Founded in 1989, PROTEKT manufactures devices and equipment ensuring safety during work at heights, depths, and in rescue operations. All products requiring certification hold European certificates, with some also having Type Examination Certificates issued by notified bodies.
Requirements and needs
Having all certificates, standards, and approvals centralized in one place, and linking them through relationships, significantly reduces the risk of errors when updating or adding new documents. This is particularly important as these documents are often an integral part of the presented product—whether on the website or in a PDF product data sheet.
Product database
The implementation was based on PIMCORE's open-source software, offering a rich set of built-in functionalities while allowing extensive customization to meet specific requirements.
- Integrated PIM, DAM, and CMS modules
- Full multilingual support for data in the database
- Multi-level product tree structure utilizing value inheritance mechanisms, improving ergonomics in product data management
- Extension of the data model with new attribute types not standard in PIMCORE
- Integration with the ERP system, enabling periodic price updates in the PIM system
Product website
Product data presented on the website is 100% sourced from the PIM system, ensuring it is always up-to-date and error-free. Additionally, this solution saves time, as data only needs to be entered once without repeating the process for the website.
- Comprehensive, high-quality product descriptions
- Complex relationship types - accessories, related products, replacement products for older versions, etc.
- Full-text search and property-based filtering
- 7 language versions
PDF data sheet
- Dynamically generated on the website using current product data
- Capability to generate documents in the PIMCORE GUI outside of the website
- 7 language versions
Price list generation
- Export to Excel format
- Parameterization of exported product groups
- Manual or scheduled export
- Selectable export templates
Summary
The PIM system and its product database offer the ability to link products with documents (such as certificates), which is particularly valuable in the client’s industry. Thanks to this functionality, the implemented solution ensures the highest quality of presented data, allowing the company to focus on further growth without worrying about the accuracy and consistency of the information being entered.
