Stuttgart, November 9th 2009 - Today's dealers are expected to offer an increasingly extensive range of online products. Customers expect individual and detailed product information in the e-Commerce sector. To meet this demand, Fiwe (Sweden), Theilgaard Mortensen (Denmark) and Descom (Finland) partners with Heiler Software, to feed e-Commerce- and Web channels with high quality product and master data. The new partners are member of the Nordic e-Commerce Group and Premier Business partner to IBM for IBM WebSphere Commerce.
Heiler’s Enterprise Product Information Management solution is a standard solution for the management and communication of product data from one single central and controllable data source. Wholesale distributors, mail order businesses and manufacturers can increase marketing productivity and sales figures by applying the central Enterprise Product Information Management (PIM) solution. For the third time in succession, Gartner has just named Heiler one of the top 10 worldwide leading providers of Master Data Management (MDM) and PIM.
"e-Commerce can only be a success with perfect product information. In this way, cross-selling potential can actually be used”, says Frank Schmidt, chairman of Heiler Software. To meet this demand Heiler and IBM formed an international partnership in August. Heiler Product Manager can be established as the central data management platform for IBM WebSphere Commerce. Product information from the Heiler Product Manager can be directly transferred to IBM WebSphere Commerce Suite via a standard interface, which in turn assumes responsibility for the online presentation and selling process. The presentation and positioning of a product in the web shop can be examined and optimized during the data hosting process. From now on Fiwe, Theilgaard Mortensenand and Descom will offer one face to the customer in Sweden, Denmark and Finland to implement Heiler and IBM solutions.
"Simultaneous distribution via various channels is becoming increasingly important - regardless of whether your enterprise focuses on B2C or B2B policies. We are very pleased having the Nordic e-Commerce Group on board of our international VAR-network", expresses Schmidt.
“Specializing in e-Commerce here in the Nordics for years, we see the growing demand for a “one source” approach for Enterprise Product Information solutions leading to increased sales and efficiencies across multiple channels. Today’s heterogeneous business environment and technological infrastructure demand simplified processes, transparency and seamless information in all it channels for success.” Says Mr Ralf Seimertz CEO of Fiwe and Speaker of the Nordic e-Commerce Group.
“We, individual companies and members of the Nordic e-Commerce Group have jointly and deeply evaluated the market to find a trustful and long term strategic industry solution vendor and Partner that fits together with IBM WebSphere Commerce application for a long term. The decision and selection of Heiler Software to be our prime Enterprise PIM Solution Provider is well established and anchored within our own expertise and fully aligned with our strong IBM orientation. I personally believe that this expansion and broadening of our software pallet will open up for more sales successes and other achievements and at the same time supporting our customers towards more collaborative business models,” continues Mr Seimertz.
