BASICS OFFICE PRODUCTS

Basics Office Products (Basics) is a network of independent Office Supplies wholesalers and retailers (dealers) that share a number of services such as Merchandising, Marketing and Accounting.  Critical to the Dealers network operations is the common Product Information Management (PIM) software solution and processes.

Basics engaged Litcom to conduct a PIM Upgrade Assessment. The objective of the assessment was to provide Basics with the information and insight required to:

Decide whether a particular PIM upgrade was the right path forward or whether other PIM solutions should be explored;

Effectively scope the upgrade or replacement project to reduce project cost while accounting for current and future functional and technical requirements, data restructuring and required changes, software customization and infrastructure; and

Assist with preparing a business case for the recommended path forward to Basics President, Buying Groups Leadership and Board of Directors.

Litcom conducted a functional requirement gathering exercise to capture current requirements and assess their validity for the future, understand Basics strategic directions and identify new requirements.

We also conducted a review and analysis of all required integrations with individual Dealer’s ERP and E-commerce platforms as well as a review and analysis of all reporting requirements for National Office Executives, National Office Merchandising and Marketing teams and Dealership Managers.

Our deliverable was a complete set of recommendations pertaining to the PIM solution, the Integration platform, on-premises vs cloud options, the technology infrastructure required, and the overall project approach.  Litcom also worked with project sponsors and Executives to develop a business case, a budget and an ROI estimate.  On the basis of our recommendations, the client decided to proceed with the project.

“We engaged Litcom to conduct a Product Information Management Upgrade Assessment for our company and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with the results. The team at Litcom provided us with the necessary information and insights to make informed decisions about our PIM system. We were able to make informed decisions about our PIM system and upgrade it to better meet the needs of our business.”

Former President and CEO
