The challenge
WoilOil owns 2 brands (Wolf and Champion). The product range is very large and covers various markets: cars, motorcycles, agriculture, industry, and many more… WolfOil has an inriver PIM system deployed to manage all product details. For each product, datasheets with all the product specifications in multiple languages are mandatory.
WoilfOil had a database publishing solution in operation, managed by an agency with DTP staff. Given the extremely large amount of datasheets to be created and updated, WolfOil started looking for a more automated approach. Preferably driven from within their inriver PIM system.
How did 2imagine solve this problem?
To meet WolfOil's request, 2imagine deployed Pulse with multiple processes in connection to the inriver PIM. Adobe InDesign templates, with the Easycatalog plugin, were created and uploaded in 2imagine BrandPortal.
In inriver, 2imagine configured a custom HTML page in the inriver enrich section. Translators can now request a preview in any language to check the datasheet. Further API integration added triggers for the automatic production of all datasheets language versions when the product reaches a specific status.
The process. During product data enrichment in inriver, users can request a preview of the datasheets to check the work in progress. Once all product data is reviewed and approved, the status in inriver changes to ‘ready for publication’.
This status change triggers the Pulse process to create all language versions for that product. The result PDF files are uploaded in inriver and linked to the product. The whole production process is 100% automated. In case changes need to be made to the documents, the Adobe Indesign files are editable in a browser, using the 2imagine online InDesign editor. A graphic designer can also download the files, change in Adobe InDesign app, and update the server version of these documents.
Short implementation time. 2imagine Pulse is a multi-tenant, scalable and configurable Cloud service. WolfOil was in production in less than 1 month after signing up.

Partner
This project is realized with partner Delaware. and the internal IT team of WolfOil. 2imagine Pulse is a cloud subscription, integrated with inriver.
“2imagine Pulse is the perfect fit in our quest to automate our large volumes of multilingual datasheets production. The design cost is lower and quality is improved.
The added advantage is that we can stay in the inriver interface for previewing, approving and generating the datasheets.”
