The Challenge
European House of Beds, known for its innovative bed solutions, faced a significant challenge due to the exponential growth of its business. The complexity and volume of product data became overwhelming, leading to inefficient processes and order errors.
The need for digital transformation became evident to maintain quality and efficiency in production.
Solution
In collaboration with Novicell, European House of Beds embarked on a Complete Digital Transformation. The approach encompassed the creation of a B2B eCommerce and the implementation of a PIM solution.
The key to this strategy was the rationalisation of processes, achieving a significant reduction in the time needed to create new product series, from more than 70 hours to less than 2 hours.
El B2B eCommerce, designed to be scalable and included a product configurator, allowing customers to order new product ranges autonomously.
The introduction of “product recipes” intelligent minimised order errors, ensuring accurate product configurations and optimising internal processes.
The dynamic integration between the PIM solution, eCommerce and Microsoft Dynamics AX (ERP) provided a complete platform and consistent for managing product data, financial processes and the customer experience.

This success demonstrates how the implementation of a PIM solution together with a comprehensive digital strategy can catalyse a complete and sustainable transformation in the era of business digitalisation.
