Customer Spotlight: Royal Van Wijhe Paint

To support their operations, Royal Van Wijhe Paint partnered with Innovadis and Inriver to implement a powerful PIM system, ensuring efficient product data management and integration. This collaboration leveraged Innovadis’ expertise in PIM and GS1 standards, and utilized Inriver’s advanced capabilities to streamline operations in the manufacturing industry.

Introduction

Royal Van Wijhe Paint, the first B Corp in the chemical sector, is setting the standard for sustainability and innovation. They specialize in high-quality paint products and are committed to making a positive impact on the environment.

The solution

Royal Van Wijhe Paint took a bold step by replacing their existing PIM system with the powerful Inriver PIM. This included all necessary integrations with their ERP system and ChemGes, ensuring source data was managed in the application where it belongs. Additionally, touchpoints such as product data sheets, websites, web shops, and leaflets were further developed, and product features were redesigned at the item level.

“This is a stepping stone to further development of PIM and all kinds of applications, which should make things easier for me and my colleagues. In this way, the Van Wijhe Verf organization is going to work even more efficiently and effectively.”
