St. Middelkoop: Connecting product information across the entire digital business

Reading time 2 minutes
Managing thousands of construction and installation products requires more than simply maintaining product information internally. St. Middelkoop wanted to centralize product data, streamline internal processes, power its digital sales channels, and automate the distribution of standardized product information to external industry platforms. By implementing Pimmix as its Product Information Management (PIM) platform, the company established one connected product information ecosystem that supports both internal operations and external data distribution.

About St. Middelkoop

St. Middelkoop is one of the Netherlands' leading suppliers of building materials, installation products, electrical supplies, tools, workwear, irrigation systems, and related construction products. With multiple branches, an extensive webshop, and thousands of professional products, accurate and reliable product information is essential throughout the business.

As the assortment continued to grow, maintaining product information across internal systems, digital channels, and external data platforms became increasingly time-consuming. Product data needed to remain consistent not only for internal teams, but also for customers, online sales channels, and industry-specific product databases.

The company wanted one centralized solution that could manage product information once while automatically supporting every connected business process.

Building one connected product information platform

Pimmix became the central hub for managing all product information across the organisation.

Technical specifications, marketing content, product descriptions, digital assets, and supporting documentation are maintained in one structured environment, providing every department with access to the same approved information.

Pimmix is fully integrated with the company's internal business systems, ensuring product information flows automatically between connected applications without unnecessary manual maintenance. By replacing disconnected workflows with one centralized platform, St. Middelkoop established a single source of truth for the entire organisation.

Powering digital commerce

Maintaining high-quality product information is only valuable when customers can access it.

The centralized product information platform feeds both the corporate website and webshop with approved product content, ensuring customers always have access to accurate specifications, images, documentation, and other commercial product information.

Because every digital channel uses the same centralized data, product information remains consistent while significantly reducing duplicate maintenance and administrative effort.

Supporting industry standards and data distribution

In addition to managing internal product information, Pimmix supports standardized product data required throughout the construction supply chain.

The platform manages ETIM classifications and attributes while automatically preparing product information for distribution to multiple industry data platforms. This enables St. Middelkoop to maintain product information once and efficiently distribute standardized, high-quality product data to connected partners and central European product databases.

By combining centralized product management with automated data distribution, the company has significantly simplified the maintenance of structured product information across its digital ecosystem.
