Dormakaba’s Continued Success in Streamlining Price List Creation

Dormakaba, the global security group based in Rümlang, Switzerland, continues to enhance its operational efficiency by expanding its collaboration with Pagination. Dormakaba, formed from the merger of Kaba and Dorma in 2015, employs around 15,000 people across over 50 countries and delivers a wide range of access and security solutions, including door hardware, electronic access systems, entrance systems, and more.

Expansion of Centralized Price List Creation

In a significant move to further streamline its processes, Dormakaba has decided to centralize the creation of price lists for all its subsidiaries using Pagination’s price list software. This initiative, which commenced in 2022, now in 2024 includes Dormakaba operations in Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, alongside the already integrated branches in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal.

Unified and Flexible Solutions for Subsidiaries

The new centralized system will enable all subsidiaries to share a flexible set of templates designed to publish the entire group’s product range through the advanced catalog software. This solution is a testament to Dormakaba’s commitment to operational excellence and efficiency. The integration will accept data from both employee-uploaded Excel files via the Pagination web application and information from the group’s Product Information Management (PIM) Akeneo systems, facilitated by Pagination APIs.

Enhanced Data Management and Time Savings

The unified data file approach, which has been instrumental in the successful automation of price list creation for Dormakaba, will now serve a broader scope. By centralizing the image repository and allowing maximum freedom in template usage, Dormakaba ensures that each branch can maintain its unique requirements while benefiting from the streamlined process. This price list automation service has already saved substantial time in time-to-market for Dormakaba and is set to deliver even greater efficiency with this expanded collaboration.

Using Pagination’s InDesign data merging techniques and templates has streamlined the price list update process, boosting operational efficiency across Dormakaba’s global operations.

Looking Ahead

As Dormakaba continues to grow and innovate, the centralized price list creation project with Pagination stands as a pivotal advancement. The company remains dedicated to providing top-tier access and security solutions worldwide, with ongoing improvements to support its global operations effectively.
