PIMvendors guided MBI through awareness workshops with all stakeholders, helping them clarify their processes and data needs, leading to an informed decision on the right PIM solution.
Client Introduction
MBI, known as ‘De Steenmeesters’, is a leading manufacturer of high-quality concrete paving materials. Their products are supplied to garden centers, project developers, and governments, contributing to both residential and commercial outdoor spaces. With over 75 years of industry experience, MBI is renowned for its innovative approach to sustainability and aesthetics. Their range of paving materials, facing bricks, and garden solutions meet the highest quality standards and are widely used in landscape architecture and infrastructure projects.
The Challenge
MBI aimed to streamline their internal processes to respond more quickly to market demands. Their goal was to establish a single source of truth, ensuring that the entire company could rely on accurate, centralized data. This data would then be used across their catalogs, websites, and for tender submissions.
The Solution
PIMvendors carried out a comprehensive audit of MBI’s data infrastructure and recommended a customized PIM solution that optimized product data management across all platforms. In addition, PIMvendors provided guidance on MBI’s entire application landscape and advised on the necessary internal skill sets. To support this, they supplied a data architect to oversee the implementation for MBI.
The Results
In just six months, PIMvendors provided MBI with strategic insights, guided them in selecting the right PIM solution, and supplied a data manager. Additionally, PIMvendors equipped MBI with the necessary knowledge to successfully implement the entire data program independently within their organization.
