From time-consuming tasks to strategic growth
Kongamek, a leading Swedish manufacturer of trolleys and transport equipment for the materials handling industry, was managing product data in multiple disconnected systems. From Dynamics NAV and InDesign files to online catalogs and multilingual data sheets, their team of three full-time employees was spending a significant amount of time proofreading and manually updating product information across channels and languages.
“The implementation of Perfion PIM will free up half an FTE, equaling cost savings of €40,000 per year. These enormous time savings make it possible for us to grow our yearly turnover from €11m to €17m without having to employ more people. This would not be possible without Perfion. This PIM system supports our business strategy 100% and is the perfect match for us.”
– Anders Berg, Sales Manager at Kongamek AB
The challenge: Disconnected systems and resource-heavy processes
With over 1,200 items managed in four different languages, Kongamek’s team faced daily challenges due to its fragmented setup. Product data was scattered across Dynamics NAV, marketing platforms, and static documents like InDesign files and data sheets. Each update, especially for their large print and online catalogs, required extensive proofreading and coordination, stretching resources thin and leaving little time for strategic initiatives.
The solution: A single source of truth with Perfion PIM
After exploring the market, Kongamek chose Perfion PIM for its tight integration with Dynamics NAV and Adobe InDesign, as well as its ease of use. Now, Perfion acts as the company’s core hub for managing and distributing product information across all marketing and sales channels, including:
- Website and online catalogs
- Product data sheets
- A new EPiServer-based public site and B2B partner portal
- Future expansion to manage 10,000 spare parts and additional languages
With Perfion’s built-in filtering tools and report designer, Kongamek can quickly generate customized marketing material tailored to specific customer segments, without starting from scratch each time.
The results: Cost savings, growth potential, and multichannel readiness
- Annual savings of €40,000 by reducing manual labor
- A solid foundation for increasing turnover from €11m to €17m
- Full alignment with the company’s multichannel vision and B2B ecommerce strategy
- Flexible publishing of up-to-date, multilingual product content across all platforms
With Perfion in place, Kongamek is no longer tied up by manual processes. They’re building toward a future where product data supports (not slows down) growth, innovation, and customer engagement.
