Case Study: Deutsche Bahn AG achieves an intuitive, editor-friendly content platform with Pimcore

Supporting the German railway industry’s digital transformation

Deutsche Bahn AG, Germany’s largest rail operator, needed a modern content platform to showcase its Digitale Schiene Deutschland initiative — a complex program to digitize the rail network with ETCS. With many editors of varying skill levels, DB required a simple, self-explanatory CMS that would let stakeholders publish engaging updates with minimal training.

Basilicom built a WYSIWYG frontend-backed CMS using the Pimcore framework so the editor interface mirrors the live site, enabling drag-and-drop content, flexible media handling and rearrangeable modules. The result is a CMS editors enjoy using: 14 system editors were onboarded with about 1 hour of training, 21 flexible modules are available, and teams can quickly produce and maintain content to support DB’s digital transformation.
