The goal was to transform the way PK Safety ingested product data from vendors. This information is presented in many different forms, so smoothing and harmonizing the flow was very important.
“To help reimagine this aspect of our ecommerce business we needed an experienced partner to help navigate the challenges and opportunities as we accelerated our digital initiatives.”
“Vesta’s grasp of our complex industrial safety product data and ability to create complex data normalization rules, combined with StrikeTru’s affordable smallPIM and pre-built Akeneo to BigCommerce connector made them the right choice to help scale our product assortment, improve our performance in the short term, and to ensure our transformation is sustainable over time.” Rick Pedley, CEO at PK Safety, said about the project.
The digital transformation solution for PK Safety was led by Vesta eCommerce, whose specialty is data cleansing and mapping. The Vesta technology transformed the existing product data into the optimal format and structure for the Akeneo PIM. Once the PIM was fully configured and populated, the products were synced back through to the BigCommerce store via StrikeTru’s Akeneo PIM Connector for BigCommerce.
“Working with the team at PK Safety and StrikeTru has been a great example of how bringing together several market leading solutions can create a powerful single source of truth product data solution for an industry with complex data structures” said Charles Nicolson, Founder at Vesta eCommerce.
Going forward, PK Safety will continue to collect their vendor product data and updates through the Vesta platform, cleansing and preparing the data before it is loaded into the Akeneo PIM. This will ensure high data integrity and accuracy will be maintained automatically over time. The automation of these processes is enabling PK Safety to onboard and comfortably manage more products in their catalog, offering their customers a larger range.
