context
Since 2019, The Kooples has used a PIM to manage its product data. However, IT teams questioned certain aspects of its usage and wished to evaluate its overall performance. Concurrently, business teams were considering either expanding PIM usage or exploring a PLM integration to address additional needs.
To resolve these questions, Numendo was requested to conduct a comprehensive audit. The objective was to analyze data flow organization, evaluate functional and technical aspects, and identify key optimization areas for the Product Data chain and its impact on the IT system.
