Heerbrugg, Switzerland/Aarhus, Denmark, July 1, 2021 – SFS, a worldwide leading supplier of mechanical fastening systems, assemblies, precision molded parts and logistics solutions, enters into partnership with master data management company Stibo Systems. The goal is to establish a new scalable product information management platform and infrastructure for products, assets and e-commerce, and to add more suppliers and channels to increase revenue and market share for the Distribution and Logistics segment of SFS.
“We need a single, central source of up-to-date, accurate and complete product master data that can grow in-line with our expansion strategy, allowing us to quickly add new products and suppliers”, says Harald Senn, eBusiness Manager of SFS. “For getting this done, we were looking for a platform that could manage all our current and future product data including images, documents, and translated versions of those. At the same time, the platform needed to be able to allow automated and speedy onboarding of supplier data via Web UI.”
“Forward-thinking companies like SFS have realized the importance of accurate master data and efficient onboarding of product data from suppliers. It often starts with the product domain. As in the case of SFS, this is quickly expanding to supplier data resulting in a multidomain master data management solution which enables complete data transparency. We are very happy to support SFS on this journey”, says Christian Oertzen, President EMEA & APAC of Stibo Systems.
