Both the most difficult and the most intersting part of this project consisted in feeding Pimcore with data from many different sources, including the text complex data flow coming from Carrefour affiliates platform. Data modeling needed to be very lean and generic while keeping all franchise, suppliers, product specificities... Thanks to its great flexibility, Pimcore was the best choice for this project.

Betterflies PIM MDM Tires and auto accessories

 

PIM project to manage all products with Pimcore. The project was part of a major IT restructure. 

Accessories, auto parts and tires had to be managed with very different characteristics. Lots of attributes needed auto calculation. The vehicule base also had to be put in place to manage the very complex compatibility with accessories. This was complex because accessories may be compatible according to very different criterias : the vehicule model, the number of doors, the size of the tires...
