Customer Cases

Customer Case: Transa

About

Transa Backpacking AG has been the leading Swiss provider of high-quality travel and outdoor equipment for over 40 years. Today, around 42,000 products from over 500 brands are available in its branches in Zurich, Basel, Bern, Lucerne, St Gallen, and Winterthur, plus two outlets and the Transa online store. In addition to its extensive range, Transa scores point above all with its first class customer care and comprehensive services: around 400 employees who are also outdoor enthusiasts use their knowledge and experience to provide advice across all channels.

Case Description

Meaningful product information is the most important decision-making tool when shopping online. In order to efficiently integrate and enrich the product data of more than 500 suppliers, Transa Backpacking AG decided to update its product information management (PIM).

Action by novomind iPIM

After all, not only do heterogeneous data formats have to be integrated but the attributes and values they contain also have to be standardized, for example when it comes to displaying American or British shoe sizes in European sizes or reliably assigning different shades of red such as Bordeaux, Burgundy or Fireplace to the appropriate color category.

Results

Transa uses novomind iPIM Supply to process around 90 supplier catalogs (master data and product attributes). Selected master data is imported directly into the ERP. Attributes are synchronised in iPIM. Time-consuming manual data collection and the associated risk of errors have been reduced to a minimum. Intelligent attribute and value mapping also enable a highly efficient
linking and enrichment of the product information. The result is high-quality, up-to-date product data that ensures products are optimally displayed in novomind iSHOP.
