Möbel Pfister AG

The company is one of the largest furniture retailers in Switzerland with 18 stores, over 1,500 employees and more than 100,000 items in its range. Price adjustments and promotions constantly generate a large demand for new, printed price posters.

Möbel Pfister relies on automated individuality in the creation of price signage. The priint:suite minimizes sources of error and enables a more efficient sales process for them.

Previously, sales staff laboriously created price posters in Word templates by researching the correct prices in the web store or sales platform and manually calculating the percentage savings. Today, the price posters are created using priint:suite, which was introduced as part of a two-stage automation project.

Various InDesign templates for the different price posters were created in the priint:suite. The innovative platform is seamlessly connected to the PIM and CDN at Möbel Pfister and ensures the correct display of content on the posters. Thanks to the dynamic assignment of access rights in the priint:suite using LDAP, employees in the stores work in their own publications – permissions are automatically assigned based on department and work location.

Triggered by price changes or promotions, simple price posters are automatically generated. However, employees can also create their own specific price signage.

Enormous time savings
Automation reduces the workload for up to 200 employees.

Minimization of errors
Thanks to the elimination of manual work and manual entries, the price posters always display the correct information and prices.

Languages
It is ensured that the posters are created in the target language in which they are needed. Differences in text length have been conceptually considered during template creation.

Employee motivation
Sales staff are freed from tedious tasks and can work system-based.

In addition to price posters, Möbel Pfister’s marketing department also relies on the priint:suite. Catalogs or brochures are produced with high frequency for the respective marketing campaigns, while the same data or media are used.

The project was implemented by Stämpfli Kommunikation and has been supported and further developed by aclevion since 2023.
