Case Description
- No central solution to manage the whole ecosystem – finding “one source of truth” for product information management ended up being extremely tedious.
- ERP systems presented limitations in terms of lacking media support, such as images or videos, for product information.
- Keeping track of updates across all data within Google Drive, Dropbox, and other spreadsheets became overwhelming.
Action by Bluestone
Bluestone PIM provides Starboard with flexibility and ease of collaboration between teams. The solution itself proved to be extremely easy to use. The scalability of the solution allows the company to grow globally. Starboard’s products are very seasonal and require constant updates. Bluestone PIM works very well here because of its adaptability to the specific business niche.
