Esschert Design, a leading international wholesaler dealing in garden and nature-related products, found themselves grappling with significant challenges related to managing an extensive product catalogue. With the company supplying over 3,000 unique products characterized by 700 different features across nearly 70 countries, the strain on their existing ERP system, AFAS, became apparent. The massive volume and multifaceted nature of the product data led to time-consuming processes and frequent errors, resulting in inconsistent information and reduced operational efficiency.
