOT EASIER\u2026<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The expertise and strength of Temal\u2019s business lies in creating products that are high-quality and carefully tailored to each home\u2019s needs. The sheer range of multifaceted requirements this needs would be capable of tying even the most seasoned ERP jockey into knots like so many tangled guitar leads. Freedom of choice brings with it great amounts of product information, and to manually transfer and update it takes a lot of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cPIM is at the heart of all digital business\u201d, Temal\u2019s CEO, Nina Zischka, explains. \u201cOur product information database for example is staggeringly extensive, and it was formerly managed on just spreadsheets, so this simply had to be done!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Everyone familiar with mathematics knows how quickly the possible permutations grow when there are several features each with several choices. With Temal, a good example of this would be a simple under-basin unit. At its narrowest it is 40 cm and at its widest 120cm, with different options at every 5 cm in between. This alone makes 16 different variations. Then there is the depth of the same product varying between 30 and 50 cm, with options at every 5 cm \u2013 meaning 5 different options for the product\u2019s depth. Altogether that means there are 80 different width and depth combinations. If you then add options for colour, doors, drawers, and handles, not to mention the\u00a0 location of the tap, and you\u2019re looking at thousands, and even the most seasoned rocker is going to be left reeling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Temal carried out an extensive tendering procedure to find a reliable partner to help them update their PIM. \u201cWe had no preconception of who would be the best for the job\u201d, Nina explains, \u201cwe were simply looking for someone who was experienced and reliable, and RockOn had everything we wanted and great references to boot, so we chose them. This is such a central part of our business that we needed it done really well\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When our band arrived at the venue for this gig, there were thousands of pieces of product information being manually moved around from one spreadsheet to another. It was time to do some arrangements so product information would henceforth be created and managed more efficiently, and to increase their digital presence and online sales. The result was cutting costs, saving time and soothing nerves. Now the PIM system is basically a helluva lot easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n

TAKE MY HAND\u2026 WE\u2019LL MAKE IT, I SWEAR! REMOVING MENIAL TASKS WITH A PRODUCT CONFIGURATOR<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The main plan was to ensure that the challenges of PIM would not cause a bottle-neck for sales, so RockOn built Temal a product configurator, that would create all the possible product configurations automatically within their own fully customised RockOn PIM; at which point the configuration could be distributed via sales channels, brochures and the ERP. The configurator creates each product and its sales code automatically, so that Temal could for example add new colour options, and it doesn\u2019t mean putting thousands of new product rows into the ERP. The same system also helps with mechanical and logistical aspects of the work at many stages too. For example, information about the weight of the product can be generated from this data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The product configurator helps centralise the production and management of product information in one place, making it easier to create information not just for the online store that\u2019s being built, but also the website, printed catalogues, product brochures, and any BIM-systems too \u2013 the same system can help people make use of product information both inside and outside the company. Next on the set list is how to automatically transfer information to resellers. This will save time for both Temal and the reseller, and it will help keep product information uniformly updated across all channels and all the way to the consumer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

With the new system, people at Temal can really channel their energies into the work they do with passion, and leave the mundanities of moving data around to the system. There is now much less mechanical updating that needs to be done and PIM is much better now that the system alerts users when information is missing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\t\u201cFor us, solid skills and know-how is essential, as is finishing the project as agreed \u2013 especially when you know there are a lot of daydreamers out there too. Right from the start RockOn gave us a very realistic timetable, a competitive price, and good cost information. We didn\u2019t have to worry about surprise expenses \u2013 everything was done as agreed. This was a large investment, so it was important to get this right straight away.”\t<\/p>\n\t
