Business problem: Limitations of a classic CMS system

Ventia, as the exclusive distributor of brands such as HAVACO, Alpicair, Kmofovent, Dantherm, and Stavoklima, faced a technological barrier. The existing CMS system was unable to meet the growing business demands and complexity of the offer.

The main challenges faced by the company were:

  • Managing a huge product database: Handling over 40,000 product items in the old system was inefficient and time-consuming.
  • Lack of flexibility: The system did not allow for the creation of individual, complex pages for key brands, which limited marketing activities.
  • Data updates: Mass updates of prices and stock levels for such a large number of products were virtually impossible.
  • Untapped potential: The website did not serve as a sales tool or knowledge center for HVAC specialists, who are the company's main target group.

Solution: Implementation of an integrated Pimcore platform (PIM/DAM/CMS)

To address these needs, the Pimcore platform was selected. This solution was identified as the best tool because it combines three key functionalities in a single ecosystem, eliminating the need to build and integrate separate, complex systems.

How did Pimcore solve Ventia's problems?

  1. PIM (Product Information Management): A central, structured repository for all 40,000 products was created. This enabled easy management of product attributes, technical specifications, and variants from a single location.
  2. DAM (Digital Asset Management): A central database for all digital assets – photos, user manuals, certificates, and catalog cards – was implemented. Each asset was automatically linked to the relevant products.
  3. CMS (Content Management System): A flexible CMS system allowed us to build a modern website, dedicated pages for individual brands, and an extensive knowledge center with materials for installers and designers.

A key element of the project was data migration. In order to efficiently transfer over 40,000 products along with all related materials, a dedicated module was created that fully automated the process, ensuring data integrity and accuracy.

What is Pimcore

and what problems does it solve?

Pimcore is a leading open-source digital platform that empowers companies to take full control of their data and customer experiences. It is an integrated solution for organizations struggling with information chaos, inconsistent product data across sales channels, or needing a single, flexible tool to manage their entire online presence.

Pimcore answers the question: “How can I effectively manage thousands of products, marketing materials, and content across multiple platforms simultaneously?”.

Who is the Pimcore platform for?

Pimcore is the ideal solution for medium-sized and large enterprises that need a scalable and flexible system. It is most often chosen by:

E-commerce and retail companies:

To manage complex product catalogs and drive sales across multiple channels.

Manufacturers and distributors:

To reduce time-to-market and provide B2B partners with up-to-date data.

Marketing departments:

Effects and benefits: What results has Ventia achieved?

The new Pimcore-based website has become not only a modern showcase for the company, but above all a powerful business tool.

  • Effective B2B lead generation: The website has been optimized to attract inquiries from HVAC professionals, becoming a key sales support channel.
  • Centralized and intuitive offer management: Ventia gained full control over its portfolio, being able to easily manage thousands of products and related materials.
  • Building an expert position: The creation of a knowledge center with easily accessible technical data has strengthened Ventia's image as a trusted partner and expert in the ventilation and air conditioning industry.
  • Better user experience (UX): The information architecture and navigation have been designed so that HVAC professionals can quickly find the products they are interested in and get comprehensive technical support.
  • Greater marketing autonomy: The marketing department can now independently and flexibly manage content and create dedicated subpages for promoted brands.

The implementation of the Pimcore platform for Ventia is an excellent example of how modern PIM/DAM/CMS technology can solve complex product information management problems in the B2B sector, transforming a website into a strategic tool that supports business growth.
