“For us, it was crucial to find a solution that maps the diversity of our brands and processes in a single system – from the first product concept to market launch. With OMN, we have built that foundation.”
Heiko Hofer, Katharina Abernethy, Marc Wandrey, Frank Hohl, Executive Management, PARSA Haar- und Modeartikel GmbH
Initial situation
Broad portfolio, fragmented systems.
Before OMN
- Different systems for product data, assets, and packaging
- Duplicate data maintenance across different tools
- Excel-based processes for mapping and approvals
- Manual coordination between departments and markets
PARSA Beauty is one of the leading suppliers of hair and beauty products in Central and Eastern Europe. With a growing product range, new marketplaces, and an increasing number of sales channels, the complexity of product data management grew steadily.
The consequence: redundancies, error-prone processes, and data maintenance that couldn’t keep up with growth. Every new distribution partnership meant additional manual effort – an unsustainable situation for a scaling company.
Project objectives
PIM First – clear objectives for the project.
01
PIM as Single Source of Truth
Bring together all product and media data across brands, sales channels, and business units in a single platform. No more data silos and redundancies.
02
Integration & Automation
Build SAP, Alphashot, and Tradeflex integrations. Eliminate Excel and automate approval workflows – fewer errors, more speed.
03
Channel Management
Manage all sales channels centrally – brick-and-mortar, digital, marketplaces, and private label. Scalable distribution for new partners and markets.
The solution
OMN as an Integrated PXM Platform.
At PARSA Beauty, OMN serves as the central platform for all product-related data and workflows. The implementation followed an agile SCRUM framework with JIRA and process-driven workflows (BPMN/CAMUNDA) – a solution that covers all requirements:
PIM & DAM
Product data and assets united. All product information, images, and documents are managed centrally in OMN. The integrated DAM solution ensures consistent assets across all channels.
SAP Integration & REST API
Seamless system integration. OMN is connected to SAP via REST API – including bidirectional data exchange. Alphashot and Tradeflex are also integrated. Data flows automatically into the central platform.
Workflow Automation
Process-driven workflows. Approvals are automated with BPMN/CAMUNDA processes. Every product record goes through defined steps – from creation to market launch.
Channel Management
All channels from a single platform. Brick-and-mortar retail, online shops, marketplaces, and private-label partners are all fed centrally from OMN. New channels can be connected quickly.
AI & Automation
Intelligent processes – less effort, more speed.
DeepL Translations
Automated translations via DeepL, embedded directly into the workflow. A company glossary ensures that brand-specific terms are translated consistently.
Smart Media Management
Automatic image descriptions, intelligent tagging, and document translations make media management more efficient and less error-prone.
AI-powered Process Optimization
From accelerating individual tasks to simplifying complex workflows – the AI Services in OMN support the team where it matters most.
The results speak for themselves.
