sell their products across different countries.
In addition to the language problems that arise when your products are sold internationally, many organisations sell different product assortments per country. This means that the same pricelist cannot be used for all countries.
The time and energy required to produce pricelists was immense, so Rust-Oleum Mathys needed a solution, and fast.
The were looking for a system that had to grow as their business requirements evolved. The same system should be able to generate documents such as customer specific pricelists, technical documentation and safety sheets.
Solution
Implementation began with the setup of the database and print engine were in Zelem. Existing data was imported from their ERP system and the missing commercial descriptions were added.
