Opportunity
Due to manual processes and siloed systems, Ecolab faced challenges in establishing and maintaining a consolidated view of content across its organization. As a result, the business relied heavily on customer complaints and scorecards to monitor content quality levels. Data stewards became less engaged, focusing only on new product introductions rather than a holistic approach. Adding to the company’s challenges were complexities in managing and distributing a breadth of product information.
Solution
Ecolab implemented 1WorldSync’s Product Information Management (PIM) solution as the single source of truth across the enterprise. The PIM tool allows Ecolab to consolidate, cleanse, and validate product information, and push it out to various digital channels to help generate revenue, increase efficiencies, ensure maintenance, and simplify new product introductions.
Results
Ecolab’s journey brought the enterprise from reactive responses to a proactive PIM-driven approach with continued error and content quality reporting from 1WorldSync. This partnership led to:
- 68% reduction in data errors
- Removed 900 GTINs that were old or obsolete
- Over 1,100 new product images added
- Over 8,000 new publications and over 4,000 re-publications
We can make large overarching business decisions about our products with confidence in part due to the validations and code sets of 1WorldSync.”
