/ The company / News / MiniTec: crossbase API server provides data for website

crossbase API server provides data for MiniTec website

MiniTec uses crossbase's API server to make its product information available centrally and automatically on various platforms. This solution ensures fast and uniform provision of data, which improves the customer experience by ensuring that up-to-date and consistent product information is always available.

With the REST API services from crossbase, all product information for the website can be provided quickly and easily. This means we can use the PIM to control the website's product content centrally for all countries and languages."

Stefan Wache

Head of Marketing and Communication
MiniTec GmbH & Co KG

Initial situation

Previously, MiniTec's product information was neither maintained centrally nor could it be used efficiently from the ERP system. An outdated solution was also being used for print production and there were additional translation requirements for other foreign languages. MiniTec therefore decided to use the crossbase.pim PIM system.

 

Procedure

To ensure that the product information is up-to-date and consistent on different platforms, the API server from crossbase was also set up following the implementation of the PIM system. The company's website was completely overhauled in the process, including a comprehensive renewal of the product area. An ease-of-use filter search has been integrated to facilitate product selection and the presentation of product information has been improved. Technical data, details of the scope of delivery, application and installation information as well as connection options are now more clearly accessible.

 

In addition, the provision of CAD files has been made more user-friendly: CAD files are now available with a 3D preview, can be downloaded directly and used for a product inquiry. All product information is managed in crossbase.pim and -MAM, and country-specific catalogs can be controlled using Channel Output Management.

 

Result

By using the crossbase solution, print, e-commerce and the website are now controlled via a central data source. This ensures that current and consistent product information is available on all platforms at all times and has a positive impact on the customer experience.

The advantages of the solution

  • Fast and uniform provision of data

     

  • Reduced duplication of work through reuse of document modules

     

  • Always up-to-date product information that adapts automatically

     

     

  • Country-specific article maintenance using assortment control

     

  • Tree structure and filters for easier product selection

     

  • Generated dimension tables with tolerances

     

  • Language-specific media and text information

     

  • Management of product relationships (such as matching products, accessories and highlight products)
