Case Study: a leading Australian luxury retailer achieves 60% faster time-to-market with Persistent Systems' digitized product management solution

Leading Australian Luxury Retailer sees 60% Faster Time-To-Market with Digitized Product Management

A leading Australian luxury retailer faced significant operational challenges due to disparate, outdated systems for managing its extensive online product catalog. These manual, error-prone processes led to fragmented product information, data discrepancies, and longer time-to-market cycles. To overcome this, the retailer partnered with Persistent Systems to implement a comprehensive Product Information Management (PIM) solution to streamline operations and improve data accuracy.

Persistent Systems implemented IBM Product Master to create a centralized platform, mastering over 6 million styles and SKUs. This solution automated workflows, integrated with AWS for image storage, and provided a rules framework for product classification. The results were a 60% faster time-to-market, a 50-60% improvement in data quality, and a 30-40% reduction in total cost of ownership by consolidating multiple vendor tools into a single platform.
