More efficient bookstore data management with PIM
We implemented a Product Information Management (PIM) system for one the largest online bookstores in Lithuania, enabling fast, convenient, and centralized management of previously scattered data.
For over 30 years, Alma Littera has been one of Lithuania’s leading publishing houses, producing a wide range of literature — from textbooks and scientific works to children’s books and fiction. Managing this scope means overseeing tens of thousands of products, countless attributes, multiple information channels, and warehouses.
The key challenge of the project was to establish an efficient way to manage product information that had been fragmented across various databases, channels, stores, and systems. The solution streamlined workflows, ensured information was always up to date, optimized employees’ time, and ultimately improved the customer experience.
The Task
The client’s primary need was to create an integrated Product Information Management (PIM) system that would efficiently consolidate all product information channels. This would improve workflow efficiency and provide better data control across the entire group of companies.
One platform, unlimited information
Adapt to the specifics of the new market and create or integrate digital tools for more efficient growth within it.
Centralized information management
Enhance the efficiency of existing systems by expanding the functionality of current tools — internal systems and infrastructure.
Information export
Automate the export of information to other sales channels, eliminating redundant conversion processes.
Implemented PIM features
Implemented the Akeneo PIM solution to centralize, manage, and distribute accurate product information across all channels.
Automated data validation and workflow management to ensure consistency and accuracy across all product information.
Automatic export of attributes to other channels (e.g., Magento eCommerce system).
Product prices and stock levels are imported from SAP into Akeneo via API, while products are imported in XML format, ensuring convenient integration and management.
Added the ability to assign individual attributes to products, such as author, publisher, or illustrator.
Advanced photo gallery management features were implemented to provide greater administrative control.
Technology used
The Result
1. Centralized product information
A product information database and a unified system were created, accessible to all companies within the Alma Littera group.
2. Time savings for employees
The PIM system allowed employees to manage product information more efficiently, freeing up time for higher-value tasks.
3. Platform compatibility
This ensures that internal and external systems do not need separate integrations — the product information management system is compatible with all platforms in use.
4. Improved customer experience
The PIM system enabled buyers to access extensive and up-to-date product information, making purchasing decisions easier.
