For several years now, INFOLOX has focused on implementing complete omnichannel solutions with PIM, CMS and shop from a single source. In line with the "online first" strategy, the first step is usually to implement the PIM system as the basis for a website relaunch with an integrated online catalogue or online shop. An integral part of the complete solution is a CMS and shop system optimised for data storage in a PIM system such as Viamedici EPIM. All functions of the website and online catalogue, such as search, product finder, wish list, product comparison, etc., are based on the data modelled in the PIM system.
"The seamless integration of Viamedici EPIM with our enterprise open source solutions in the areas of web content management, e-commerce and a specially adapted page builder for creating landing pages and other page types is a major advantage for our customers!
It does not make sense to configure a PIM system independently of the most important channel – online. Media-neutral data only exists in theory. In practice, a concrete focus on the usability of the online solution is required. If data and metadata are created separately in the PIM, this always leads to massive frustration when creating the online solution when it turns out that the data does not deliver what is needed and resources have been misused. This results in considerable additional costs and delays.
That is why we take into account the necessary structures, data, metadata and relationships for the online channel right from the start when implementing Viamedici's PIM solution, thus ensuring that the PIM solution can be used to its full potential when the website is relaunched.", explains Alexander Pircher, Managing Director at INFOLOX, adding:
"During this time, we have seen many PIM systems come and go. Thanks to Viamedici's industry focus on PIM systems for complex, highly varied industrial products and solutions, Viamedici's range of functions, continuity, stability and culture are an excellent fit for our customers and our content and commerce solutions. Viamedici relies on EPIM for reliability, in-depth functionality and an optimised and customisable data model. Combined with the online solution from INFOLOX with its current architecture and strong user experience, Viamedici customers get full flexibility from INFOLOX to continuously evolve with the demands of the market."

"Thanks to our long and extremely successful partnership, INFOLOX has undoubtedly acquired a wealth of expertise in working with our systems and modules.
The various references and award-winning print catalogues, websites and online catalogues in the B2B sector speak for themselves. Not only has INFOLOX implemented a large number of projects and hundreds of publications with Viamedici over the years, but it has also repeatedly provided valuable input for the further development of our system.
