A mid-sized distributor supplying industrial components to dealers and contractors in three countries was running commerce and product data out of Magento alone. We put Pimcore in as the single source of product truth and rebuilt the B2B storefront around it.
The company sells roughly 28,000 SKUs with customer-specific pricing, bulk units, packaging tiers and minimum order rules. All of it lived in Magento attributes and spreadsheets, so every catalogue change was slow, every price list was maintained by hand, and requests for quotation arrived by email and were answered from memory.
The brief was specific: a structured B2B commerce backbone, without the complexity or cost of an enterprise suite.
Each problem got a structural fix rather than a workaround.
| Challenge | What we did |
|---|---|
| Customer-specific pricing managed by hand | Structured pricing logic managed in Pimcore and pushed to Magento customer groups |
| Large catalogue with complex attributes | Centralised PIM with a normalised data model for bulk units, packaging tiers and MOQ rules |
| RFQs handled over email | Magento B2B RFQ and quote-approval workflow |
| Data duplicated across spreadsheets and Magento | Pimcore as the single source of truth, with DAM for spec sheets and compliance documents |
| Slow catalogue updates holding back sales | Automated product sync from Pimcore to Magento over APIs |
Quotes go out faster because the pricing logic is in the system, not in someone's head; product updates reach the storefront the same day; and the data errors that used to surface as wrong orders have largely gone. Customer retention improved as a result.
