Automated price book creation
2 Strong Brands, 2 Price books, 16 Unique country versions
The Success story continues: Hansgrohe relies on the priint:suite to fully automate the production of its price book. Our implementation partner, kolb digital, managed the 7 month conversion to Hansgrohe’s new publishing process.
One of Hansgrohe’s most important sales and marketing tools is their price book comprising of approximately 550 pages for the Hansgrohe brand and 330 pages for Axor, it’s sister brand. Today, with the priint:suite, these price books are created completely automatically in 16 different country versions including language, data, pricing, currency and other country-specific variations.
Our implementation partner kolb digital, having successfully installed the PIM system and the priint:suite, successfully executed this project within 7 months with the priint:planner replacing the previously used hybris Print-Cockpit.

The advantages
- Fully automated production from the PIM system including all chapters, TOC, pagination, etc.
