The bookstore chain "Pegasas" of the "Alma Littera" group.

For over 30 years, Alma Littera has been one of the most important publishing houses in Lithuania, specializing in a wide range of literature from both local and foreign authors, including textbooks, academic and research publications, children’s literature, fiction and non-fiction, e-books, and more. AL Holding oversees various publishing-related companies, meaning the AL group manages tens of thousands of products, diverse attributes, information channels, and warehouses.

The main challenge in this project was to develop an efficient method to manage all the product information distributed across different databases, channels, stores, and electronic systems.

Challenge

There is a need to create a unified product information management system that would allow for the effective consolidation and integration of all information channels. It is important that the product information management (PIM) solution is integrated into the Magento e-commerce system, ensuring smooth data flow. The development of such a unified platform, designed to manage all product information across the group, would contribute to more efficient operations and better data control.

Unified information management
All data is directly transferred from their ERP system through SAP integration.
One platform, unlimited information
After importing all product data into the Akeneo platform, each product can be enriched with more detailed information.
Information export
Automatic information export to other sales channels, avoiding redundant conversion processes.

Customizable functionalities

Gallery and photo addition to product cards. The client wanted to have more control over which images are displayed or hidden, select the product cover photo, and other functionalities. From now on, system users can add visual attachments and assign their roles: cover photo, publicly displayed image, etc. Users can also add alternative text or upload an entire product photo gallery, which can be automatically exported to other channels (e.g., Magento).
Adding custom attributes with personality details. All books have their authors, publishers, and illustrators—these individual attributes can now be assigned to the product.
Product prices and stock levels are imported from SAP into Akeneo using the API, while products are imported in XML format. The client wanted to import information in specific ways that would make it convenient for later integration and management.

Result

The result of implementing Akeneo PIM for the AL group is a centralized product information database and a unified system that can be used by all companies belonging to the client group. This means that there will no longer be a need to additionally integrate internal and external systems—the product information management system is tailored for all systems.
