Case Study: Vikan achieves instant multi-channel, multi-language product publishing with Perfion

Vikan publishes data instantly on all media

Vikan, a global leader in hygiene cleaning implements, faced slow web performance and product information trapped in the heads of sales staff. They needed sector‑specific websites, targeted “soft” product information, and multi‑language product ranges to serve partners worldwide, so Vikan chose Perfion’s product information management (PIM) solution to address these challenges.

Using Perfion, Vikan built six sector‑based websites with searchable product filters, instant publishing to websites, dynamic PDFs and campaigns, and partner‑customizable materials. Today 95% of Vikan’s product information is maintained in Perfion (with only product numbers and prices in the ERP), translations are easily imported, and publishing is instantaneous — delivering always up‑to‑date content, cutting catalog paper from eight tons to mostly online distribution, and achieving a rapid return on investment with Perfion.
