How Eisen-Fischer Achieved 90% Time Savings with Perfion PIM

January 31, 2025

A Smarter Way to Manage Product Data and Orders

Eisen-Fischer, a German full-service provider specializing in industrial and trade supplies, manages an extensive product range with 80,000 standard items and millions of supplier articles. To keep up with demand, the company needed a faster and more accurate way to access and manage product data for quotes, orders, and catalogs.

“With Perfion, we save 90% of the time that we used earlier to type up an article from analog data sources. The quality of the order data has improved significantly. In catalog creation, we will save a similar amount of time.”

– Manfred Scheunemann, Master of Science in Information Technology at Eisen-Fischer

The Challenge: Slow and Manual Data Processing

Previously, Eisen-Fischer employees had to manually search for product information in physical catalogs and then type the data into SAP, leading to errors and inefficiencies. The company needed an automated solution that could provide instant access to supplier data while integrating with their existing SAP ERP system.

The Solution: Perfion PIM with a Custom SAP Integration

Eisen-Fischer implemented Perfion PIM as a shadow database, allowing employees to quickly find and add product data to orders—without needing to manually enter every supplier article into SAP. A custom-built live connection between Perfion and SAP ensures real-time updates and eliminates unnecessary data entry work.

The Results: Faster Processes and Improved Accuracy

  • 90% Time Savings: Perfion has reduced the time spent on manual data entry and order processing by 90%.
  • Millions of Products Managed: Up to 5 million shadow articles are now accessible in Perfion without cluttering the SAP system.
  • Faster Order Handling: Employees can quickly compare suppliers, offer alternative products, and select the best price for higher profit margins.
  • Automated Catalog Creation: Perfion simplifies catalogs, online shop updates, and customer price lists, saving hundreds of work hours per year.
