Compano PIM-software kick starts German transformation Oventrop

Since 2016 the Dutch division of Oventrop—a leading European manufacturer of valves and controls for cooling, drinking water and central heating—has been working intensively with Compano software to manage its product data. Oventrop had clear motives for making this choice, as Dennis van den Pol, sales manager at Oventrop Netherlands explains: ‘In 2013 we left our former importer, because of developments in the market. We saw better opportunities for us to operate on our own. We detected a growing need for product data. This was also the reason I considered several issues concerning these developments:

• What is product data used for?
• What would be the requirements for product data at Oventrop Netherlands?
• What is the cycle of supply and demand in product data?

I noticed that a growing number of companies was frequently updating their product data and I saw a whole slew of customers and engineers asking for this kind of data. So, we wanted to respond to this development.’
