Case Study: B2C Website with ERP Connection and eCommerce

Since 1990 as a family-run company on the market, the Seal Concept GmbH is specialized in sealing technology and hydraulic components. Seal Concept manufactures prototypes as well as special and series parts according to individual specifications. With professional and social competence and uninterrupted readiness to innovate, Seal Concept GmbH has made a name for itself as a problem solver in many industries.

Data import from Navision

The challenge was that a very large amount of product, price, customer and custom customer discount data would be in an in-house Microsoft Navision and need to be transferred to the Pimcore system in a daily sync. For performance reasons, we opted for a nightly file-based import via XML files.

B2B shop for registered customers

Through the Pimcore eCommerce framework, we have developed a shop solution that allows existing customers to buy the Seal Concept products, including finding their own custom item number.

Automatic generation of material data sheets and declarations of conformity

The hitherto tedious manual preparation of material data sheets and declarations of conformity has now been replaced by automated generation. Since all data is already stored in the PIM, each time a material record is changed, the generation is triggered automatically.

Web2Print output of catalog data

The product data contained in the PIM can also be used in the annual creation of the product catalog, they are always up to date. Using the middleware Easy Catalog, we provide an Adobe Indesign interface with the latest product data. Thus, there is no manual input of product data required. This saves time in print production.
