A Smarter Way to Handle Product Information Across Multiple Platforms
REV’IT!, a Dutch manufacturer of premium motorcycle gear, manages 10,000 SKUs and 2,000 product variants across multiple sales channels in 8 languages. With a growing need for accurate and up-to-date product information, the company faced challenges in maintaining and updating its data efficiently.
“We could choose to invest in rebuilding our custom PIM solution or in a standard PIM solution. We chose Perfion, and even though it took some time to recreate the database to our needs, as soon as we needed to make the first change, our investment was returned. No customizations—so almost immediately, within the first year, it paid itself back.”
– Bas Stijntjes, ICT Manager, REV’IT!
The Challenge: A Costly and Inflexible Custom PIM System
REV’IT! had been using a custom-built Product Information Management (PIM) system, but making changes was both time-consuming and expensive. The company needed a flexible, standardized solution that would integrate with its existing IT infrastructure and support its B2B and B2C platforms.
The Solution: Perfion PIM for a Centralized and Scalable System
As part of an upgrade to a new B2B dealer portal, REV’IT! switched to Perfion PIM, a fully standard system that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Sana Commerce, and Mendix middleware.
Perfion now feeds product data to:
- Consumer website
- B2B dealer website
- Product feeds for REV’IT! dealer websites
- Dealer workbook
- iPad bulk order tool for account managers
The Results: Greater Efficiency and Faster Updates
- Immediate ROI: REV’IT! saw a return on investment within the first year, as costly customizations were no longer needed.
- Complete Control: The marketing team can now update and enrich product information without external assistance.
- Seamless Integrations: Perfion’s open API allows easy connections with other platforms, reducing IT complexity.
