In the spring of 2021, Stéphanie Bourgeois, the Marketing Director at Pierre Frey, embarked on a strategic initiative to enhance their home interiors catalog creation process. Discovering Pagination’s innovative solutions marked the beginning of a transformative journey for Pierre Frey, culminating in a significant advancement in their marketing capabilities through automation.
The collaboration between Pierre Frey and Pagination has led to the doubling of catalog projects and the establishment of a strong partnership characterized by continuous dialogue and mutual trust in innovation.
A Journey Through Time and Aesthetics
The French Maison Pierre Frey, renowned for its contribution to interior decoration, has been a symbol of artistic innovation and aesthetic excellence since its inception in 1935. This family-owned business has distinguished itself through its exceptional offerings in fabrics, wallpapers, carpets, and furniture, bridging traditional French craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Faced with the complexities of manual catalog creation and maintenance, Stéphanie Bourgeois and the Pierre Frey marketing team sought a solution to streamline their processes, enhance accuracy, and minimize errors. Pagination’s automation technology presented the answer, offering a new level of efficiency and precision.
