Embrace digital publishing to enhance product experience
Enjoy an exciting talk about state-of-the-art implementation of PIM, digital publishing and successful collaboration 😎
Â
Here’s a success story that is very special to us. Why? Because it tells a story about collaboration and agility. About simplifying complexities. It tells a story of print publishing as a handy tool to verify data and making data visible as a first, controllable move in the huge and complex omnichannel ecosystem.
Â
Digitalization of content creation and distribution across multiple channels is the key to creating a meaningful customer experience in today’s day and age. Publishing marketing material has moved beyond print into the omnichannel digital world, encompassing website, social media, and digital marketplaces.
Â
The new challenge companies face is to make information instantly available and to keep it up-to-date across all these channels for a better customer experience. The need to embrace this change was keenly felt by the Swiss Krono Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of wood-based products.
Â
The group’s quest for change resulted in a partnership that would transform information management and publishing processes for the company, and enhance customer experience for its clients by manyfold.
Â
The manual product information management practices at Swiss Krono group were labor intensive, and fraught with difficulties. This needed to change. Â
Â
For the Swiss Krono Group, the objective was to have a proper Product Information Management System and to supply all the channels with a single source of product information.
Further on, adding a digital publishing solution to the PIM system was a key feature to transform the way the company delivered omnichannel digital experiences to their customers.
Â
The digitalization project was overseen by Unic, the lead consultant for Swiss Krono Group, with Akeneo as their PIM partner, along with InBetween Software providing the edge for digital publishing.
Â
Why was this project needed? How was it carried out? How did it help the Swiss Krono Group?
Â
These and other questions were answered in a special interview at Akeneo Unlock 2022 with Alexander Dressler (InBetween Deutschland GmbH), Ueli Preisig (Unic), Jonas Röösli (Swiss Krono Group), and Virginie Blot (Akeneo).
