Contexte
Swedish production nurseries sell complete ranges of trees, shrubs, climbers and perennials. The individual company's own production is one part, other products are purchased from Swedish colleagues or imported. In total, the nurseries sell several thousand species and varieties, most of which are also marketed in a number of different qualities and sizes. For each product, nurseries need to provide, in addition to correct Swedish and scientific names, solid information on height, breadth, appearance, growth, hardiness, suitable soil, habitat, tolerance for urban environments, salt and wind resistance etc.
The innovation is briefly a PIM (Product Information Management) system that we develop further based on the needs of the Swedish production nurseries. The system has a database that, after adaptation, facilitates the process of handling and continuously updating a very large and varied amount of data regarding nursery plants. But above all, we develop a model that enables us to use the data/information in an automated, safe, tidy and cost effective way in different customized formats - printed as well as digital and also through web pages.
Objectives
The intention is to assist Swedish nurseries in reaching out to different customers and customer groups in a professional manner and stand strong in competition with imports - at a cost that the Swedish companies are able to bear.
Objectives
Avsikten är att innovationen ska bidra till att svenska plantskoleföretag når ut till kunder och kundgrupper på ett professionellt sätt och står starka i konkurrensen med importen – till en kostnad som de svenska företagen förmår bära.
Activities
We structure information about nursery plants in a way that allows us to choose the facts that we want in each occasion for print or web, we build corresponding structure in the PIM system and import the information. Furthermore we develop functions in the system for the information to be presented in an appealing way in print and on the web. We also develop methods for communication between the nurseries business systems and the PIM system.
Activities
Vi strukturerar aktuell information på ett sätt som gör att vi vid varje tillfälle kan plocka de uppgifter vi önskar till trycksaker och webb, bygger motsvarande nödvändig struktur i PIM-systemet samt importerar informationen. Vidare utvecklar vi funktioner i systemet för att informationen ska presenteras på ett tiltalande sätt i trycksaker och på webb. Parallellt med detta utvecklar vi metoder för smidig kommunikation mellan plantskoleföretagens affärssystem och PIM-systemet.
