MHZ and crossbase
MHZ uses crossbase as a PIM, MAM and cross-media solution, especially for catalog production
What particularly impresses me is how well the solution was tailored to our needs. MHZ has a very complex product logic and very high demands on the constantly changing catalog layout. The workload has been reduced considerably; what used to take weeks can now be done in just a few days.

Information on the solution
Software type: Standard software

With over 80 years of experience, MHZ Hachtel GmbH & Co. KG stands for high quality, appealing design and customized solutions as a family business in the privacy and sun protection industry, e.g. for curtain poles and rails, roller blinds, venetian blinds, pleated curtains and awnings. Around 1,200 employees work at several production sites and in subsidiaries in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France and Benelux.
A PIM, MAM and cross-media solution tailored to the individual requirements was implemented for MHZ on the basis of the crossbase standard software. The starting point is the data interface to the SAP system. In particular, the relationship logic for mapping the configurable materials is the linchpin for the subsequent catalog productions. The products are then enriched with features, product relationships, images, documents and texts and mapped in the various market- and media-specific product views. These include various price and technical catalogs.
The language-specific graphics are generated automatically using the Illustrator module. The frequently used texts in the graphics are maintained as text modules in the document module structure. The matrix tables for the configurable materials are mapped with prices for width, height and material.
The API server is also used to populate the download area on the website and the MHZ.planner with current product data and media files.
