Case Study: Ludwig Meister achieves scalable eCommerce for over 2.5 million products and instant customer integrations with Pimcore

B2B/B2C eCommerce Implementation for More Than Two Million Products

Ludwig Meister is a leading German B2B distributor of bearings, power transmission, fluid power and tooling, serving resellers, maintenance and design engineers via a high-volume webshop. With about 15,000 active articles, over 2.5 million SKUs, 828 clients and 50,000 contact persons generating ~€100M annual turnover, the company needed seamless integration between ERP, eProcurement and the shop plus personalized offers, customer-specific pricing and fast, relevant search across a huge catalog.

Pimcore, implemented by partner Weblizards, provided a single platform to manage product, media, customer, pricing and order data and integrate ERP, payment, e‑procurement (OCI/cXML) and other systems. Out‑of‑the‑box features like powerful search, flexible product displays and a self‑service punchout tool accelerated launches and customer integrations from weeks to minutes, improved order management and repeat ordering, and helped secure the Digital Innovator Award 2019.
