Product data for planners in 65 markets
Starting point
A manufacturer of high-quality sanitary ware supplies planners and architects in 65 country markets. Product dimensions, technical documents and availability have to match the region concerned.
How do you provide CAD product data consistently across countries?
During the project, an international specialist portal with 65 country versions was built, connected to an AS/400 legacy system.
Specialist users retrieve technical data and planning files for CAD workflows. Product data, local units and legacy IT work together internationally.
