Initial situation

Faced with the challenges associated with an international corporate practice, Marc Dawert, Axalta Coating System’s PIM Program Manager, set out to find a solution for enterprise-wide distribution of consolidated product data. He described the situation prior to working with Bertsch Innovation as follows:

“We had realized that the solution for consolidating all product-related data was a central database – combined with a system that allows product and media management via an intuitive interface and supports us optimally with many features and automations.” (Marc Dawert, Axalta Coating System)

Communicate and publish internationally – with mediacockpit 

With mediacockpit, Bertsch Innovation was able to provide the desired central database with PIM and DAM functions. Mediacockpit provides API interfaces for third-party systems and simplifies the preparation of product information and media for all marketing and sales channels. Ready-made templates and translation processes also ensure channel-specific and target group-oriented product communication.

“The professional, proactive and pragmatic approach, the permanent availability and the short response and processing times, and especially the comprehensive expertise as a software manufacturer combined with additional services – implementation and support – still convinces me today that I made the right decision with Bertsch Innovation.” (Marc Dawert, Axalta Coating System)
