Challenge
Skil has a complex product catalog with products that are sold worldwide. To ensure a product is suited to a certain market, Skil sells its products in many variants due to, for example, the power plug or country regulations.
SKIL Europe is responsible for all online sites in Europe as well as a number of countries outside the EU such as the Arab Emirates and South Africa. This makes up a total of 33 countries and 28 languages. Selecting the right products and variants is a complex task.
Solution
Selecting the right products and variants per country was a tedious manual task. Marello was implemented to set up an extensive logic that pushes products to the correct channels.
Marello streamlines Skil’s sales channel product selection and ensures efficient management of the product catalog and transactional product data. This saves country managers valuable time and leads to fewer manual errors.
Platform
Marello has a central role in SKIL’s commerce platform. They use Marello to integrate 33 sales channels based on Magento, their ERP system, and the WMS. By doing so, they have access to a central Digital Operations Platform for all their operations.
