Case Study: Q8Oils achieves unified product data and 5-second page response with Pimcore

A Single Source Database Implementation for Q8Oils to Improve Product Data Performance

Q8Oils, part of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, is a global lubricants manufacturer with over 3,600 employees, more than USD 10 billion in turnover and a portfolio of 1,000+ products. The company suffered from inconsistent product data across multiple systems, unreliable database feeds to their website and conflicting usage instructions across business lines, so they needed a new single-source, single-structure database to unify four divergent business lines.

Pimcore partner Tetrasoft implemented a Pimcore-based PIM/MDM solution with enhanced UI controls (dynamic, multiselect and cascading dropdowns and real-time calculated fields) and backend code reengineering. The result: page response times dropped from minutes to about 5 seconds for large pages, and Q8Oils now has a single, reliable product-data source across Europe, improving operational efficiency and data consistency.
