A Single Source Database Implementation for Q8Oils to Improve Product Data Performance

Q8Oils develops, blends, and delivers a comprehensive range of technology enhanced lubricants, with a portfolio of more than 1000 products to suit every application, from the smallest engine to the largest machine.

Business Needs

The client was facing data inconsistency between various systems that led to inaccurate data input and differing usage instructions between the main product lines.

The solution is going to be not only a single-source database but also a single structure database that unites 4 business lines having very divergent data processing needs.

Pimcore Solution

Leveraging the flexibility of the Pimcore platform, Pimcore partner Tetrasoft implemented the solution as per the client’s requirements, adding or broadening specific user interface controls for efficient data input (favoring and selecting standard text instead of free text input over all products).

Business Results

The solution now provides a single source database for all product data input activities throughout Europe, improving operational efficiency and reliability of the product data across different business units.
