NovaDB-Update 5.1: Verbesserte Integration des Visual Editors und Low-Code-Automatisierungen

Effizienzsteigerung durch konfigurierbare Berechnungen und flexible Plattformanpassung

Das aktuelle NovaDB-Update optimiert die Integration des Visual Editors und erweitert die Plattform für Low-Code-Automatisierungen. Unternehmen können damit beispielsweise komplexe Preisberechnungen inklusive Rabatten, Steuern und Lieferkosten durchführen, und dabei Werte des kompletten Datenbestands nutzen (z.B. Zugriff auf externe Preisgruppen) – ohne projektspezifische Programmierung. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht das Update eine schnellere Anpassung an die eigenen Anforderungen, inklusive Automatisierungen für Marktplätze wie Amazon, ebay, Kaufland usw.

Würzburg, 14. Mai 2025 – Die Noxum GmbH, ein führender Anbieter von Informationsmanagement-Systemen, stellt das neueste Update von NovaDB vor. Mit den neuen Funktionen setzt Noxum seine Strategie fort, Anpassungen direkt im System per Low-Code zu ermöglichen und den Aufwand für individuelle Programmierungen zu minimieren. Unter Low-Code versteht man dabei die Möglichkeit, Anpassungen über Konfigurationen mitminimalen Programmierkenntnissen vorzunehmen.

Auutomatisierung ohne Programmierung

Dank der neuen Funktion für berechnete Werte können Unternehmen nun beispielsweise komplexe Preisberechnungen direkt in NovaDB abbilden. Dabei können neben dem Basispreis auch Rabatte, länderspezifische Steuern und Lieferkosten aus externen Systemen wie SAP berücksichtigt. Diese berechneten Werte können nicht nur in der Suche und für Reports verwendet, sondern auch direkt in Ausleitungen für Plattformen wie Amazon, ebay, Kaufland usw. genutzt werden.

Schneller von der Idee zur Lösung

Ein besonderer Mehrwert liegt darin, dass Anpassungen dieser Art bislang individuell programmiert wurden und bei Updates zusätzlichen Testaufwand erforderten. Mit dem neuen Release wird dieser Aufwand nun deutlich reduziert. Jetzt können Kunden direkt auf die neuen Funktionen zugreifen, ohne dass Anpassungen bei jedem NovaDB-Update erneut geprüft werden müssen. Dies erleichtert die Update-Prozesse erheblich und stärkt die Vorteile der SaaS-Lösung.

Mit den neuen Low-Code-Funktionen ermöglichen wir unseren Kunden, ihre Geschäftsprozesse noch effizienter zu gestalten und schneller auf Marktanforderungen zu reagieren. Neue Anforderungen lassen sich in Workshops direkt im System konfigurieren – ohne aufwendige Pflichtenheft-Phase. So werden konkrete Ergebnisse schneller erzielt und Projekte zielgerichtet umgesetzt.

Bessere Content-Erstellung mit dem Visual Editor

Mit dem Update 5.1 wurde die Integration des Visual Editors in NovaDB in verschiedenen Aspekten verbessert, unter anderem das Zusammenspiel mit der Delivery API und die Unterstützung von Vorschauen. Damit können Inhalte schneller und zielgerichteter für verschiedene Kanäle aufbereitet werden. Verbesserung der Tastatursteuerung bei der Content-Erstellung im Visual Editor für eine effizientere Arbeitsweise.

DAM vs. CMS: Unterschiede und Zusammenwirken

Unternehmen erstellen und verwalten heute eine immense Menge an digitalen Inhalten. Um diese Inhalte effizient zu speichern, zu organisieren und zu verteilen, sind zwei Systeme besonders wichtig: Digital Asset Management (DAM)-Systeme und Content Management Systeme (CMS). Auch wenn sie sich auf den ersten Blick ähneln, dienen diese beiden Systeme unterschiedlichen Zwecken.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen DAM und CMS?

Ein Digital Asset Management (DAM)-System dient als zentraler Speicherort für umfangreiche Medieninhalte wie Bilder, Videos, Grafiken und Dokumente. Es verbessert die Zugänglichkeit, unterstützt eine konsistente Markenführung und ermöglicht eine nahtlose Zusammenarbeit in Teams, indem digitale Assets effizient organisiert und verteilt werden.

Ein Content Management System (CMS) hingegen konzentriert sich auf die Erstellung, Verwaltung und Veröffentlichung von Website- und E-Commerce-Inhalten – darunter Blogbeiträge, Produktinformationen und multimediale Inhalte. Es stellt benutzerfreundliche Werkzeuge bereit, mit denen Inhalte schnell und konsistent über digitale Kanäle publiziert werden können.

Während ein CMS auf strukturierte Inhalte und Web-Publishing optimiert ist und ein DAM sich auf die Verwaltung und Verteilung von Medienressourcen spezialisiert, ergänzen sich beide Systeme ideal. Unternehmen, die sowohl strukturierte Inhalte als auch umfangreiche Mediendateien verwalten, profitieren von der Integration beider Lösungen – durch effizientere Workflows und ein durchgängiges Markenerlebnis.

DAM Erklärt

Ein Digital Asset Management (DAM)-System ist ein leistungsstarkes Tool, das Unternehmen bei der Verwaltung ihrer digitalen Medienbestände an einem zentralen Ort unterstützt. Durch die Bereitstellung von erweiterten Suchfunktionen, Metadaten-Tagging und automatisierten Workflows rationalisiert ein DAM-System die Bestandsverwaltung, verbessert die Zusammenarbeit im Team und erhöht die Markenkonsistenz.

Unternehmen aus verschiedenen Branchen, wie z. B. Einzelhandel, Medien, Marketing, Bildung und Produktion, nutzen DAM-Plattformen, um die Zugänglichkeit von Inhalten, die Einhaltung von Vorschriften und die ordnungsgemäße Nutzung sicherzustellen. Ohne ein DAM-System sind Mediendateien oft verstreut, Workflows ineffizient die Versionskontrolle erschwert, was zu Zeitverschwendung und inkonsistentem Branding führen kann.

Zentrale Merkmale von DAM

Zentralisierte Asset-Speicherung

Ein DAM-System dient als zentraler Knotenpunkt, an dem alle digitalen Assets systematisch gespeichert werden. Damit entfällt die Notwendigkeit, Dateien an mehreren Orten zu speichern, was Redundanzen reduziert und die Zugänglichkeit verbessert.

Erweiterte Metadaten und Tagging

DAM-Plattformen ermöglichen es den Benutzern, Assets mit Metadaten zu versehen, darunter Schlüsselwörter, Beschreibungen, Kategorien und Copyright-Informationen. Dies verbessert die Durchsuchbarkeit und erleichtert das Auffinden von Dateien mithilfe von Filtern und Stichwortsuchen.

Versionskontrolle und Berechtigungen

Die Verwaltung mehrerer Versionen digitaler Assets ist vor allem für große Teams von entscheidender Bedeutung. DAM-Systeme verfolgen Änderungen und ermöglichen es den Benutzern, bei Bedarf auf frühere Versionen zurückzugreifen. Zugriffsberechtigungen stellen sicher, dass nur autorisierte Benutzer bestimmte Assets ändern oder herunterladen können.

KI-gestützte Suche und Erkennung

Viele moderne DAM-Systeme integrieren künstliche Intelligenz (KI), um die Suchfunktionen zu verbessern. KI-gesteuerte Funktionen wie Gesichtserkennung, Objekterkennung und automatische Metadatengenerierung erleichtern die Kategorisierung und das effiziente Auffinden von Assets.

Automatisierte Arbeitsabläufe

DAM-Plattformen rationalisieren die Genehmigung, Lizenzierung und Verteilung von Assets durch die Automatisierung von Arbeitsabläufen. Automatische Benachrichtigungen und rollenbasierte Berechtigungen helfen Teams bei der effektiven Zusammenarbeit, während die Qualität der Inhalte erhalten bleibt.

Integration mit Kreativwerkzeugen

DAM-Systeme lassen sich nahtlos in Design- und Content-Erstellungstools wie der Adobe Creative Cloud, Videobearbeitungssoftware und Marketing-Automatisierungsplattformen integrieren.

Markenmanagement und Compliance

Unternehmen nutzen DAM-Lösungen, um sicherzustellen, dass Teams die neuesten Assets verwenden, und verringern so das Risiko, dass veraltete oder nicht genehmigte Inhalte veröffentlicht werden. Compliance-Funktionen unterstützen Unternehmen bei der Einhaltung von Lizenzvereinbarungen, Urheberrechtsbestimmungen und Markenrichtlinien.

Asset-Verteilung über alle Kanäle

Ein DAM-System vereinfacht die Verteilung von Inhalten über mehrere Plattformen, darunter Websites, soziale Medien, E-Commerce-Plattformen und Werbekanäle. Dies gewährleistet eine konsistente Markenpräsenz über alle digitalen Kontaktpunkte hinweg.

Skalierbarkeit für große Asset-Bibliotheken

Unternehmen, die Tausende oder sogar Millionen von digitalen Assets verwalten, profitieren von der Skalierbarkeit eines DAM-Systems. Erweiterte Such-, Kategorisierungs- und Indizierungsfunktionen ermöglichen es Unternehmen, große Medienbibliotheken ohne Leistungsprobleme effizient zu verwalten.

Anwendungsbeispiele für DAM

CMS Erklärt

Ein Content Management System (CMS) ist eine Softwareplattform, die es den Nutzern ermöglicht, digitale Inhalte zu erstellen, zu verwalten und zu veröffentlichen, ohne dass umfangreiche technische Kenntnisse erforderlich sind. Es bietet einen strukturierten Rahmen für die Organisation von Webseiten, Blogbeiträgen, Produktbeschreibungen und Multimedia-Elementen wie Bildern und Videos. Unternehmen und Privatpersonen nutzen CMS-Plattformen, um die Arbeitsabläufe bei der Erstellung von Inhalten zu optimieren und eine effiziente Aktualisierung und Verteilung über digitale Kanäle zu gewährleisten. Mit ihren benutzerfreundlichen Oberflächen ermöglichen CMS-Plattformen Inhaltserstellern, Vermarktern und Webadministratoren die dynamische Verwaltung von Online-Inhalten, ohne dass sie für jede Änderung auf Entwickler angewiesen sind.

CMS-Plattformen werden in traditionelle (monolithische), Headless- und Hybrid-CMS unterteilt. Traditionelle CMS umfassen sowohl das Front-End- als auch das Back-End-Management und ermöglichen es den Benutzern, ganze Websites innerhalb einer einzigen Plattform zu erstellen und zu bearbeiten. Headless CMS trennen die Speicherung und Präsentation von Inhalten und bieten mehr Flexibilität bei der Bereitstellung von Inhalten über verschiedene digitale Touchpoints.

Zentrale Funktionen eines CMS

Erstellung und Bearbeitung von Inhalten

CMS-Plattformen bieten intuitive WYSIWYG-Editoren (What You See Is What You Get), mit denen Benutzer Inhalte ohne Programmierkenntnisse erstellen, formatieren und ändern können. Rich-Text-Editoren unterstützen Multimedia-Elemente wie Bilder, Videos und Hyperlinks.

Verwaltung von Vorlagen und Designs

CMS-Plattformen bieten vorgefertigte Vorlagen und Themen, mit deren Hilfe Benutzer Webseiten anpassen können, ohne über Designkenntnisse verfügen zu müssen. Diese Vorlagen sorgen für Konsistenz auf allen Websites und bieten mobilfreundliche Layouts.

Benutzerrollen und Berechtigungen

Ein CMS ermöglicht mehreren Benutzern die Zusammenarbeit bei der Erstellung von Inhalten, indem es ihnen verschiedene Rollen zuweist, z. B. Administratoren, Redakteure und Mitwirkende. Rollenbasierte Berechtigungen gewährleisten einen sicheren Zugriff und verhindern unbefugte Änderungen.

SEO-Optimierungswerkzeuge

Integrierte SEO-Funktionen wie Meta-Beschreibungen, URL-Optimierung, Keyword-Vorschläge und Schema-Markup helfen, die Platzierung in Suchmaschinen zu verbessern. Viele CMS-Plattformen lassen sich mit SEO-Tools von Drittanbietern integrieren, um die Sichtbarkeit zu erhöhen.

Multi-Channel-Veröffentlichung

CMS-Lösungen ermöglichen die Verteilung von Inhalten über Websites, Social-Media-Plattformen, mobile Anwendungen und E-Mail-Newsletter. Dies gewährleistet nahtlose Omnichannel-Erlebnisse für die Nutzer.

Inhaltsversionierung und Zeitplanung

Ein CMS verfolgt die Überarbeitungen von Inhalten und ermöglicht es Benutzern, bei Bedarf auf frühere Versionen zurückzugreifen. Planungsfunktionen ermöglichen eine automatisierte Veröffentlichung und stellen sicher, dass Inhaltsaktualisierungen zum richtigen Zeitpunkt bereitgestellt werden.

Integration mit Tools von Drittanbietern

CMS-Plattformen lassen sich mit Software für das Kundenbeziehungsmanagement (CRM), Marketing-Automatisierungstools, Analyseplattformen und E-Commerce-Systemen verbinden und verbessern so das gesamte digitale Erlebnis.

Personalisierung und Lokalisierung

Moderne CMS-Lösungen ermöglichen die Personalisierung von Inhalten auf der Grundlage von Benutzerverhalten, demografischen Daten und Vorlieben. Lokalisierungsfunktionen unterstützen mehrsprachige Inhalte und gewährleisten die Zugänglichkeit für globale Zielgruppen.

Anwendungsbeispiele für CMS

Unternehmens-Websites

Unternehmen nutzen CMS-Plattformen, um Websites zu erstellen und zu verwalten, die Unternehmensinformationen, Produktdetails und Dienstleistungen bereitstellen. Ein CMS gewährleistet effiziente Inhaltsaktualisierungen und Markenkonsistenz.

E-Commerce-Websites

Online-Shops verlassen sich auf CMS-integrierte E-Commerce-Lösungen, um Produktkataloge, Kundenrezensionen und Werbeinhalte zu verwalten und ein nahtloses Einkaufserlebnis zu bieten.

Was ist ein Headless CMS?

Ein Headless CMS ist ein Content-Management-System, das den Speicherort der Inhalte (Backend) von der Darstellung (Frontend) trennt und damit mehr Flexibilität bietet. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen CMS, die sowohl die Erstellung als auch die Anzeige von Inhalten kontrollieren, bietet ein Headless CMS mehr Flexibilität bei der Art und Weise, wie und wo Inhalte bereitgestellt werden.
Headless CMS-Plattformen speichern Inhalte als strukturierte Daten und ermöglichen so die Veröffentlichung über mehrere digitale Kanäle, einschließlich Websites, mobile Apps, Smart Devices und soziale Medien. Dieser Ansatz ist ideal für Unternehmen, die eine kanalübergreifende Bereitstellung von Inhalten und eine nahtlose Integration mit verschiedenen Front-End-Technologien benötigen.

Vorteile eines Headless CMS:

Omnichannel - Inhalte können gleichzeitig für Websites, mobile Apps, IoT-Geräte und Digital Signage bereitgestellt werden.
Verbesserte Leistung - Schnellere Ladezeiten durch eine schlanke Architektur und optimierte APIs.
Flexible Front-End-Entwicklung - Entwickler können jede Technologie (React, Angular, Vue.js) verwenden, um Front-End-Erlebnisse zu gestalten.
Skalierbarkeit - Unterstützt Anwendungen mit hohem Datenverkehr durch effiziente Verwaltung des Abrufs und Renderings von Inhalten.

DAM vs. CMS: Die wichtigsten Unterschiede

Hauptanwendungsgebiete

DAM (Digital Asset Management): Speichert, organisiert und verteilt Rich-Media-Dateien wie Bilder, Videos und Dokumente.
CMS (Inhaltsverwaltungssystem): Verwaltet und veröffentlicht digitale Inhalte, wie z. B. Webseiten, Blogs und strukturierte Texte.

Primäre Benutzer

DAM-Benutzer: Marketingteams, Kreativprofis, Fotografen, Videofilmer und Markenmanager.
CMS-Benutzer: Inhaltsersteller, Webentwickler, Blogger, Journalisten und Marketingfachleute.

Daten-Strukturen

DAM: Metadatengesteuerte Organisation mit Tagging, Kategorisierung und Rechteverwaltung für Medieninhalte.
CMS: Strukturierte Speicherung von Inhalten mit dynamischer Seitengenerierung und Versionskontrolle für textbasierte Inhalte.

Wie DAM und CMS zusammenarbeiten

Obwohl DAM und CMS unterschiedliche Funktionen haben, ergänzen sie sich in den Arbeitsabläufen für Inhalte. Ein DAM-System speichert und organisiert Medienressourcen, während ein CMS diese Ressourcen für die Veröffentlichung von Websites und Inhalten integriert. Durch die Verbindung beider Systeme können Unternehmen die Erstellung von Inhalten rationalisieren, die Markenkonsistenz verbessern und die Effizienz bei der Verwaltung digitaler Inhalte und strukturierter Informationen steigern.

So funktioniert die Integration:

Zentralisierte Medienbibliothek - Ein DAM speichert freigegebene Medien-Assets, auf die direkt vom CMS aus zugegriffen werden kann.
Nahtloser Asset-Abruf - Ersteller von Inhalten können Bilder, Videos und Dokumente aus dem DAM abrufen, ohne Dateien neu hochladen zu müssen.
Konsistentes Branding - Es wird sichergestellt, dass nur genehmigte und aktuelle Medieninhalte für Websites und Kampagnen verwendet werden.
Effiziente Content-Workflows - Beschleunigt die Content-Produktion durch die Automatisierung von Asset-Genehmigungen, Rechteverwaltung und Metadaten-Tagging.

Brauchen Sie sowohl DAM als auch CMS?

Die Entscheidung, ob Sie sowohl DAM als auch CMS einsetzen, hängt von der Content-Strategie Ihres Unternehmens ab. Wenn Ihr Unternehmen neben strukturierten Inhalten (Webseiten, Artikel) auch mit umfangreichen digitalen Assets (Bilder, Videos, Grafiken) arbeitet, kann die Integration beider Systeme die Arbeitsabläufe optimieren und das Content Management verbessern.

Wann DAM und CMS gleichzeitig sinnvoll sind:

Ihr Unternehmen verwaltet große Mengen von Rich-Media-Dateien für Marketing und Markenbildung.
Sie benötigen einen strukturierten Ansatz für die Veröffentlichung von Inhalten über digitale Kanäle.
Mehrere Teams (z. B. Marketing, Design, Vertrieb) benötigen Zugriff auf dieselben Inhalte
Sie möchten die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Marketing-, Kreativ- und Content-Teams verbessern.
Regelmäßiger Umgang mit komplexer Lizenzierung, Rechteverwaltung und Verfallsdaten

Einige moderne CMS-Plattformen wie NovaDB enthalten bereits wesentliche DAM-Funktionen wie Medienspeicherung, Metadatenmanagement, Versionskontrolle und Ablaufdaten. Diese Funktionen ermöglichen es Unternehmen, Media Assets wie Bilder, Videos und Dokumente direkt im CMS zu verwalten, anzureichern und zu pflegen - und damit viele grundlegende Asset-Management-Anforderungen zu erfüllen, ohne ein separates DAM-System zu benötigen.

CMS und DAM dienen jedoch grundlegend unterschiedlichen Zwecken. Ein CMS konzentriert sich auf das Erstellen, Verwalten und Veröffentlichen von strukturierten Inhalten über Websites und digitale Kanäle, während ein DAM auf die Organisation, Kontrolle und Verteilung großer Mengen von Rich Media Assets spezialisiert ist. Das eine kann das andere nicht ersetzen.

Für Unternehmen mit umfangreichen Medienbibliotheken, komplexem Rechtemanagement oder Anforderungen an die Verteilung von Assets über mehrere Kanäle ist ein dediziertes DAM-System nach wie vor unerlässlich. Gleichzeitig können CMS-Plattformen mit integrierten DAM-Funktionen eine effektive Lösung für einfachere Asset-Management-Aufgaben sein.

Letztendlich geht es nicht darum, sich zwischen CMS und DAM zu entscheiden, sondern darum, die Lösung auf Ihre spezifischen Geschäftsanforderungen abzustimmen. CMS und DAM ergänzen sich gegenseitig und bilden eine leistungsstarke Grundlage für effizientes Content- und Medienmanagement.

Headless CMS trifft auf visuelles Editing: Flexibilität für Entwickler, Usability für Content-Teams

Was ist ein visueller Editor in einem Headless CMS?

Ein visueller Editor in einem Headless CMS ist eine Schnittstelle, die es den Erstellern von Inhalten ermöglicht, Inhalte direkt im Layout zu bearbeiten, zu formatieren und zu verwalten, und die Echtzeitvorschauen oder Vorschaufunktionen bietet.

Diese Editoren schließen die Lücke zwischen Entwicklern und Content-Teams, indem sie eine benutzerfreundlichere Möglichkeit bieten, Inhalte zu erstellen, zu bearbeiten und zu verwalten, ohne dass tiefgreifende technische Kenntnisse erforderlich sind. Von Drag-and-Drop-Buildern bis hin zu WYSIWYG-Oberflächen sorgen diese Tools dafür, dass Teams überzeugende digitale Erlebnisse effizient erstellen können, ohne bei kleineren Änderungen auf Entwickler angewiesen zu sein.

Die Herausforderung der Inhaltsredaktion in einem Headless CMS

Headless Content Management Systeme (CMS) machen es Unternehmen möglich, Inhalte auf flexiblere und effizientere Weise plattformübergreifend zu verwalten und zu verbreiten. Ein Headless CMS trennt die Speicherung der Inhalte von dem Teil, den die Benutzer tatsächlich sehen. Da die Daten im Backend sicher aufbewahrt werden, können sie jedes beliebige Frontend erstellen - heute eine Website, morgen eine mobile App, als nächstes vielleicht eine Smartwatch. Ein Satz von Inhalten versorgt jeden Kanal, skaliert mit wachsendem Traffic und sorgt für ein einheitliches Erlebnis.

Diese Freiheit ist jedoch oft mit einem Kompromiss verbunden. Content-Redakteure und Vermarkter, die an herkömmliche WYSIWYG-Editoren (What You See Is What You Get) gewöhnt sind, haben möglicherweise Schwierigkeiten mit Headless-CMS-Oberflächen, denen intuitive visuelle Echtzeit-Bearbeitungsfunktionen fehlen.

In herkömmlichen CMS-Plattformen verfügen Redakteure in der Regel über eine integrierte Vorschau, die zeigt, wie ihre Änderungen auf der Website erscheinen werden. In Headless-CMS-Umgebungen werden die Inhalte jedoch getrennt vom Frontend verwaltet, so dass eine direkte Vorschau standardmäßig nicht verfügbar ist. Moderne Headless-Systeme unterstützen die Vorschaufunktionalität zwar häufig durch benutzerdefinierte Integrationen oder integrierte Tools, doch für technisch nicht versierte Benutzer ist sie im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen WYSIWYG-Editoren möglicherweise weniger intuitiv. Dies hat zu einer steigenden Nachfrage nach visuellen Editoren geführt, die die Flexibilität der Headless-Architektur mit einer benutzerfreundlicheren Bearbeitungserfahrung kombinieren.

Beliebteste Editoren in einem Headless CMS

Nachdem wir uns angeschaut haben, wie visuelle Editoren das Erlebnis eines Headless CMS verbessern können, ist es wichtig, die breitere Palette der verfügbaren Editierwerkzeuge zu verstehen. Headless CMS-Plattformen bieten verschiedene Editor-Typen an, um unterschiedlichen inhaltlichen Anforderungen und technischen Kenntnissen gerecht zu werden - von visuellen Drag-and-Drop-Tools bis hin zu textbasierten Editoren für Entwickler. Im Folgenden finden Sie einen Überblick über einige der am häufigsten verwendeten Optionen.

Visueller Drag-and-Drop-Editor

Drag-and-Drop-Editoren bieten eine intuitive Möglichkeit, Inhaltselemente visuell zu erstellen und anzuordnen. Benutzer können einfach Textfelder, Bilder, Schaltflächen und andere Elemente auf die Seite ziehen, ohne sich mit Code auseinandersetzen zu müssen. Dies ist besonders nützlich für Vermarkter und Designer, die schnell und ohne technische Eingriffe dynamische Seiten erstellen möchten. Im Gegensatz zu blockbasierten oder WYSIWYG-Editoren konzentrieren sich Drag-and-Drop-Editoren auf die Kontrolle des gesamten Seitenlayouts und bieten den Benutzern eine sehr visuelle Bearbeitungserfahrung.

Vorteile:

Äußerst benutzerfreundlich
Keine Kodierung erforderlich
Ermöglicht die schnelle Erstellung von Inhalten und Layoutänderungen

Nachteile:

Kann Einschränkungen für stark angepasste Inhaltslayouts mit sich bringen
Kann für Entwickler, die eine genaue Kontrolle benötigen, weniger flexibel sein

WYSIWYG-Editor

Mit einem WYSIWYG-Editor (What You See Is What You Get) können Benutzer Inhalte mit vertrauten Werkzeugen wie Fett- und Kursivdruck, Aufzählungszeichen und dem Einfügen von Bildern formatieren und so nachahmen, wie die Inhalte im Frontend aussehen werden. Dieser Editor ist vorteilhaft für Inhaltsersteller, die bei der Bearbeitung textbasierter Inhalte eine Echtzeitvorschau wünschen.

Vorteile:

Einfach zu bedienen für nicht-technische Benutzer
Bietet eine Echtzeit-Vorschau von Formatierungsänderungen

Nachteile:

Begrenzte Möglichkeiten für erweiterte Anpassungen
Die Formatierung stimmt möglicherweise nicht immer perfekt mit der endgültigen Darstellung auf verschiedenen Geräten überein

Markdown-Editor

Ein Markdown-Editor ist zwar kein visueller Editor im engeren Sinne, aber ein leichtgewichtiger, syntaxbasierter Content-Editor, mit dem Benutzer Text mit einfachen Befehlen wie # für Überschriften oder **fett** für fettgedruckten Text formatieren können. Entwickler, technische Redakteure und Blogger verlassen sich oft auf Markdown, um klare, strukturierte Inhalte zu erstellen, ohne die visuellen Rückmeldungen oder Layoutfunktionen, die in visuellen oder blockbasierten Editoren zu finden sind.

Vorteile:

Schnell und effizient für textlastige Inhalte
Ideal für Entwickler und technische Redakteure

Nachteile:

Erfordert Kenntnisse der Markdown-Syntax
Keine sofortige visuelle Vorschau

HTML- und Code-Editor

Für fortgeschrittene Benutzer und Entwickler bietet ein HTML-Editor volle Kontrolle über die Formatierung und Struktur von Inhalten. Benutzer können HTML, CSS und JavaScript direkt im CMS schreiben, um die Struktur und Formatierung von Inhalten für die Darstellung im Frontend genau zu definieren.

Vorteile:

Maximale Flexibilität für benutzerdefinierte Inhaltsstrukturen
Unverzichtbar für Entwickler, die Kontrolle über die Präsentation benötigen

Nachteile:

Nicht benutzerfreundlich für nichttechnische Inhaltsredakteure
Erfordert Programmierkenntnisse

Blockbasierter Editor

Ein blockbasierter Editor strukturiert Inhalte in wiederverwendbare Blöcke aus Text, Bildern, Videos und anderen Medienelementen. Jeder Block arbeitet unabhängig und ermöglicht die modulare Erstellung von Inhalten, die problemlos auf verschiedenen Seiten und Plattformen wiederverwendet werden können.

Vorteile:

Fördert die strukturierte Verwaltung von Inhalten
Verbessert die Wiederverwendbarkeit und Konsistenz beim Betrieb mehrerer Websites

Nachteile:

Kann im Vergleich zu Freiform-Editoren restriktiv wirken
Erfordert eine Ersteinrichtung zur Definition von Inhaltsblöcken

Die wichtigsten Vorteile eines Headless CMS mit einem visuellen Editor

Die Integration eines visuellen Editors in ein Headless CMS vereint das Beste aus beiden Welten: Es bietet die Flexibilität und Skalierbarkeit eines Headless-Systems und sorgt gleichzeitig dafür, dass die Ersteller von Inhalten effizient arbeiten können. Hier sind einige der wichtigsten Vorteile:

Vereinfachte Inhaltserstellung

Visuelle Editoren ermöglichen es auch technisch nicht versierten Benutzern, Inhalte einfach zu erstellen und zu bearbeiten, ohne auf Entwickler angewiesen zu sein. Dies beschleunigt den Prozess der Inhaltserstellung und ermöglicht Marketingteams die schnelle Durchführung von Kampagnen.

Vorschau und Bearbeitung in Echtzeit

Eine große Herausforderung in Headless-CMS-Umgebungen ist das Fehlen einer direkten Vorschau. Visuelle Editoren bieten eine Echtzeitvorschau, die sicherstellt, dass die Inhalte vor der Veröffentlichung genau so erscheinen, wie sie beabsichtigt sind.

Verbesserte Kollaboration

Mit benutzerfreundlichen Bearbeitungstools können Teams effizienter zusammenarbeiten, wodurch das Hin und Her zwischen Entwicklern und Content-Erstellern reduziert wird. Marketingspezialisten können unabhängig arbeiten, ohne bei kleineren Änderungen auf die Unterstützung der Entwickler warten zu müssen. Andere Abteilungen können ebenfalls einen intuitiven visuellen Editor verwenden, um Inhalte oder Aktualisierungen beizusteuern, ohne dass eine umfangreiche Schulung erforderlich ist.

Konsistente Omnichannel-Erfahrung

Headless CMS-Plattformen verteilen Inhalte über mehrere Kanäle, darunter Websites, mobile Apps und IoT-Geräte. Ein visueller Editor hilft dabei, die Konsistenz der Inhalte zu wahren, indem er eine strukturierte Formatierung bietet, die sich nahtlos an verschiedene Plattformen anpasst. Darüber hinaus können Teams Vorlagen einrichten, die auf die verschiedenen Kanäle zugeschnitten sind. So können Inhaltsersteller problemlos plattformspezifische Inhalte erstellen und gleichzeitig ein konsistentes Markenerlebnis aufrechterhalten.

Gesteigerte Produktivität

Durch die geringere Abhängigkeit von Entwicklern bei der Formatierung und Anpassung von Inhalten können sich die Teams schneller auf die Erstellung hochwertiger Inhalte konzentrieren, was die Gesamtproduktivität steigert.

Anpassbarkeit und Flexibilität

Ein guter visueller Editor ermöglicht maßgeschneiderte Content-Strukturen, die auf unterschiedliche Content-Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten sind, während die Flexibilität eines Headless CMS für Entwickler erhalten bleibt, um APIs und Front-End-Frameworks nach Bedarf zu integrieren.

Geringere Fehler und Formatierungsprobleme

Durch strukturierte Vorlagen und visuelles Feedback können Redakteure Inkonsistenzen bei der Darstellung von Inhalten vermeiden, was zu einem besseren Nutzererlebnis führt.

Bei visuellen Editoren zu beachtende Einschränkungen

Nicht immer die beste Lösung für jeden Anwendungsfall

Visuelle Editoren eignen sich hervorragend für die Gestaltung umfangreicher Inhalte und Seitenlayouts, aber sie sind in bestimmten Szenarien nicht die beste Lösung. Wenn Sie beispielsweise strukturierte Daten (z.B. SKUs, Attribute, Übersetzungen) in einem Produktinformationsmanagement-System (PIM) verarbeiten, ist ein formularbasierter Editor sinnvoller, da er Validierung auf Feldebene und Massenaktionen bietet, um die Daten sauber und die Prozesse effizient zu halten.

Reduzierte Sichtbarkeit der zugrundeliegenden Datenmodelle

Mit visuellen Editoren können Sie das Layout in Minutenschnelle anordnen, aber sie verbergen die zugrunde liegenden Datenstrukturen. Wenn Sie Felder, Relationen oder Einschränkungen nicht sehen können, kann es passieren, dass Content-Teams von dem Modell abweichen, das Entwickler erwarten. Diese Lücke führt zu fehlerhaften Vorlagen und Nacharbeit.

Schwierige Anpassung an bestehende Inhaltsstrukturen

Die Integration eines visuellen Editors in ein bestehendes Headless CMS ist nicht immer ein Kinderspiel. Wenn Ihr Inhaltsmodell nicht auf Drag-and-Drop ausgelegt war, müssen Sie Schemata überarbeiten, Präsentationsmetadaten hinzufügen und Beziehungen neu definieren. Diese Änderungen sind nicht trivial - sie beanspruchen Budget und Aufmerksamkeit.

Die Zukunft von Headless CMS ist visuell

Die Entwicklung von Headless-CMS-Lösungen hat neue Möglichkeiten für die Verwaltung von Inhalten eröffnet, die eine beispiellose Flexibilität und eine kanalübergreifende Bereitstellung von Inhalten ermöglichen. Für Unternehmen, die sich bei der Verwaltung ihrer digitalen Präsenz auf nicht-technische Benutzer verlassen, ist der Bedarf an intuitiven Tools zur Bearbeitung von Inhalten jedoch nach wie vor entscheidend.

Ein Headless CMS mit einem visuellen Editor bietet das Beste aus beiden Welten und stellt sicher, dass Content-Ersteller, Marketer und Entwickler nahtlos zusammenarbeiten können. Im Zuge des technologischen Fortschritts können wir mit noch ausgefeilteren visuellen Bearbeitungsfunktionen rechnen, die die Effizienz, Kreativität und Skalierbarkeit des Content Managements verbessern.

Für Unternehmen, die ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Flexibilität und Benutzerfreundlichkeit anstreben, ist ein Headless CMS mit leistungsstarken visuellen Editor der Schlüssel zur Zukunftssicherheit ihrer Content-Strategie.

Ein Praxisbeispiel für Effizienz, Konsistenz und Time-to-Market in der Produktkommunikation

PFENNIG Reinigungstechnik setzt bereits seit Längerem erfolgreich NovaDB PIM für die zentrale Verwaltung seiner Produktdaten ein. Im Rahmen eines weiteren Entwicklungsschritts wurde die Lösung nun gezielt erweitert: Die Erstellung von umfangreichen Produktkatalogen erfolgt heute automatisiert – direkt aus dem PIM-System heraus. Das Projekt zeigt, wie bestehende Strukturen effizient ausgebaut und neue Anwendungsbereiche mit hohem Mehrwert erschlossen werden können.

Ausgangslage und Zielsetzung

Bis zur Einführung der automatisierten Lösung wurde der umfangreiche Produktkatalog – mit rund 200 Seiten – manuell in Adobe InDesign gesetzt. Jede Änderung an Produktdaten oder Layouts erforderte zeitaufwändige Eingriffe und wiederholte Abstimmungen zwischen Produktmanagement, Marketing und Grafik.

Ziele der Weiterentwicklung waren, den manuellen Aufwand in der Katalogproduktion drastisch zu reduzieren, Medienbrüche zu vermeiden und Aktualisierungen zu vereinfachen. Gleichzeitig sollte sichergestellt werden, dass Layout-Vorgaben flexibel umsetzbar bleiben und die internationale Vermarktung durch sprachspezifische Katalogversionen für den deutsch-, englisch- und französischsprachigen Markt unterstützt werden.

Erweiterung der NovaDB PIM Nutzung – zentrale Funktionen im Überblick

Katalogstruktur per Drag-and-Drop

Die Katalogstruktur lässt sich intuitiv per Drag-and-Drop direkt im System zusammenstellen – ohne komplexe Konfigurationen. So können Marketing- und Produktverantwortliche Kapitel, Emotionsseiten und Produktblöcke intuitiv anordnen – ganz ohne technisches Vorwissen oder externe Layout-Werkzeuge. Die benutzerfreundliche Oberfläche beschleunigt die Strukturierung und fördert die Eigenständigkeit der Fachabteilungen.

Ein Leitfaden für PIM-Datenmodelle

PIM-Datenmodelle richtig denken: Fundament für effiziente Produktkommunikation

Ob neue Produktlinien, internationale Märkte oder verändertes Kundenverhalten – Unternehmen stehen zunehmend vor der Herausforderung, ihre Produktinformationen effizient und einheitlich zu verwalten. Produktinformationsmanagement-Systeme (PIM) bieten hierfür eine Lösung: Sie strukturieren Produktdaten zentral und bereiten sie für alle relevanten Kanäle markenkonform auf. Je vielfältiger das Produktsortiment und internationaler die Märkte, desto komplexer wird die Pflege und konsistente Bereitstellung von Produktdaten. 

Damit dieses System jedoch effizient funktioniert, braucht es eine klare innere Struktur: das PIM-Datenmodell. In diesem Leitfaden werfen wir einen praxisnahen Blick auf den Aufbau von PIM-Datenmodellen, ihre Vorteile und konkrete Umsetzungstipps.

Was ist ein PIM-Datenmodell?

Ein PIM-Datenmodell ist die strukturierte Grundlage für die Verwaltung und Verteilung von Produktinformationen – und ist damit das Herzstück eines erfolgreichen Produktdatenmanagements. Es definiert, wie Daten wie Produktattribute, Hierarchien oder Beziehungen organisiert werden, um sie effektiv nutzbar zu machen – nicht nur für das Marketing, sondern auch für viele andere Bereiche im Unternehmen. Einkauf, Vertrieb, Produktmanagement, E-Commerce oder Support profitieren gleichermaßen von einem konsistenten Datenmodell, das die bereichsübergreifende Zusammenarbeit erleichtert und eine belastbare Entscheidungsgrundlage bietet.

Zentrale Bestandteile eines PIM-Datenmodells

Produktattribute umfassen sowohl grundlegende Merkmale wie Größe, Farbe oder Material als auch komplexere Informationen wie technische Spezifikationen, Umweltkennzeichnungen oder Nutzungshinweise. Sie dienen der klaren Differenzierung von Produkten und bilden die Basis für gezielte Vermarktung und individuelle Kundenansprache. Dazu zählen unter anderem folgende Aspekte:

Produkthierarchien strukturieren das Sortiment in Kategorien und Unterkategorien – das verbessert die Navigation und Auffindbarkeit von Informationen.
Produktbeziehungen wie Zubehör (Cross-Selling) oder höherwertige Alternativen (Up-Selling) fördern gezielte Kaufimpulse.
Medieninhalte wie Bilder oder Videos werden über integriertes Digital Asset Management (DAM) verwaltet und direkt mit Produktdaten verknüpft – ein entscheidender Vorteil für visuelles Storytelling und konsistente Markenauftritte.
Mehrsprachigkeit und Lokalisierung ermöglichen die Pflege sprach- und landesspezifischer Inhalte. So lassen sich Informationen gezielt für internationale Märkte und Zielgruppen bereitstellen.
Versionierung und Historie erlauben die Nachverfolgung und Kontrolle von Änderungen an Produktdaten – essenziell für Qualitätssicherung, Audits und langfristige Datenpflege.
Kanalabhängige Datenpflege unterstützt die bedarfsgerechte Aufbereitung von Inhalten für unterschiedliche Ausgabekanäle wie Webshops, Printkataloge oder Marktplätze.
Regeln und Vererbungslogik definieren, wie Eigenschaften innerhalb von Hierarchien vererbt oder überschrieben werden – ein wichtiger Mechanismus zur Automatisierung und Vereinheitlichung von Datenpflege.
Validierungs- und Freigabestatus ermöglichen die Markierung geprüfter Inhalte und definieren, wann Daten vollständig, freigegeben oder noch in Bearbeitung sind – eine wichtige Grundlage für Qualitätssicherung und Prozesssicherheit.
Gültigkeitszeiträume legen fest, wann bestimmte Informationen aktiv sind oder automatisch ausgeblendet bzw. ersetzt werden – etwa bei zeitlich begrenzten Aktionen, Sortimentswechseln oder gesetzlichen Änderungen.

Vorteile eines PIM-Datenmodells für das Marketing

Markenkonsistenz durch zentrale Daten

PIM-Systeme sorgen dafür, dass alle Kanäle auf einheitliche, geprüfte Produktinformationen zugreifen – unabhängig davon, ob es sich um Online-Shops, Kataloge oder Social Media handelt. Das reduziert Abweichungen und Missverständnisse. Auch bei internationalen Kampagnen ermöglicht ein flexibles Datenmodell die Lokalisierung von Inhalten, ohne die Markenidentität zu beeinträchtigen. So lassen sich kulturelle Besonderheiten und regulatorische Anforderungen gezielt adressieren – bei gleichzeitig einheitlicher Markenbotschaft.

Effizienz und Umsetzung in der Marketingpraxis

Ein gut strukturiertes PIM-Datenmodell unterstützt die Segmentierung nach Zielgruppen oder Marktbedürfnissen – ideal für personalisierte Kampagnen mit hoher Relevanz und Konversionskraft. Gleichzeitig beschleunigt ein integriertes PIM-System die Markteinführung, indem es zentrale Datenpflege, automatisierte Ausspielung und konsistente Inhalte über alle Kanäle hinweg vereint. Die automatisierte Verteilung der Daten auf verschiedene Kanäle reduziert manuelle Prozesse und Fehlerquellen. Durch vordefinierte Filter- und Vererbungslogiken können etwa saisonale Produktinformationen automatisch für bestimmte Regionen angepasst oder Aktionsangebote länderspezifisch ausgesteuert werden.

Herausforderungen und Lösungen

Komplexität der Datenquellen und Harmonisierung

Eine konsistente und strukturierte Datenbasis ist das Rückgrat jedes funktionierenden PIM-Datenmodells. Die Harmonisierung von Produktinformationen stellt dabei eine besonders anspruchsvolle Aufgabe dar – insbesondere, wenn Zulieferer, Händler oder Partner mit eigenen, voneinander abweichenden Datenmodellen arbeiten. Produktinformationen liegen oft in uneinheitlichen Formaten vor – beispielsweise in Excel-Dateien oder Freitextfeldern –, was die systematische Integration erschwert. Ein klassisches Beispiel: Während ein Lieferant die Farbe eines Produkts als \"dunkelblau\" angibt, verwendet ein anderer die Bezeichnung \"marineblau\" – oder statt \"Größe\" steht in einer Datei \"Maßangabe\". Auch unterschiedliche Einheiten, Schreibweisen oder Interpretationen für ein und dasselbe Merkmal führen zu Inkonsistenzen, die mühsam bereinigt werden müssen.

Intelligente Werkzeuge zur Datenharmonisierung

Die Qualität und Einheitlichkeit eines PIM-Datenmodells hängt maßgeblich davon ab, wie effizient externe und interne Produktinformationen integriert werden können. Moderne Systeme wie NovaDB PIM unterstützen diesen Prozess mit intelligenten Funktionen: Ein KI-gestütztes Attribut-Mapping identifiziert automatisch semantisch ähnliche oder gleichbedeutende Begriffe und ordnet sie den vorgesehenen Modellstrukturen zu. Zusätzlich erleichtert z.B. das NovaDB Excel-Plugin den Import und die Massendatenpflege durch strukturierte Validierung direkt im Arbeitsprozess – besonders hilfreich bei großen, heterogenen Datenmengen. So lassen sich unterschiedliche Bezeichnungslogiken oder Schreibweisen effizient auf das gewünschte Datenmodell abbilden. Diese Werkzeuge stellen sicher, dass eingehende Informationen systematisch auf die definierte Struktur des PIM-Datenmodells angepasst werden und schaffen die notwendige Grundlage für konsistente Datenpflege, automatisierte Ausspielung und strategische Nutzung über alle Kanäle hinweg.

Dynamik von Produktdaten und Änderungsmanagement

Eine weitere Herausforderung für ein stabiles und dauerhaft nutzbares PIM-Datenmodell ist die kontinuierliche Pflege angesichts sich ständig wandelnder Produktinformationen. Neue gesetzliche Vorgaben, geänderte Sortimentstrukturen oder regionale Marktanpassungen führen regelmäßig zu notwendigen Änderungen in den Daten. Diese Anpassungen müssen nicht nur technisch im PIM-System nachvollzogen, sondern auch konsequent in das bestehende Datenmodell integriert werden. Fehlt ein strukturiertes Änderungsmanagement, drohen Inkonsistenzen oder Redundanzen – selbst wenn die Ausgangsdaten harmonisiert waren. Daher ist es entscheidend, PIM-Datenmodelle so zu gestalten, dass sie flexibel auf Veränderungen reagieren können, ohne ihre logische Struktur oder Konsistenz zu verlieren. Nur so bleibt das Modell langfristig wartbar und strategisch nutzbar.

Nutzerakzeptanz und Change Management

Nutzerakzeptanz ist entscheidend: Nur wenn Mitarbeitende den konkreten Nutzen und die Grundprinzipien des Datenmodells verstehen, wird das System auch im Alltag effektiv genutzt. Technische Schulungen sollten deshalb gezielt darauf eingehen, wie sich Datenmodelle im Alltag anwenden lassen – zum Beispiel beim korrekten Anlegen neuer Produkte oder der Pflege von Attributen nach vordefinierten Strukturen. Darüber hinaus spielt Kommunikation eine Schlüsselrolle: Der konkrete Mehrwert eines sauberen PIM-Datenmodells muss verständlich vermittelt werden – etwa die Reduktion von Rückfragen durch einheitliche Benennungen oder die schnellere Markteinführung durch konsistente Datenpflege. Frühzeitige Einbindung relevanter Teams, praxisnahe Schulungen und kontinuierliche Betreuung sind essenziell, um interne Vorbehalte abzubauen und das Datenmodell langfristig im Unternehmen zu verankern.

Erste Schritte für Unternehmen

Für Unternehmen, die am Anfang ihrer PIM-Reise stehen – aber aktuell noch keine Ressourcen oder Projekte starten können – empfiehlt es sich, sich dennoch frühzeitig strategisch vorzubereiten. Bereits einfache Maßnahmen helfen, den Einstieg später effizienter und gezielter zu gestalten:

PIM-Bedarf erkennen: Welche Produktdatenquellen gibt es heute? Wer nutzt sie? Welche Herausforderungen treten auf?
Interne Ansprechpartner identifizieren: Wer könnte später fachlich oder organisatorisch Verantwortung übernehmen? Wer kennt die Produkte, Prozesse und Systeme?
Begrifflichkeiten und Strukturen dokumentieren: Welche Begriffe, Kategorien, Attributbezeichnungen werden aktuell verwendet? Auch einfache Listen oder Übersichten helfen später bei der Modellbildung.
Digitalstrategie prüfen: Ist PIM bereits in der Digitalstrategie enthalten oder sollte es gezielt ergänzt werden?

Sobald sich ein konkreter Projektstart abzeichnet, empfiehlt es sich, mit einer klaren Zieldefinition und einer strukturierten Anforderungsanalyse zu beginnen. Welche Kanäle sollen versorgt werden? Welche Datenquellen sind vorhanden? Welche Prozesse sollen künftig automatisiert laufen? Darauf aufbauend sollte schrittweise ein skalierbares PIM-Datenmodell entwickelt werden – mit Fokus auf zentrale Produktattribute, grundlegende Hierarchien und einfache Freigabestrukturen. Frühzeitige Einbindung von Marketing, Produktmanagement und IT ist entscheidend, um das Modell tragfähig aufzubauen. Auch die Prüfung geeigneter Standards wie ECLASS kann sich früh lohnen, um spätere Integrationsaufwände zu reduzieren.

Fazit

Ein durchdachtes PIM-Datenmodell verbessert operativ die Datenqualität, schafft konsistente Informationsflüsse und bildet damit das Fundament für effiziente digitale Prozesse für konsistentes, effizientes und markenorientiertes Produktdatenmanagement. Es verbessert die Datenqualität, reduziert operative Aufwände, ermöglicht eine gezielte und kanalgerechte Kommunikation und schafft die Voraussetzungen für Automatisierung und Skalierung. Unternehmen, die frühzeitig mit der Planung und Strukturierung ihres PIM-Datenmodells beginnen, profitieren langfristig von höherer Markenkonsistenz, schnellerer Markteinführung und besserer Datenverfügbarkeit für interne und externe Prozesse. Wer heute in ein solides, standardbasiertes Datenmodell investiert, legt den Grundstein für zukunftssichere digitale Prozesse – in Marketing, Vertrieb, Einkauf, E-Commerce und darüber hinaus.

Die Herausforderung: Unstrukturierte Asset-Workflows im digitalen Alltag

Die Verwaltung digitaler Inhalte ist heute komplex. Dateien liegen verstreut in unterschiedlichen Tools und Abteilungen. Versionen entstehen parallel, zentrale Freigaben fehlen, und niemand weiß, welche Assets aktuell und freigegeben sind. Das verzögert Prozesse – und skaliert das Problem mit wachsendem Medienbestand.

Zudem erfordern Omnichannel-Szenarien wie Web, Social Media, Mobile, Print oder In-Store spezifische Inhalte. Ohne ein zentrales Asset-Management entstehen Medienchaos, veraltete Ausgaben und verpasste Touchpoints.

NovaDB Update 5.2: Effizientere Veröffentlichung und mehr Gestaltungsspielraum

Neue Funktionen verbessern die Handhabung großer Arbeitspakete und erweitern das visuelle Editieren

Das neue Update NovaDB 5.2 erleichtert Veröffentlichungsprozesse von Arbeitspaketen durch bessere Konflikterkennung, optimiertes Ressourcenmanagement und erweiterte visuelle Bearbeitungsmöglichkeiten. Mit neuen Tabellenfunktionen und ausgebauter API-Unterstützung profitieren Anwender von effizienteren Workflows.

Würzburg, 9. Juli 2025 – Die Noxum GmbH, ein Hersteller von Informationssystemen, veröffentlicht NovaDB 5.2. Das Update bringt spürbare Verbesserungen im Veröffentlichungsprozess und erweitert die Funktionen zur visuellen Bearbeitung von Inhalten.

Verbesserungen im Veröffentlichungsprozess

Die Veröffentlichung von Arbeitspaketen wird mit dem NovaDB Release 5.2 nutzerfreundlicher und übersichtlicher gestaltet. Nutzer können nun leichter Objekte identifizieren, die bei Veröffentlichung zu Konflikten führen. Visuelle Hilfen zeigen eindeutig, welche Version eines Objekts nach der gewählten Konfigurierung veröffentlicht wird und erleichtern den Umgang mit Konflikten erheblich.

Durch Optimierungen im Speicherverbrauch können jetzt auch besonders umfangreiche Arbeitspakete effizient veröffentlicht werden. Selbst bei Tausenden Modifikationen ist eine reibungslose Veröffentlichung gewährleistet. Ein verbessertes Ressourcenmanagement, das unerwünschte Folgeprozesse minimiert, sorgt im Hintergrund für schnellere Verarbeitungszeiten.

Neue Möglichkeiten in der visuellen Bearbeitung

Der Visual Editor wurde in NovaDB 5.2 funktional erweitert: Ab sofort können visuelle Komponenten des Typs „Tabelle“ eingesetzt werden. Bisher wurden Tabellen ausschließlich im Zuliefer-System erzeugt, was den Gestaltungsspielraum einschränkt und Arbeitsschritte in verschiedenen System voraussetzt. Mit Tabellen im visuellen Editor lassen sich strukturierte Inhalte jetzt direkt im Frontend bearbeiten und darstellen. Dies ermöglicht die strukturierte, visuelle Verwaltung komplexer Daten wie technischer Spezifikationen oder Funktionsvergleiche. Um Benutzerfehler zu vermeiden, sind erforderliche Kindkomponenten nun geschützt und erfordern eine spezielle Tastenkombination (STRG+ALT) zur Auswahl, wodurch die Seitenstruktur gesichert wird.

Das Release eröffnet neue Freiräume für Teams, um digitale Inhalte nicht nur effizient zu verwalten, sondern erlebbar und wirkungsvoll zu gestalten.

Weitere Verbesserungen

Im Bereich der automatisierten Prozesse wurde die Funktion zum automatischen Berechnen von Werten erweitert. Mit der Funktion haben Nutzer die Möglichkeit, Daten gezielt anzureichern – sowohl mit Informationen aus NovaDB als auch aus externen Quellen. So können zusätzliche Werte bereits vor der Veröffentlichung berechnet und auch tabellarische Werte können dynamisch ergänzt werden.

Typische Anwendungsbeispiele sind die Berechnung von Produkt-Set-Gewichten oder rabattierten Preisen auf Basis interner Regeln. Ebenso lassen sich externe Daten einbinden, etwa zur automatischen Anpassung von Preisen an das Marktumfeld oder zur wetterabhängigen Ausspielung von Inhalten. Bei den Berechnungen kann auch auf KI-Funktionen zugegriffen werden.

Auch die APIs wurden im Zuge des Updates weiterentwickelt. Damit stellen wir sicher, dass sie kontinuierlich an die Anforderungen der Nutzer angepasst werden – für zuverlässige Leistung, Klarheit und Flexibilität in der Entwicklung.

Jetzt von den Neuerungen profitieren

NovaDB 5.2 ist jetzt verfügbar. Nutzen Sie die neuen Funktionen für eine effizientere Veröffentlichung, erweiterte visuelle Bearbeitung und eine optimierte API-Integration. Unser Team unterstützt Sie gerne dabei, das Update gezielt in Ihre Arbeitsprozesse zu integrieren.

Connected Customer Experience – Vernetzte Kundenerfahrung: Warum sie wichtig sind

Connected Customer Experiences (CX) sind zu einem strategischen Erfolgsfaktor für moderne Marketingverantwortliche geworden. In einer vernetzten Welt erwarten Kundinnen und Kunden konsistente, personalisierte und markenkonforme Interaktionen – kanalübergreifend und in Echtzeit. Dieser Artikel zeigt, wie Unternehmen integrierte Systeme wie CMS, PIM und MAM gezielt einsetzen können, um das Kundenerlebnis strategisch zu verbessern, die Markenwahrnehmung zu stärken, die Time-to-Market zu verkürzen und die Kundenbindung nachhaltig zu vertiefen.

Was ist eine Connected Customer Experience?

Eine Connected Customer Experience verbindet sämtliche Kundeninteraktionen über alle Kanäle hinweg durch die intelligente Verknüpfung von Daten, Technologien und Touchpoints. Sie ermöglicht nahtlose Übergänge zwischen Plattformen wie E-Mail, Chat oder stationärem Handel und erlaubt eine personalisierte Ansprache auf Basis von Echtzeitverhalten und individuellen Präferenzen.

Im Kern geht es darum, eine einheitliche und konsistente Marken- und Serviceerfahrung über alle Berührungspunkte hinweg bereitzustellen. Voraussetzung dafür ist die Integration zentraler Systeme – insbesondere Content Management Systeme (CMS), Product Information Management (PIM) und Media Asset Management (MAM). Sie bilden gemeinsam die Grundlage, um Inhalte, Produktinformationen und digitale Assets zentral zu verwalten und orchestriert auszuspielen.

Ziel ist, jede Botschaft, jedes Angebot und jede Interaktion auf den konkreten Bedarf des Kunden abzustimmen – ohne Brüche im Markenerlebnis.

Oder wie es Volker Römisch, Head of Consultant bei Noxum, treffend formuliert:
\"Eine Connected Customer Experience bedeutet nicht nur, Systeme zu verknüpfen – sondern jede Botschaft, jedes Angebot und jeden Kanal auf den tatsächlichen Bedarf des Kunden auszurichten.\"

Kundenerwartungen im Omnichannel-Zeitalter

Aus Sicht der Kundinnen und Kunden bedeutet Vernetzung: reibungslose Navigation, schneller Zugang zu relevanten Informationen und persönliche Ansprache – unabhängig von Gerät, Ort oder Kanal. Erwartet werden einfache Prozesse, unmittelbare Verfügbarkeit und ein klarer Mehrwert. Technologie soll dabei im Hintergrund bleiben – das Erlebnis selbst muss intuitiv, effizient und empathisch sein. Besonders geschätzt werden Flexibilität, Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit, kanalübergreifende Kommunikation und Inhalte mit persönlicher Relevanz.

Zentrale Bausteine für vernetzte Kundenerlebnisse

Kanalübergreifende Konsistenz durch Omnichannel-Integration

Omnichannel-Integration vereint unterschiedliche Kommunikationskanäle zu einem durchgängigen Erlebnis. Egal ob per E-Mail, Chat, Telefon oder vor Ort – die Interaktion soll konsistent und zusammenhängend bleiben. Das erfordert die Integration von Systemen und Daten über alle Kanäle hinweg, um Kontext und Kontinuität sicherzustellen.

360°-Kundensicht durch konsolidierte Datenbasis

Eine zentrale Zusammenführung von Kundendaten aus verschiedenen Quellen ermöglicht ein umfassendes Kundenbild. Diese einheitliche Datenbasis erlaubt es, Interaktionen zu personalisieren und Entscheidungen fundiert zu treffen. So kann z. B. eine Vertriebsmitarbeiterin im stationären Handel gezielte Empfehlungen geben, basierend auf dem vorherigen Online-Verhalten eines Kunden.

Relevante Erlebnisse durch Echtzeit-Personalisierung

Personalisierung bedeutet weit mehr als eine namentliche Ansprache. Es geht um die Ausspielung passender Inhalte, Angebote und Services – in Echtzeit, abgestimmt auf das individuelle Verhalten und die Präferenzen. Eine vernetzte Datenlandschaft ermöglicht genau das und sorgt für mehr Relevanz, Zufriedenheit und Kundenbindung.

Vorteile einer Connected Customer Experience

Stärkung der Markenidentität durch konsistente Inhalte

Eine konsistente Markenwahrnehmung ist die Basis für Vertrauen und Wiedererkennung. Durch integrierte Systeme wie CMS, PIM und MAM entsteht eine zentrale Plattform, auf der Inhalte, Produktdaten und Medien konsistent gepflegt und ausgespielt werden. Das sorgt für ein einheitliches Markenerlebnis an jedem Touchpoint.

Datenqualität und Aktualität werden verbessert, Inhalte lassen sich in Echtzeit anpassen. Unternehmen gewinnen so die Fähigkeit, personalisierte Botschaften schnell, zielgerichtet und markenkonform zu kommunizieren – kanalübergreifend und konsistent.

Effiziente Kampagnenumsetzung team- und kanalübergreifend

Lösungen wie NovaDB Headless CMS und Headless PIM ermöglichen die flexible Steuerung von Kampagnen über unterschiedliche Zielkanäle hinweg. Die integrierte Prozesslogik reduziert Reibungsverluste und beschleunigt die Umsetzung:

Das CMS organisiert redaktionelle Inhalte
Das PIM sichert die Richtigkeit und Vollständigkeit der Produktdaten
Das MAM stellt die passenden Medien in der richtigen Version bereit

Zentrale Workflows, klare Rollenverteilungen und automatisierte Freigaben sorgen für reibungslose Zusammenarbeit – ein entscheidender Vorteil in dynamischen Märkten.

Reduzierte Time-to-Campaign durch automatisierte Abläufe

Automatisierte Informationsflüsse zwischen Systemen eliminieren manuelle Übergaben und vermeiden Engpässe. Marketing-Teams erhalten in Echtzeit Zugriff auf relevante Daten und können schnell auf veränderte Anforderungen reagieren. Standardaufgaben werden automatisiert, wodurch Zeit und Ressourcen frei werden – für Strategie, Kreativität und Innovation.

Schnelle Umsetzung durch Echtzeitdaten und KI-Unterstützung

Die kontinuierliche Datenerhebung und Analyse schafft die Grundlage für präzises Targeting und schnelle Reaktionsfähigkeit. Moderne Systeme ermöglichen es, Kundenverhalten zeitnah zu erkennen, Muster zu analysieren und Empfehlungen automatisiert auszuspielen – unterstützt durch KI, etwa mit prädiktiven Analysen oder automatisierten Vorschlägen.

Transparente Abstimmung und schnelle Freigabeprozesse

Integrierte Plattformen erleichtern die Koordination und Freigabe von Inhalten. Stakeholder können zentral Feedback geben und Freigaben erteilen – ohne Medienbrüche oder Verzögerungen. Gleichzeitig erhöhen standardisierte Prozesse die Skalierbarkeit und vereinfachen die Einhaltung regulatorischer Vorgaben – besonders relevant für Compliance und Markenschutz.

Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze

Systembrüche und Datensilos überwinden

Die größte Hürde ist oft die Zusammenführung fragmentierter Systeme und Datenquellen. Eine konsistente CX erfordert leistungsfähiges Datenmanagement, hohe Datenqualität und eine übergreifende Orchestrierung aller Kanäle und Touchpoints.

Personalisierung skalierbar umsetzen

Skalierbare Personalisierung gelingt durch KI-gestützte Segmentierung, automatisierte Inhalte und kontextbezogene Angebote – insbesondere in Kombination mit CRM- und CDP-Systemen. Alternativ lassen sich auch regelbasierte Ansätze nutzen, die jedoch weniger flexibel und ressourcenintensiver sind.

Verantwortungsvoller Umgang mit Kundendaten

Transparenz, Datenschutz und der bewusste Umgang mit persönlichen Informationen sind Grundvoraussetzung. Kunden erwarten – zu Recht – klare Mehrwerte für ihre Datenfreigabe: personalisierte Inhalte, schneller Service oder exklusive Angebote. Vertrauensbildung erfolgt über nachvollziehbare Prozesse, Datenschutzkonformität (z. B. DSGVO) und eine offene Kommunikation.

Altsysteme und technologische Altlasten integrieren

Viele Unternehmen arbeiten mit historisch gewachsenen Systemlandschaften. Die Anbindung veralteter Lösungen an moderne Architekturen erfordert sorgfältige Planung, gezielte Investitionen und technisches Fingerspitzengefühl.

Abteilungsübergreifende Zusammenarbeit ermöglichen

Eine ganzheitliche CX erfordert die enge Abstimmung zwischen Marketing, Vertrieb, Kundenservice, IT und Produktmanagement. Silodenken muss überwunden werden – durch klare Ziele, geteilte Verantwortlichkeiten und unterstützende Plattformen.

Strategien zur erfolgreichen Umsetzung

Customer Journeys analysieren: Touchpoints und Friktionen identifizieren und gezielt verbessern
Technologische Infrastruktur ausbauen: CRM, Analytics, CDPs und Automatisierungstools gezielt einsetzen
Mitarbeiter befähigen: Schulungen, Rollenklärung und Ressourcen für nachhaltige CX-Verantwortung
Feedbacksysteme etablieren: Kontinuierliche Optimierung auf Basis echter Kundenerfahrungen

Zentrale Anforderungen an CMS, PIM und MAM für skalierbare CX

Headless-Systeme wie NovaDB Headless CMS und PIM bieten maximale Flexibilität bei der Ausspielung – unabhängig von Kanal oder Frontend. In komplexen Omnichannel-Szenarien sind folgende Funktionen entscheidend:

CMS: Flexible Inhaltsmodelle, Multilingualität, kanalübergreifende Publikation, intuitive Redaktionsprozesse
PIM: Zentrale Produktdatenhaltung, Datenanreicherung, automatische Ausleitung in alle Kanäle
MAM: Medienverwaltung, Versionierung, Rechte- und Lizenzmanagement, Integration kreativer Tools

Übergreifend gilt: Offenheit (APIs), Skalierbarkeit, gute Usability und nahtlose Integration in bestehende Systemlandschaften sind Pflicht. Headless-Architekturen trennen Inhalt von Ausgabekanal – und ermöglichen so die flexible Wiederverwendung über Web, App, Print oder IoT.

Fazit

Headless-Architekturen wie NovaDB bieten nicht nur technologische Flexibilität – sie ermöglichen deutlich kürzere Time-to-Market-Zeiten, konsistente Markenführung und hochgradige Personalisierung.

Connected Customer Experience ist mehr als Systemintegration – sie ist ein strategisches Gesamtkonzept. Unternehmen, die CX ganzheitlich denken – mit Kundenfokus, technologischer Agilität, datenbasierter Intelligenz und menschlicher Empathie – schaffen Differenzierung, Vertrauen und Loyalität.

Der Schlüssel liegt in der intelligenten Verbindung von Architektur, Content-Governance und Kundenverständnis. Wer diese Elemente vereint, legt die Grundlage für langfristigen Markenerfolg und nachhaltige Kundenerlebnisse.

LMS vs. CMS: Wie sie zusammenarbeiten

Der Hauptunterschied zwischen LMS und CMS liegt in ihrem Zweck. Ein LMS (Learning Management System) liefert, verfolgt und verwaltet Schulungen oder Weiterbildungen, während ein CMS (Content Management System) digitale Inhalte erstellt, bearbeitet und veröffentlicht. LMS-Plattformen konzentrieren sich auf Lernergebnisse, CMS-Plattformen auf die Bereitstellung von Inhalten.

Beide Systeme befassen sich zwar mit Inhalten, dienen jedoch grundlegend unterschiedlichen Zwecken: LMS-Plattformen verwalten strukturierte Lernerfahrungen, während CMS-Plattformen sich auf die Veröffentlichung digitaler Inhalte für Kommunikations- oder Marketingzwecke konzentrieren. Mit der Weiterentwicklung von Unternehmen arbeiten diese Systeme jedoch zunehmend zusammen, um nahtlose, ansprechende und datengesteuerte Erfahrungen zu bieten.

Lassen Sie uns die wichtigsten Unterschiede zwischen LMS und CMS, ihre Kernfunktionen und ihre gegenseitige Ergänzung in der Praxis untersuchen.

Definition von LMS und CMS

Was ist ein LMS?

Ein Learning Management System (LMS) ist eine Software zur Organisation und Verwaltung von Lernaktivitäten. Im Kern dient es dazu, Bildungsinhalte zu erstellen, an Benutzer zu liefern, deren Fortschritte zu überwachen und ihre Leistungen zu bewerten – alles an einem Ort. Ursprünglich für den Bildungssektor entwickelt, sind LMS heute auch in Unternehmen für Mitarbeiterschulungen, Compliance-Management und Kompetenzentwicklung unverzichtbar.

Was ist ein CMS?

Ein Content-Management-System (CMS) ist eine Plattform, die die Erstellung, Verwaltung, Übersetzung und Veröffentlichung digitaler Inhalte – insbesondere für Websites – vereinfacht, ohne dass dafür umfangreiche technische Kenntnisse erforderlich sind. Benutzer können Texte, Bilder und Videos ganz einfach erstellen, verwalten und veröffentlichen, ohne dass Programmierkenntnisse erforderlich sind.

Vorteile der einzelnen Systeme

Vorteile der Implementierung eines LMS

Ein LMS ist eine leistungsstarke Lösung für Unternehmen, die strukturiertes Lernen und messbare Ergebnisse benötigen. Zu den Vorteilen gehören:

Zentralisierte Lernverwaltung: Unternehmen können alle Schulungsmaterialien, Module und Lernenden-Daten auf einer Plattform verwalten.
Verfolgung des Lernfortschritts: Die Echtzeit-Verfolgung der Leistungen der Lernenden hilft dabei, Wissenslücken zu identifizieren und Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten zu erkennen.
Skalierbare Schulungsprogramme: Unabhängig davon, wie viele Benutzer Sie schulen, lässt sich ein LMS ohne Qualitätseinbußen skalieren.
Einhaltung gesetzlicher Vorschriften: In stark regulierten Branchen wie dem Gesundheitswesen, dem Finanzwesen oder der Luftfahrt. Ein LMS hilft Ihnen, Schulungen zu standardisieren und aktuelle Aufzeichnungen in Ihrem gesamten Unternehmen zu führen, sodass Sie die Compliance-Anforderungen ohne den üblichen Aufwand erfüllen können.
Automatisierte Zertifizierung: Stellen Sie nach Abschluss des Kurses Zertifikate und Badges aus, die sowohl für Arbeitgeber als auch für Lernende einen Mehrwert bieten.
Kosteneinsparungen in großem Umfang: Durch die Verlagerung der Schulungen ins Internet können Unternehmen die Kosten für Reisen, Veranstaltungsorte, Dozenten und gedruckte Materialien erheblich senken. Sobald die Inhalte erstellt sind, können sie bei Bedarf wiederverwendet und aktualisiert werden, was das LMS langfristig zu einer skalierbaren und budgetfreundlichen Lösung macht.

Vorteile der Implementierung eines CMS

Ein Headless CMS wie NovaDB hingegen bietet Flexibilität bei der Verwaltung und Verteilung verschiedener Inhaltsformate im Internet. Zu den wichtigsten Vorteilen gehören:

Benutzerfreundlichkeit: Nicht-technische Benutzer können Inhalte über intuitive Benutzeroberflächen erstellen und aktualisieren.
Verwaltung des Inhalts-Workflows: Optimierte redaktionelle Workflows, einschließlich Entwurf, Bearbeitung und Veröffentlichung.
Medien- und Asset-Kontrolle: Einfache Speicherung und Verwaltung von Bildern, Dokumenten und Videos in einer zentralen Bibliothek.
SEO-Optimierung: Integrierte Tools und Plugins helfen, die Sichtbarkeit in Suchmaschinen und die Leistung der Website zu verbessern.
Interaktion mit der Zielgruppe: Die Integration von sozialen Medien, Formularen und Kommentaren trägt zur Schaffung interaktiver Erlebnisse bei.
Schnelle Bereitstellung: Neue Inhalte oder Landingpages können schnell veröffentlicht werden, um Kampagnen oder Veranstaltungen zu unterstützen.

Warum ein LMS ein CMS-Frontend benötigt

Viele Learning Management Systeme sind strukturell stark, aber in ihrer Präsentation begrenzt. Sie verwalten Kurse, verfolgen den Lernfortschritt und stellen Zertifikate effizient aus, aber oft mangelt es ihnen an Flexibilität, wenn es um Benutzererfahrung, visuelles Design und Content-Engagement geht.

Insbesondere in externen Szenarien – wie Kunden-Onboarding, Produktschulungen oder Partner-Enablement – ist eine nahtlose, markengerechte und benutzerfreundliche Oberfläche unerlässlich. Hier kommt das CMS ins Spiel: Es fungiert als Frontend-Schicht des LMS und liefert visuell ansprechende

Landingpages, kontextbezogenen Kurszugriff und ergänzende Ressourcen wie Artikel, Videos oder FAQs.

Kurz gesagt: Das LMS strukturiert das Lernen. Das CMS macht es auffindbar, zugänglich und nutzerzentriert.

Diese Kombination ist kein Luxus, sondern eine praktische und strategische Notwendigkeit in modernen Lernökosystemen.

Aus technischer Sicht: Warum LMS ein Headless CMS benötigt

Herkömmliche LMS-Plattformen sind für die Verwaltung strukturierter Lerninhalte konzipiert – ihre Architektur ist jedoch oft starr und geschlossen. Frontend und Backend sind eng miteinander verbunden, und die API-Funktionen beschränken sich in der Regel auf grundlegende SCORM/xAPI-Endpunkte oder Benutzerverwaltungsfunktionen. Dies schränkt die Integration in umfassendere digitale Infrastrukturen ein.

Im Gegensatz dazu trennt ein Headless CMS Inhalte von der Darstellung und macht sie über robuste APIs verfügbar. In Kombination mit einem LMS ermöglicht dies:

Einbettung von Lerninhalten in Websites, Portale und Apps mithilfe moderner Frontend-Frameworks (z. B. React, Next.js)
Anbindung externer Systeme wie CRMs, Analyseplattformen oder Identitätsanbieter über API
Bereitstellung dynamischer Inhalte basierend auf den Rollen, dem Verhalten oder externen Daten der Lernenden
Verwaltung ergänzender Inhalte (z. B. Blogbeiträge, Hilfeartikel, Produktaktualisierungen) an einem Ort – relevant für Lernen und Marketing

Diese Architektur verwandelt das LMS von einem isolierten Schulungstool in eine flexible Komponente innerhalb eines modularen, API-basierten Lernökosystems, das sich an die Anforderungen des Unternehmens anpassen lässt.

So arbeiten LMS und CMS zusammen

Bei richtiger Integration bieten LMS- und CMS-Plattformen gemeinsam eine Erfahrung, die das Lernen, das Engagement und die betriebliche Effizienz verbessert. So ergänzen sie sich gegenseitig:

Ganzheitliche Benutzererfahrung

Durch die Kombination des strukturierten Lernens eines LMS mit der dynamischen Bereitstellung von Inhalten durch ein CMS können Unternehmen ihre Benutzer durch den gesamten Lernzyklus begleiten – von der Entdeckung und Einbindung bis hin zur Anmeldung und Zertifizierung.

Einheitliches Content-Repository

Während ein LMS formale Lernmodule enthalten kann, kann ein CMS unterstützende Materialien bereitstellen, wie z. B.:

Blog-Artikel
Fallstudien
FAQs
Erklärvideos

Skalierbarkeit und Zukunftssicherheit

Eine kombinierte LMS-CMS-Lösung stellt sicher, dass Ihre Plattform mit Ihrer Zielgruppe mitwachsen kann. Wenn Unternehmen expandieren, benötigen sie möglicherweise:

Neue Schulungsbereiche
Zusätzliche Inhaltsformate
Unterstützung für regionale Sprachen
Integrationen von Drittanbietern

Einheitliches Branding und einheitliche Erfahrung

LMS-Plattformen legen oft mehr Wert auf Funktionalität als auf visuelles Branding, während CMS-Plattformen eine größere Kontrolle über das Design und die Benutzererfahrung bieten. Durch die Integration können Unternehmen einheitliche, markengerechte Lernumgebungen bereitstellen.

Diese Integration gewährleistet:

Websites, Dashboards und Lernportale verfügen über eine einheitliche Benutzeroberfläche und Benutzererfahrung
Lernende erhalten E-Mail-Benachrichtigungen und Zertifizierungsvorlagen im Markenauftritt
Unternehmen behalten eine einheitliche und kontinuierliche visuelle Identität über alle digitalen Kontaktpunkte hinweg.

Wichtige Vorteile der Integration von LMS- und CMS-Plattformen

Erweiterte Erstellung und Veröffentlichung von Inhalten

Während LMS-Tools sich auf die Erstellung von SCORM/xAPI-konformen Kursen konzentrieren, bieten CMS-Plattformen leistungsstarke Tools für die Formatierung von Inhalten und das Seitendesign. Bei gemeinsamer Nutzung:

Ausbilder können immersive Lernpfade erstellen
Marketer können Landing Pages für bestimmte Module gestalten
Content-Ersteller können Videos, Formulare und interaktive Tools in Lektionen einbetten

Bereitstellung von Inhalten in verschiedenen Formaten

Um unterschiedliche Lernpräferenzen zu unterstützen, ermöglicht ein integrierter LMS-CMS-Ansatz Folgendes:

LMS-gehostete Videovorträge, ergänzt durch CMS-verwaltete Transkripte und Blog-Zusammenfassungen
Herunterladbare PDFs oder Präsentationen (LMS), die mit Ressourcen-Hubs (CMS) verknüpft sind
Quizfragen und Bewertungen (LMS), eingebettet in interaktive Webartikel (CMS)

Nachverfolgung und Analyse von Lernenden

Durch die Kombination von Daten aus LMS- und CMS-Plattformen erhalten Unternehmen einen 360-Grad-Überblick über das Nutzerverhalten.

Beispiel

CMS-Metriken verfolgen, wie Nutzer mit Werbeinhalten oder Kursbeschreibungen interagieren.
LMS-Metriken zeigen, wie diese Benutzer nach der Anmeldung zu einem Kurs abschneiden.

Benutzerprofile und Rollen

Eine einheitliche LMS-CMS-Plattform ermöglicht nahtlose Rollenübergänge:

Besucher beginnen mit dem anonymen Durchsuchen allgemeiner Inhalte über das CMS
Durch die Registrierung werden LMS-Funktionen für strukturiertes Lernen aktiviert
Im Laufe der Zeit können Benutzer zu Mitwirkenden, Dozenten oder Administratoren werden

Vorteile eines einheitlichen LMS-CMS-Ökosystems

Die Zusammenführung dieser beiden Systeme ist nicht nur praktisch, sondern schafft auch ein umfassendes digitales Ökosystem, das Lernen, Inhalte und Interaktion als einheitliches Erlebnis bietet.

Zu den wichtigsten Vorteilen gehören

Verbesserte Interaktion: Lernende sind aktiver, wenn Inhalte visuell ansprechend, leicht zu navigieren und auf ihre Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten sind.
Höherer ROI: Investitionen in Marketing und Schulungen zahlen sich schneller aus, wenn die Lernprozesse nahtlos und gut nachverfolgbar sind.
Größere Agilität: Teams können dank der Flexibilität des CMS und der Struktur des LMS schnell auf Trends oder geschäftliche Anforderungen reagieren.
Vereinfachte Wartung: Eine zentralisierte Plattform reduziert Redundanzen, senkt den technischen Aufwand und verbessert die Datenverwaltung.
Wettbewerbsvorteil: Unternehmen, die markenspezifische, ansprechende und gut strukturierte Lernerfahrungen bieten, heben sich in umkämpften Märkten von der Konkurrenz ab.

Fazit

Wie ein Headless CMS die Personalisierung verbessert

Personalisierungsfunktionen in einem Headless CMS ermöglichen die Bereitstellung maßgeschneiderter Inhalte für Benutzer, indem Inhalte dynamisch anhand von Nutzerdaten, Verhalten, Standort oder Vorlieben angepasst werden. Diese Funktionen integrieren sich mit APIs und externen Diensten, um kanalübergreifend individuelle Erlebnisse zu schaffen – bei gleichzeitig flexibler Inhaltsverwaltung und -auslieferung.

Personalisierung ist zu einem Grundpfeiler digitaler Erlebnisse geworden. Benutzer erwarten Inhalte, Empfehlungen und Dienste, die auf ihre Präferenzen, Verhaltensweisen und Standorte abgestimmt sind. Ob ein E-Commerce-Shop relevante Produktempfehlungen anzeigt oder eine Medienplattform Inhalte basierend auf Benutzerinteressen kuratiert – Personalisierung steigert die Interaktion und Conversion-Raten erheblich.

Traditionelle Content-Management-Systeme (CMS) waren lange die bevorzugte Lösung zur Verwaltung digitaler Inhalte, haben jedoch oft Schwierigkeiten mit skalierbarer Personalisierung. Hier kommt das Headless CMS ins Spiel: Es bietet einen flexiblen, API-gesteuerten Ansatz, mit dem Unternehmen dynamische, personalisierte und regionsspezifische Inhalte effizient bereitstellen können.

Dieser Artikel untersucht, wie Headless-CMS-Plattformen fortschrittliche Personalisierung ermöglichen, welche Vorteile diese Funktionen bieten und welche technischen Elemente dies unterstützen.

Personalisierung im Kontext von CMS verstehen

Was ist Personalisierung und warum ist sie für digitale Erlebnisse wichtig?

Personalisierung bezeichnet die Anpassung von Inhalten, Empfehlungen und Benutzererfahrungen auf der Grundlage individueller Präferenzen, Verhaltensweisen und demografischer Daten. Sie hilft Unternehmen dabei, ansprechende und relevante Erlebnisse zu schaffen, was zu höherer Kundenzufriedenheit, Markentreue und verbesserten Conversion-Raten führt.

Beispielsweise könnte ein Online-Bekleidungsgeschäft einem wiederkehrenden Kunden andere Produktempfehlungen anzeigen – basierend auf früheren Käufen, dem Browserverlauf oder dem Standort. Ebenso kann eine Nachrichtenwebsite Artikel priorisieren, die zu den Lesegewohnheiten des Nutzers passen.

Einschränkungen traditioneller CMS bei der Personalisierung

Traditionelle CMS-Plattformen basieren auf einer monolithischen Architektur, bei der Inhaltsverwaltung, Präsentation und Auslieferung eng miteinander verbunden sind. Diese Struktur bringt wesentliche Einschränkungen für die Personalisierung mit sich, etwa:

Statische Inhaltsauslieferung: Traditionelle CMS liefern typischerweise denselben Inhalt an alle Nutzer, was die Flexibilität für dynamische Personalisierung einschränkt.
Begrenzte Integrationsmöglichkeiten: Personalisierung erfordert Echtzeitdaten aus verschiedenen Quellen (CRM, Analyse, Nutzerpräferenzen), doch traditionelle CMS tun sich schwer mit nahtlosen Integrationen.
Skalierungsprobleme: Die Umsetzung großflächiger Personalisierung erfordert eine robuste Infrastruktur, die traditionellen CMS oft fehlt.

Wie Headless CMS diese Herausforderungen löst

Ein Headless CMS entkoppelt Inhalte von ihrer Darstellung und ermöglicht deren Auslieferung über APIs an verschiedene Frontends (Web, Mobile, IoT usw.). Diese Flexibilität erlaubt es Unternehmen:

Echtzeit-Nutzerdaten abzurufen und Inhalte dynamisch anzupassen

Jenseits von Excel: Intelligentere Methoden zur Verwaltung Ihrer Produktdaten

Seit Jahrzehnten ist Excel das Werkzeug der Wahl für die Verwaltung von Produktdaten. Es ist flexibel, weit verbreitet und erfordert nur eine Tabellenkalkulation und einige grundlegende Kenntnisse, um loszulegen.

Von kleinen Produktkatalogen über saisonale Preislisten bis hin zur Konsolidierung von Lieferanten – Excel hilft Unternehmen seit langem dabei, Daten schnell und einfach zu verwalten. Aber Produktdaten sind nicht mehr das, was sie einmal waren. In der heutigen Omnichannel-Welt, in der Informationen genau, konsistent und sofort auf mehreren Plattformen verfügbar sein müssen, kann es zu einer Herausforderung werden, alles allein in Tabellenkalkulationen zu verwalten.

Die Frage ist nicht mehr, ob Excel funktioniert, sondern ob es mit den heutigen Anforderungen Schritt halten kann.

Die Stärken von Excel für Produktdaten: Warum funktioniert es immer noch?

Auch mit dem Aufkommen spezialisierter Tools für die Produktdatenverwaltung ist Excel nach wie vor ein bewährtes Arbeitstier. Es ist nicht nur ein Überbleibsel aus der Zeit vor der Cloud. Es bleibt ein zuverlässiges Tool für flexible, ad hoc anfallende Produktdatenaufgaben.

Geringe Kosten und sofortige Verfügbarkeit

Die meisten Unternehmen verfügen bereits über Microsoft Office oder Zugriff auf Google Sheets, sodass keine zusätzliche Software gekauft oder integriert werden muss. Dies macht Tabellenkalkulationssoftware zu einem attraktiven, kostengünstigen Tool für kleine Unternehmen, die einen Produktkatalog organisieren oder schnelle Datenbearbeitungen durchführen müssen.

Für Teams allgemein bekannt

Fast jeder in einem Unternehmensumfeld kann Excel zumindest auf einem grundlegenden Niveau verwenden.

Es erfordert weder große Einstiegshürden noch umfangreiche Schulungen.

Hohe Flexibilität für Ad-hoc-Anforderungen

Die leere Tabellenstruktur von Excel lässt sich nahezu beliebig anpassen – sei es als einfache flache Tabelle mit Artikelnummern (SKUs, unternehmensinterne Produktkennungen) oder als komplexere Arbeitsmappe mit mehreren Tabellenblättern.

Ideal für kleine Kataloge und statische Daten

Wenn Sie nur mit einer kleinen Anzahl von Produkten zu tun haben und Änderungen nur gelegentlich vorkommen, ist Excel möglicherweise alles, was Sie brauchen.

Geeignet für einmalige Projekte oder als temporärer Datenspeicher

Manchmal ist die Produktdatenverwaltung nur für einen kurzen Zeitraum erforderlich, beispielsweise während einer Katalogmigration oder bei der Konsolidierung von Lieferantenlisten.

Starke Offline-Fähigkeiten

Im Gegensatz zu reinen Cloud-Tools funktioniert Excel auch offline einwandfrei. Dies ist besonders für Außendienstteams oder Remote-Betriebe von Vorteil, wo der Internetzugang möglicherweise unzuverlässig ist.

Wo Excel in der modernen Produktdatenverwaltung an seine Grenzen stößt

Excel ist zweifellos leistungsstark, aber es wurde nie dafür entwickelt, die Größenordnungen, Compliance-Anforderungen und dynamischen Workflows der heutigen Produktdaten zu verwalten. Da Unternehmen mit immer größeren Katalogen, umfangreicheren Produktattributen und mehreren Vertriebskanälen zu tun haben, stoßen Tabellenkalkulationen an ihre Grenzen.

Das Problem ist nicht, dass Excel „schlecht” ist, sondern dass es für eine andere Art von Arbeit entwickelt wurde.

Die Skalierung von Produktlinien wird riskant

Was für 50 Artiken perfekt funktioniert, kann bei 5.000 Artikeln unüberschaubar werden. Mit der Anzahl der Zeilen steigen auch das Risiko von Duplikaten, fehlenden Feldern und menschlichen Fehlern.

Ein versehentliches Einfügen kann Hunderte von Produktbeschreibungen ohne Warnung überschreiben, und der Fehler wird möglicherweise erst Tage später entdeckt.

Probleme mit mehreren Datenquellen

Die Nachverfolgung und Verwaltung von Produktinformationen ist heutzutage selten so einfach wie das Abrufen aus einem einzigen Bestand oder einer einzigen Lieferantendatenquelle. Stattdessen haben Sie es mit einer Mischung aus Lieferantendatenfeeds, ERP-Systemexporten, Bildbibliotheken und marktspezifischen Anforderungen zu tun. All diese Quellen – ERP-Exporte, Bildbibliotheken, Bestandsdatenbanken – müssen zentralisiert und validiert werden, bevor sie verwendet werden können.

In Excel bedeutet das in der Regel viel manuelle Arbeit. Sie importieren Dateien einzeln, kopieren Werte und fügen sie ein und formatieren Spalten neu, damit sie übereinstimmen. Das ist mühsam, repetitiv und fehleranfällig.

Die Schwierigkeiten der Zusammenarbeit in Excel

Excel eignet sich gut für viele Aufgaben, aber die Koordination von Aktualisierungen zwischen mehreren Personen kann zusätzliche Sorgfalt erfordern. Cloud-basierte Versionen ermöglichen zwar den gemeinsamen Zugriff, aber Teams benötigen dennoch klare Prozesse, um Änderungen zu organisieren und Duplikate zu vermeiden. Wenn beispielsweise zwei Teammitglieder verschiedene Teile einer Produktliste aktualisieren, wobei sich einer auf Elektronik und der andere auf Haushaltswaren konzentriert, und beide mit separaten Kopien arbeiten, besteht die Gefahr, dass Änderungen beim Zusammenführen der Dateien verloren gehen oder überschrieben werden.

Eingeschränkte Datenverwaltung und Compliance-Kontrollen

In regulierten Branchen wie der Lebensmittel-, Kosmetik- oder Elektronikindustrie ist die Genauigkeit und Rückverfolgbarkeit von Produktinformationen keine Option, sondern eine Compliance-Anforderung. Vorschriften ändern sich, Aufzeichnungen müssen aufbewahrt werden und jede einzelne Datenangabe muss überprüfbar sein.

Excel bietet jedoch keine der integrierten Sicherheitsfunktionen, die Sie für diese Art von Arbeit erwarten würden. Es gibt keine nativen Validierungsregeln, um sicherzustellen, dass die Daten den gesetzlichen Standards entsprechen, keine Genehmigungsworkflows, um Änderungen vor ihrer Veröffentlichung zu bestätigen, und keine automatisierten Prüfungen, um veraltete oder falsche Einträge zu kennzeichnen.

Omnichannel-Publishing ist manuell und zeitaufwändig

Moderne Produkte sind nicht nur an einem Ort zu finden. Sie müssen konsistent auf Websites, in mobilen Apps, auf Online-Marktplätzen, Social-Commerce-Plattformen, in gedruckten Katalogen und vielem mehr erscheinen. Jeder Kanal hat seine eigenen Anforderungen an Formatierung, Bildmaterial und Datenfelder.

Wenn Sie in Excel arbeiten, ist die Aufbereitung der Produktdaten für jeden dieser Kanäle fast immer eine separate Aufgabe. Am Ende erstellen Sie einzelne Tabellen, formatieren Spalten neu und exportieren die Dateien einzeln. Das ist ein langsamer und fehleranfälliger Prozess.

Mangelnde Automatisierung für sich wiederholende Prozesse

Excel ist hervorragend geeignet, um Zahlen zu verarbeiten, aber wenn es um die Integration mit anderen Systemen oder die Automatisierung sich wiederholender Aufgaben geht, stößt es an seine Grenzen. Es kann ohne umfangreiche manuelle Eingriffe keine Produktaktualisierungen auslösen, Genehmigungsworkflows ausführen oder Änderungen an Veröffentlichungsplattformen weiterleiten.

Das bedeutet, dass selbst einfache, vorhersehbare Änderungen wie die Synchronisierung von Produktaktualisierungen zu zeitaufwändigen Aufgaben werden können.

Einschränkungen bei der Verarbeitung von Rich Media und digitalen Assets

Produktinformationen gehen heute weit über Text und Zahlen hinaus. Bilder, Videos, 3D-Renderings und andere digitale Assets erfordern eine strukturierte Organisation und intelligente Datenverwaltung. Excel wurde jedoch nie für die Verwaltung dieser Dateitypen entwickelt. Es kann bestenfalls einen Dateipfad oder einen Hyperlink speichern. Es kann die Assets selbst nicht in der Vorschau anzeigen, organisieren oder validieren.

Das bedeutet, dass Sie häufig externe Ordner pflegen, strenge Namenskonventionen einhalten und darauf hoffen müssen, dass alle diese Konventionen konsequent befolgen.

PIM-System: Erweiterung von Excel, kein Ersatz

Die Einführung eines Produktinformationsmanagementsystems (PIM) bedeutet nicht, dass Sie sich von Excel verabschieden müssen. Für viele Unternehmen geht es darum, auf dem aufzubauen, was Excel bereits gut kann.

Excel glänzt, wenn Sie schnelle Datenbearbeitung, schnelle Berechnungen oder einmalige Analysen benötigen. Es ist ideal für kleinere, in sich geschlossene Projekte, bei denen Flexibilität wichtiger ist als Prozesskontrolle. Wenn Ihre Produktdaten jedoch wachsen und über mehrere Teams, Kanäle und Systeme hinweg fließen müssen, verlangsamen die manuellen Arbeitsabläufe in Excel den Prozess.

Hier kommt ein PIM ins Spiel. Stellen Sie sich PIM als das zentrale Nervensystem Ihrer Produktinformationen vor. Es sorgt für Struktur, Konsistenz und Integration mit anderen Plattformen und automatisiert routinemäßige Aktualisierungen, während Ihre Daten stets korrekt und für die Omnichannel-Veröffentlichung bereit sind.

Wie sich PIM von Excel unterscheidet

Während Excel eine universelle Tabellenkalkulation ist, wurde PIM speziell für die Produktdatenverwaltung und Omnichannel-Veröffentlichung entwickelt.

Die wichtigsten Unterschiede sind:

Zentralisierte, einheitliche Datenquelle

Excel: Oft existieren mehrere Kopien in verschiedenen E-Mail-Threads oder Ordnern, was zu Verwirrung hinsichtlich der Versionen führt.
PIM: Eine zentrale Datenbank, auf die alle zugreifen, wodurch die Datenkonsistenz über Teams und Kanäle hinweg gewährleistet ist.

Strukturierte Daten und Validierungsregeln

Excel: Grundlegende Datenvalidierung ist möglich, aber die Regeln sind manuell und leicht zu umgehen.
PIM: Erzwingt Pflichtfelder, Attributformate und Taxonomien und reduziert so das Risiko unvollständiger oder falscher Produktdaten.

Zusammenarbeit mit rollenbasiertem Zugriff

Excel: Alles-oder-nichts-Zugriff; Zusammenarbeit kann zu Überschreibungen und Konflikten führen.
PIM: Unterschiedliche Berechtigungen für Produktmanager, Marketer, Übersetzer und Lieferanten, die alle parallel arbeiten, ohne sich gegenseitig zu überschreiben.

Automatisierte Integration mit anderen Systemen

Excel: Erfordert manuelle Exporte/Importe oder benutzerdefinierte Skripte.
PIM: Verbindet sich über APIs mit ERP, CMS, Marktplätzen, Drucksystemen und mehr und überträgt Aktualisierungen automatisch.

Multi-Channel-Publishing

Excel: Separate Exporte für jeden Kanal, manuell formatiert.
PIM: Kanalspezifische Vorlagen und Regeln stellen sicher, dass jeder Marktplatz, jeder Webshop und jeder Printkatalog sofort die richtigen Daten im richtigen Format erhält.

Rich-Media-Management

Excel: Kann Dateilinks speichern, aber keine Medien verwalten, in der Vorschau anzeigen oder verteilen.
PIM: Integriert häufig DAM-Funktionen (Digital Asset Management) und verknüpft jede SKU mit genehmigten Bildern, Videos und Dokumenten.

Wann ist PIM sinnvoll?

Ein PIM wird dann wertvoll, wenn die Komplexität der Produktdaten den Rahmen dessen sprengt, was Excel komfortabel bewältigen kann. Dazu gehören folgende Szenarien:

Schnell wachsende Produktpalette

Hinzufügen von Hunderten oder Tausenden von SKUs mit jeweils mehreren Attributen und Varianten.

Mehrere Datenquellen und Stakeholder

Lieferanten-Feeds, interne Teams und externe Agenturen tragen alle zu den Produktinformationen bei.

Omnichannel-Vertriebsstrategie

Verkauf auf mehreren Plattformen (eigener Webshop, Amazon, Großhandel, Printkataloge) und Notwendigkeit einer einheitlichen Darstellung auf allen Plattformen.

Globale Märkte und mehrsprachige Anforderungen

Verwaltung von Übersetzungen, lokalen Compliance-Anforderungen und regionsspezifischen Produktdetails.

Häufige Aktualisierungen oder saisonale Änderungen

Regelmäßige Aktualisierung von Preisen, Beschreibungen, Bildern oder technischen Spezifikationen, ohne dass veraltete Informationen im Umlauf bleiben.

Anforderungen an Compliance und Qualitätskontrolle

Branchen mit strengen Vorschriften (Lebensmittel, Medizin, Sicherheit), die aktuelle und verifizierte Produktdaten erfordern.

NovaDB PIM: Hand in Hand mit Excel

Excel-freundlicher Workflow

Das NovaDB Excel-Add-in ermöglicht es Teams, Inhalte und Produktdaten direkt in Microsoft Excel zu bearbeiten – in der vertrauten Oberfläche, ohne sich in das PIM-System einloggen zu müssen. Ein praktisches Beispiel: Lieferanten schicken ihre Produktlisten oft als Excel-Dateien. Diese können von den Teams direkt geöffnet, ergänzt oder korrigiert werden, bevor sie über das Excel Add-in wieder nach NovaDB zurückfließen. Nach der Änderung werden die Daten über regelbasierte Validierung und Importflüsse eingespielt. Das Add-in unterstützt nicht nur den reibungslosen Datenaustausch, sondern auch die Zusammenarbeit: Mehrere Teammitglieder können parallel an Produktdaten arbeiten, Verantwortlichkeiten sind klar abgrenzbar, und externe Lieferanten lassen sich unkompliziert einbinden. Dadurch werden Prozesse transparenter, Abstimmungen schneller und Fehlerquellen reduziert.

Mapping und Massendatenbearbeitung

Ein weiterer Vorteil: Mit dem Add-in lassen sich große Mengen an Produktdaten gleichzeitig anpassen und mappen. Oft stimmen die Bezeichnungen oder Klassifizierungen der Lieferanten nicht mit den eigenen Namenskonventionen überein. Mapping bedeutet daher die eindeutige Zuordnung dieser Spalten oder Attribute zu den passenden Feldern in NovaDB – zum Beispiel, wenn die Lieferantenspalte \"Artikel-Nr.\" dem Feld \"Produkt-ID\" in NovaDB zugeordnet wird oder die Spalte \"Farbe\" mit dem Attribut \"Color\" abgeglichen wird. So können unterschiedliche Lieferantenangaben in die eigene Systematik übertragen, Attributwerte über viele Produkte hinweg einheitlich gepflegt oder ganze Kategorien von Beschreibungen in einem Schritt aktualisiert werden. Das spart Zeit, reduziert manuelle Arbeit und minimiert Fehler.

Fazit

Excel hat sich als vielseitiges und zuverlässiges Tool für die Verwaltung von Produktdaten etabliert, insbesondere in einfacheren Szenarien mit geringen Volumina. Mit wachsenden Katalogen, immer mehr Kanälen und einer zunehmenden Bedeutung der Datenqualität werden seine Grenzen jedoch immer deutlicher.

Ein PIM-System wie NovaDB ersetzt Excel nicht, sondern baut auf dessen Stärken auf und ergänzt es um Struktur, Automatisierung und Skalierbarkeit, um modernen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden. Die richtige Wahl hängt von der Komplexität und den Wachstumsplänen Ihres Unternehmens ab. Wenn Sie jedoch wissen, wann und wie Sie diese Tools kombinieren können, können Sie Produktdaten von einer Verwaltungslast in einen Wettbewerbsvorteil verwandeln.

Da Unternehmen ihre Produktlinien erweitern, die Zusammenarbeit verbessern und die Anforderungen des Omnichannel-Handels erfüllen möchten, bieten intelligentere Tools wie NovaDB PIM strukturierte, automatisierte und skalierbare Alternativen zu herkömmlichen Tabellenkalkulationen und verwandeln Produktdaten in einen echten Wettbewerbsvorteil.

Was ist ein Enterprise Headless CMS?

Ein Enterprise Headless CMS trennt Inhalt und Darstellung und stellt Inhalte über APIs bereit. So können Unternehmen Inhalte zentral verwalten und gleichzeitig über Websites, Apps und neue digitale Kanäle ausspielen – mit integrierter Skalierbarkeit, mehrsprachigen Workflows und Enterprise-Sicherheit.

„Headless“ bedeutet dass es kein festes Frontend gibt. Inhalte liegen in einem Backend, können aber überall veröffentlicht werden: auf Websites, in mobilen Apps, auf Displays oder Sprachassistenten.

Für Unternehmen ist diese Flexibilität entscheidend: Sie können in verschiedenen Märkten skalieren, Teams und Regionen effizient unterstützen und neue Technologien einführen – ohne das gesamte Content-System neu aufbauen zu müssen.

Warum traditionelle CMS für Unternehmen zum Problem werden?

Traditionelle CMS wurden für eine Zeit entwickelt, in der Websites der einzige Kanal waren und Content-Anforderungen überschaubar blieben. Heute stellen sie oft ein Hindernis dar.

Sie haben mit hohem Datenverkehr und der Komplexität mehrerer Kanäle zu kämpfen. Starre Templates schränken die Flexibilität ein, verlangsamen die Entwicklung und zwingen Teams, sich den Systemgrenzen anzupassen, statt das umzusetzen, was Nutzer wirklich brauchen.

Hinzu kommt der Wartungsaufwand: Server betreiben, Updates einspielen und Sicherheitslücken schließen kostet Ressourcen und lenkt vom Wesentlichen ab – Innovation. Wer im Enterprise-Umfeld flexibel und sicher agieren will, stößt mit klassischen CMS schnell an Grenzen.

Die Bedeutung von PIM für ihren Shop

Warum eine E-Commerce-Plattform erst gemeinsam mit einem PIM-System ihren vollen Mehrwert entfaltet

Der digitale Handel ist heute unverzichtbar. Doch mit jedem neuen Kanal, jeder Sprache und jedem Markt wächst auch die Komplexität im Produktdatenmanagement. Wer allein auf seine E Commerce Plattform für die Verwaltung von Produktdaten setzt, ob SAP Commerce Cloud, Adobe Commerce (Magento), Shopware oder HCL Commerce, stößt schnell an Grenzen. Informationen werden fehleranfällig, Datensilos bremsen die Effizienz, Kosten steigen. Am Ende leiden Umsatz, Kundenerlebnis und die Fähigkeit, neue Märkte zu erschließen.

Unser Whitepaper zeigt, warum ein PIM System der entscheidende Baustein für nachhaltigen Erfolg ist: als zentrale „Single Source of Truth“, die Ordnung ins Datenchaos bringt, Effizienz schafft und Omnichannel Strategien erst möglich macht. Neben den Grundlagen enthält es auch Praxisbeispiele, die verdeutlichen, welchen Unterschied PIM in realen Projekten macht.

Sicherheit für Headless-CMS: Schutz Ihrer Inhalte

Heutzutage müssen Inhalte schnell, flexibel und sicher sein. Headless-CMS-Plattformen erfüllen die ersten beiden Anforderungen – ohne starke Sicherheitsvorkehrungen kann die Sicherheit jedoch schnell zu einer Schwachstelle werden.

Ein Headless CMS (Content Management System) ist ein moderner Ansatz, bei dem das Backend (wo Inhalte gespeichert und verwaltet werden) vom Frontend (wo sie angezeigt werden) getrennt wird. Diese Trennung erhöht die Flexibilität, Skalierbarkeit und Omnichannel-Bereitstellung. Wie bei jeder digitalen Infrastruktur bleibt jedoch die Sicherheit ein kritischer Faktor. Da Headless-CMS-Plattformen bei der Verteilung von Inhalten stark auf APIs angewiesen sind, sind die Sicherung dieser APIs, die Verwaltung von Zugriffskontrollen und die Gewährleistung der Datenintegrität unerlässlich, um Cyber-Bedrohungen zu verhindern.

Sicherheitsaspekte in einer Headless-CMS-Umgebung

Um eine sichere Grundlage zu schaffen, ist es wichtig, zunächst zu verstehen, wie sich die Sicherheit von Headless-CMS von herkömmlichen Plattformen unterscheidet. Der architektonische Wandel verändert die Risiken – und die erforderlichen Schutzmaßnahmen.

Die Sicherheit in einem Headless-CMS muss anders angegangen werden als bei herkömmlichen Plattformen:

Entkoppelte Architektur: Backend und Frontend arbeiten unabhängig voneinander und erfordern sichere API-Verbindungen.
API-Abhängigkeit: APIs sind die entscheidende Verbindung für die Bereitstellung von Inhalten und müssen stark geschützt werden.
Cloud-Hosting: Die meisten Headless-CMS laufen in der Cloud. Im Rahmen des Shared Responsibility Model sorgt der Anbieter für die Sicherheit der Infrastruktur, während der Kunde für die Zugriffskontrolle, die API-Konfiguration und den Datenschutz verantwortlich ist.
Integrationen von Drittanbietern: E-Commerce-, Analyse- und CRM-Verbindungen vergrößern die Angriffsfläche, wenn sie nicht ordnungsgemäß gesichert sind.

Typische Sicherheitsrisiken bei Headless CMS

Kein CMS ist vollständig vor Angriffen geschützt. Das Verständnis der häufigsten Bedrohungen hilft Organisationen, sich auf reale Risiken vorzubereiten.

Typische Bedrohungen für Headless CMS

API-Ausnutzung – Angreifer können über ungesicherte Endpunkte Daten stehlen oder Schadcode einschleusen.
DDoS-Angriffe – APIs oder Auslieferungsendpunkte können durch massiven Traffic lahmgelegt werden, wenn keine Rate-Limits, Firewalls oder CDNs implementiert sind.
Unbefugter Zugriff – schwache Passwörter, fehlende Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung (MFA) und unzureichendes Identity Management setzen Systeme der Gefahr aus.
XSS & SQL Injection – auch wenn der CMS-Kern weniger anfällig ist, bleiben verbundene Frontends oder individuelle Integrationen ohne saubere Eingabevalidierung gefährdet.
Datenlecks – unverschlüsselte oder falsch konfigurierte Speicherlösungen können zu Compliance-Verstößen und Reputationsschäden führen.

Insider-Risiken durch den Faktor Mensch

Technologie allein kann ein CMS nicht absichern – Menschen bleiben das schwächste Glied. Insider-Bedrohungen, sowohl unbeabsichtigt als auch absichtlich, spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei Sicherheitsvorfällen.

Mitarbeiter, Auftragnehmer oder Partner mit Zugriff auf das CMS können unbeabsichtigt oder absichtlich Risiken erzeugen:

Phishing-Angriffe, die CMS-Zugangsdaten kompromittieren
Unbeabsichtigte Datenoffenlegung durch falsch konfigurierte Berechtigungen
Unbefugte Änderungen durch unzufriedene oder ehemalige Mitarbeiter mit verbleibendem Zugriff
Schwaches Zugriffsmanagement durch zu weit gefasste Berechtigungen

Gegenmaßnahmen: Einführung starker IAM-Strategien, Erzwingung von MFA, Anwendung rollenbasierter Zugriffskontrollen (RBAC) und regelmäßige Sicherheitsschulungen.

Besondere Sicherheitsvorteile eines Headless CMS

Sicherheit in einem Headless CMS bedeutet nicht nur Herausforderungen – im Vergleich zu traditionellen Systemen gibt es auch klare Vorteile. Das Verständnis dieser Stärken hilft Organisationen, darauf aufzubauen.

Reduzierte Angriffsfläche – kein öffentlich zugängliches Backend
Moderne API-Sicherheit – OAuth2, JWT und API-Keys sind Standard
Cloud-Sicherheit – Nutzung von Anbieter-Tools wie DDoS-Schutz, Key-Management und automatisierte Bedrohungserkennung
Granulare Berechtigungen & Audit-Logs – ermöglichen Nachvollziehbarkeit und Governance
Versionskontrolle – erlaubt Rollbacks und die Erkennung unbefugter Änderungen

API-Sicherheit als Kern des Headless-CMS-Schutzes

APIs sind die Lebensader eines Headless CMS – und zugleich das wichtigste Ziel für Angreifer. Ihr Schutz sollte daher immer oberste Priorität haben.

Authentifizierung & Autorisierung: OAuth2/JWT, RBAC, MFA für Benutzer
Traffic-Schutz: Erzwingung von HTTPS/TLS, IP-Whitelisting und Rate Limiting
Monitoring & Logging: Überwachung von Requests, Erkennung von Anomalien und Integration mit SIEM-Systemen
Datenschutz: Verschlüsselung von Daten sowohl während der Übertragung als auch im Ruhezustand

Integrität von Inhalten schützen

Es reicht nicht aus, nur den Zugriff zu schützen – Organisationen müssen auch sicherstellen, dass die Inhalte selbst korrekt und sicher bleiben.

Verschlüsselung & Hashing: Manipulation erkennen und gespeicherte Daten absichern
Sichere CDNs: Token-basierter Zugriff, automatisierte Bedrohungserkennung und DDoS-Abwehr
Backups & Disaster Recovery: Regelmäßige automatische Backups und ein Wiederherstellungsplan für Sicherheitsvorfälle oder Ausfälle

Bewährte Vorgehensweisen für die Sicherheit im Headless CMS

Prinzipien in die Praxis umzusetzen, ist der Schlüssel zu starker Sicherheit. Diese Best Practices bieten Organisationen eine klare Orientierung.

APIs absichern mit OAuth2/JWT, RBAC und MFA
TLS erzwingen und CSP-Header in Frontends anwenden
API-Aktivitäten überwachen durch Logging, SIEM und Anomalieerkennung
Updates und Patches zeitnah einspielen; Abhängigkeiten auf Schwachstellen prüfen
API-Exposition begrenzen auf notwendige Endpunkte und Daten
Sensible Inhalte verschlüsseln und sichere CDNs nutzen
Penetrationstests und Schwachstellenscans durchführen; Bug-Bounty-Programme in Betracht ziehen
Mitarbeiter schulen im sicheren Umgang mit Zugangsdaten und im Erkennen von Phishing-Versuchen

Lehren aus realen Sicherheitsvorfällen

Ein Blick auf vergangene CMS-Vorfälle liefert praktische Erkenntnisse. Diese Fälle zeigen, warum zeitnahe Updates, sichere APIs und Monitoring unerlässlich sind.

WordPress Plugin Exploit (2021) – Angreifer nutzten ein verwundbares Plugin, um Millionen von Websites zu kompromittieren. Lehre: Drittanbieter-Komponenten schnell patchen.
Drupalgeddon – eine kritische Schwachstelle ermöglichte Remote Code Execution. Lehre: Sicherheits-Notfallpatches sofort einspielen.
API-Fehlkonfigurationen in Cloud-CMS – private Daten wurden über ungesicherte Endpunkte offengelegt. Lehre: APIs kontinuierlich absichern und überwachen.

Hosting-Optionen: Cloud oder On-Premises

Wo ein CMS gehostet wird, hat direkten Einfluss auf sein Risikoprofil. Sowohl Cloud- als auch On-Premises-Optionen bringen Vorteile und Nachteile mit sich.

Cloud-Risiken: Geteilte Infrastruktur, Abhängigkeit vom Anbieter, Prüfungen zur regulatorischen Compliance
On-Premises-Risiken: Verantwortung für Updates, Monitoring und physische Sicherheit liegt vollständig bei der Organisation

Headless CMS vs. traditionelles CMS – Sicherheitsunterschiede

Der Vergleich zwischen traditionellem und Headless CMS zeigt, wie die Architektur die Sicherheit beeinflusst. Jeder Ansatz bringt eigene Stärken und Schwächen mit sich.

Traditionelles CMS: Monolithisch, große Angriffsfläche, Plugin-Risiken, Fehlkonfigurationen
Headless CMS: API-first, entkoppeltes Frontend, granulare Zugriffskontrollen, einfacher in Zero-Trust-Modelle integrierbar

Fazit

Am Ende ist Sicherheit keine einmalige Aufgabe, sondern eine kontinuierliche Disziplin. Ein Headless CMS verlagert den Fokus auf APIs, Identität und Cloud-Governance – mit den richtigen Maßnahmen kann es jedoch ein sehr hohes Sicherheitsniveau erreichen.

Durch die Absicherung von APIs, den Einsatz starker IAM-Konzepte, das zeitnahe Einspielen von Patches und die bewusste Wahl des Hosting-Modells können Organisationen ihre Content-Infrastruktur vor neuen Bedrohungen schützen – und gleichzeitig die Flexibilität und Skalierbarkeit nutzen, die Headless-CMS-Architekturen bieten.

NovaDB 5.3 Release – Stärker im Team, stabiler im Betrieb

Optimierte Redaktions-Workflows, klare Rollen und sichere Prozesse

NovaDB 5.3 verbessert die Teamarbeit, vereinfacht Workflows und steigert die Datenbank-Performance. Mit neuen Funktionen im Visual Editor, erweiterten Möglichkeiten zur Datenpflege und zusätzlichen API-Funktionen sorgt das Release für mehr Effizienz, Sicherheit und Stabilität im täglichen Betrieb.

Würzburg, 17. September 2025 – Die Noxum GmbH, ein führender Anbieter von Lösungen für Informationsmanagement, Produktdatenverwaltung und Content Management, gibt die Verfügbarkeit von NovaDB 5.3 bekannt. Mit dem neuen Release setzt Noxum auf mehr Übersicht, Stabilität und praktische Verbesserungen, die Unternehmen ihre tägliche Arbeit erleichtern.

Bessere Kollaboration: Inhalte gemeinsam und sicher bearbeiten

Mit NovaDB 5.3 wird die Zusammenarbeit in Redaktionsteams weiter verbessert. Inhalte lassen sich in der Weboberfläche zuverlässiger bearbeiten, während erweiterte Sperrfunktionen dafür sorgen, dass parallele Änderungen an Content-Modulen noch konsequenter vermieden werden. So arbeiten alle Beteiligten stets mit dem aktuellen Stand. Unterbrechungen der Netzwerkverbindung werden beim Speichern klar angezeigt, was zusätzliche Sicherheit im Arbeitsprozess schafft. Zudem können Workflows in Redaktionsteams besser abgebildet werden, sodass Aufgaben klarer verteilt und Bearbeitungsprozesse transparenter gesteuert werden.

Neuerungen im NovaDB Visual Editor für mehr Teamarbeit

Der NovaDB Visual Editor wurde mit neuen Funktionen ausgestattet, die die Zusammenarbeit in Teams weiter fördern. Das Read-Only-Verhalten wurde optimiert und bietet nun erweiterte Möglichkeiten zur Verwaltung von schreibgeschützten Inhalten. Das sorgt für mehr Klarheit und unterstützt einen intuitiven Arbeitsfluss – insbesondere im redaktionellen Alltag mit großen Teams. Darüber hinaus wurde die Arbeit mit Verlinkungen erweitert: Interne und externe Links, zum Beispiel aus Fremdsystemen wie ERP-Lösungen, lassen sich direkt in Text- und Tabellenkomponenten einsetzen. Verbesserungen in der Tastaturnavigation erleichtern den Zugriff auf einzelne Elemente im Visual Editor, erhöhen die Benutzerfreundlichkeit und beschleunigen die Bearbeitung.

Neue Funktion in der Massenbearbeitung

Das Entfernen von Werten ist in der Massenbearbeitung an vielen Objekten jetzt gleichzeitig möglich. Dies spart Zeit, reduziert manuelle Arbeitsschritte und sorgt für eine effizientere Pflege.

Automatische Daten-Maintenance für verbesserte Datenbank-Performance

Für die Datenpflege steht ein neuer Job bereit, mit dem historische Daten gezielt gelöscht werden können. Zu historischen Daten zählen beispielsweise alle Änderungen, die an einem Artikel oder Content-Modul im Laufe der Zeit vorgenommen wurden – oftmals tausende automatisch protokollierte Einträge von der Erstellung bis zur Freigabe. Mit NovaDB 5.3 können Anwender selbst festlegen, wie lange diese Historie aufbewahrt werden soll. So lässt sich etwa einstellen, dass nur die letzten sechs Monate erhalten bleiben. Damit wird die Datenbank entlastet und die Performance verbessert.

Neue und optimierte Jobs

Der Thumbnail-Job wurde erweitert und verarbeitet nun zusätzlich OpenOffice- sowie ältere Microsoft-Office-Formate. Im Job Manager sorgen die optimierte Bereinigung und die Möglichkeit, Read-Only-Jobs auszuführen, für mehr Stabilität.

Diese Erweiterung ist besonders wichtig für Kunden und Partner, die eigene Jobs schreiben: Sie können jetzt Read-Only-Jobs auf Arbeitspaketen ausführen, für die sie lediglich Leserechte besitzen. Dies erhöht die Sicherheit und schafft Transparenz in der Zusammenarbeit.

Zusätzlich können wartende Jobs jetzt gezielt abgebrochen werden.

Core API: Mehr Kontrolle über Daten und Workflows

Die Core API wurde um Funktionen für das Sperren von Objekten und Arbeitspaketen, für Read-Only-Jobs sowie für die Kürzung der Datenhistorie ergänzt. Damit lassen sich Löschjobs selbst konfigurieren und über die API steuern, zum Beispiel in Verbindung mit ERP-Systemen. So kann definiert werden, dass bei einem bestimmten Ereignis im ERP-System, etwa wenn ein Produktstatus geändert wird, automatisch ein Job zum Löschen veralteter Datenhistorien ausgeführt wird. Zusätzlich kann der CMS-Client jetzt im Read-Only-Modus betrieben werden, was klare Rollenverteilungen unterstützt und die Arbeit bei Prüf- und Freigabeprozessen erleichtert

Stabilität durch moderne Standards

Eine zentrale Neuerung ist die Einführung aktueller Standards mit Fokus auf moderne Datenbanken und ein verbessertes Monitoring durch OpenTelemetry. Dabei werden verschiedene Systemdaten wie Protokolle, Kennzahlen und Abläufe gesammelt und zur Auswertung weitergegeben. So können IT-Teams und Devops ihre Systeme leichter im Blick behalten, was für mehr Transparenz, Stabilität und eine zukunftssichere Basis sorgt

Omnichannel vs. Unified Commerce

Im heutigen Einzelhandel und E-Commerce erwarten Kunden reibungslose, personalisierte Erlebnisse – egal ob sie online einkaufen, ein Geschäft besuchen oder über soziale Medien interagieren. Um diese Erwartungen zu erfüllen, haben Unternehmen Strategien wie Omnichannel und neuerdings auch Unified Commerce eingeführt. Obwohl die Begriffe oft synonym verwendet werden, beschreiben sie zwei sehr unterschiedliche Ansätze, um Kundenerlebnisse über mehrere Touchpoints hinweg zu gestalten.

Der Hauptunterschied zwischen Omnichannel und Unified Commerce liegt in der Integration. Omnichannel verbindet Vertrieb und Marketing über verschiedene Kanäle, behält Systeme und Plattformen jedoch häufig getrennt. Unified Commerce dagegen zentralisiert Bestände, Zahlungen und Kundendaten auf einer einzigen Echtzeit-Plattform und ermöglicht dadurch ein nahtloses Kundenerlebnis mit vollständiger Datensynchronisation.

Dieser Unterschied hat große Auswirkungen – nicht nur darauf, wie Unternehmen mit Kunden interagieren, sondern auch darauf, wie sie ihre Abläufe steuern, Daten nachverfolgen und ihr Wachstum skalieren können.

Was ist Omnichannel Commerce?

Omnichannel Commerce ist eine Handelsstrategie, die darauf abzielt, Kunden über alle Touchpoints hinweg ein konsistentes und vernetztes Erlebnis zu bieten – sei es über eine Website, eine mobile App, ein Ladengeschäft, ein Callcenter oder soziale Medien. Ziel ist es, Kunden den einfachen Wechsel zwischen Kanälen während ihrer Customer Journey zu ermöglichen, ohne dass Kontext oder Kontinuität verloren gehen.

In der Praxis könnte ein Kunde zum Beispiel:

ein Produkt online ansehen
es in den mobilen Warenkorb legen
ein Geschäft besuchen, um es vor Ort zu prüfen
und den Kauf schließlich am Desktop abschließen

Für Kunden wirkt die Reise nahtlos. Hinter den Kulissen stützen sich die einzelnen Kanäle jedoch oft auf fragmentierte Systeme – etwa für Lagerbestand, Auftragsabwicklung oder Kundenservice – die manuell oder nur teilweise miteinander verbunden sind.

Was ist Unified Commerce?

Unified Commerce baut auf dem Omnichannel-Konzept auf und geht einen Schritt weiter. Anstatt Kanäle lediglich an der Oberfläche zu verbinden, integriert Unified Commerce alle Systeme – Vertrieb, Lagerbestand, Auftragsmanagement und Kundendaten – in einer einzigen zentralen Plattform.

Das Ergebnis:

Eine einheitliche Datenbasis für Bestände über alle Standorte hinweg
Echtzeit-Kundendaten, auf die jeder Verkäufer oder Servicemitarbeiter zugreifen kann
Sofortige Synchronisation von Aktionen wie Rabatten, Rückgaben oder Lieferstatus

Unified Commerce bedeutet vollständige Abstimmung zwischen Frontend-Erlebnissen und Backend-Systemen. So können Unternehmen schneller reagieren, effizienter arbeiten und wirklich reibungslose Kundenerlebnisse bieten.

Omnichannel vs. Unified: Wichtige Unterschiede

Systemarchitektur

Omnichannel: Entsteht durch die Verbindung getrennter Systeme (POS, CRM, E-Commerce, Lager) über APIs oder Middleware. Die Infrastruktur bleibt oft fragmentiert.
Unified Commerce: Läuft auf einer einzigen Plattform oder einem eng integrierten System, in dem alle Komponenten Daten nativ teilen.

Datenfluss und Synchronisation

Omnichannel: Datenabgleich erfolgt mit Verzögerungen oder Inkonsistenzen. Echtzeit-Sicht ist eingeschränkt.
Unified Commerce: Echtzeit-Datenfluss über alle Systeme hinweg – Bestellungen, Lager, Kundendaten und Zahlungen.

Bestandsmanagement

Omnichannel: Lagerbestände werden pro Kanal verwaltet; Transparenzlücken sind häufig.
Unified Commerce: Zentrale, aktuelle Sicht auf alle Bestände in allen Kanälen und Standorten.

Kundendaten und Profile

Omnichannel: Kundendaten können kanalweise isoliert sein, was zu Duplikaten oder Inkonsistenzen führt.
Unified Commerce: Einheitliche Kundenprofile, die alle Interaktionen und Kanäle bündeln.

Auftragsabwicklung und Retouren

Omnichannel: Prozesse wie Retouren im Laden für Online-Bestellungen sind möglich, erfordern aber oft manuelle Schritte.
Unified Commerce: Vollständig integrierte Abwicklung und Rückgabe mit konsistenten Richtlinien über alle Touchpoints.

Checkout und Zahlungen

Omnichannel: Unterschiedliche Zahlungssysteme pro Kanal, was zu Abweichungen führen kann.
Unified Commerce: Einheitliche Zahlungsinfrastruktur für reibungslosere Transaktionen und einfachere Abstimmung.

Reporting und Analytics

Omnichannel: Benötigt Datenaggregation aus mehreren Systemen, oft mit Verzögerungen.
Unified Commerce: Zentrales, Echtzeit-Reporting mit vollständiger Transparenz über Kundenverhalten und Abläufe.

Kundenerlebnis

Omnichannel: Bietet ein relativ nahtloses Erlebnis, doch Backend-Disconnects können Probleme verursachen.
Unified Commerce: Schafft ein durchgehend flüssiges Kundenerlebnis mit synchronisierten Systemen hinter jeder Interaktion.

Skalierbarkeit

Omnichannel: Wird mit zunehmenden Kanälen und Integrationen schwieriger zu skalieren.
Unified Commerce: Dank zentraler Struktur und modularer Plattform besser skalierbar.

Implementierungsgeschwindigkeit

Omnichannel: Einfacher und schneller umzusetzen, da bestehende Systeme genutzt werden.
Unified Commerce: Benötigt mehr Zeit für tiefe Integration und Datenvereinheitlichung.

Kosten

Omnichannel: Niedrigere Einstiegskosten, aber höhere Wartung und manuelle Aufwände langfristig.
Unified Commerce: Höhere Anfangsinvestition, aber effizientere Abläufe und geringere Integrationskosten über die Zeit.

IT- und Lieferantenmanagement

Omnichannel: Mehrere Anbieter und Systeme erhöhen die IT-Komplexität.
Unified Commerce: Eine zentrale Plattform vereinfacht Anbieterbeziehungen und Support.

Business Agility

Omnichannel: Langsamere Anpassungen oder Innovationen aufgrund getrennter Architektur.
Unified Commerce: Ermöglicht schnelle Innovationen und neue Funktionen aus einer zentralen Steuerung.

Wann sollte man Omnichannel und wann Unified Commerce einsetzen?

Omnichannel eignet sich, wenn:

Sie ein kleines bis mittelständisches Unternehmen sind, das mit mehreren Kanälen startet.
Sie das Kundenerlebnis verbessern möchten, ohne Ihre Backend-Systeme komplett neu aufzubauen.
Ihre Verkaufszahlen noch mit etwas manueller Koordination zu bewältigen sind.

Unified Commerce eignet sich, wenn:

Sie ein größeres Einzelhandelsunternehmen mit vielen physischen und digitalen Kanälen betreiben.
Sie Echtzeit-Transparenz über Lagerbestände, Kundendaten und Bestellungen benötigen.
Sie schnell skalieren möchten, ohne die Komplexität des Backends zu erhöhen.
Ihr Geschäftsmodell auf fehlerfreien kanalübergreifenden Prozessen basiert (z. B. Click & Collect, Rückgaben im Laden).

Kann man später von Omnichannel auf Unified Commerce wechseln?

Ja, Unternehmen können mit der Zeit von Omnichannel zu Unified Commerce übergehen – und viele tun das, sobald sie wachsen. Während Omnichannel Multi-Channel-Erlebnisse mit lose gekoppelten Systemen ermöglicht, erfordert Unified Commerce tiefere Plattformintegration – inklusive Lager, POS, CRM und Zahlungssystemen – in eine einheitliche Datenbasis.

Der Übergang umfasst sowohl technische Upgrades – wie Datenkonsolidierung und Ersatz isolierter Systeme – als auch organisatorische Anpassungen, etwa Mitarbeiterschulungen und neue Prozesse.

Dieser Wandel muss nicht auf einmal erfolgen. Viele Unternehmen gehen schrittweise vor: zunächst Lager oder Auftragsmanagement vereinheitlichen, dann nach und nach Kundenprofile, Zahlungen und Analytics integrieren.

Trotz der anfänglichen Investitionen lohnt sich der Übergang langfristig: Echtzeit-Transparenz, weniger Fehler und ein durchgehend nahtloses Kundenerlebnis sind entscheidende Vorteile.

Fazit

Zusammengefasst verbessern sowohl Omnichannel als auch Unified Commerce die Customer Journey über verschiedene Touchpoints hinweg. Unified Commerce liefert jedoch eine vollständig integrierte, skalierbare Echtzeit-Lösung, indem Daten, Systeme und Abläufe auf einer Plattform zentralisiert werden.

Diese enge Abstimmung von Frontend-Erlebnissen und Backend-Infrastruktur ermöglicht es Unternehmen, Kundeninteraktionen personalisiert, effizient und reibungslos zu gestalten. Mit Blick auf die Zukunft des Handels bietet Unified Commerce die nötige Agilität, Genauigkeit und operative Effizienz, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben und steigende Kundenerwartungen zu erfüllen.

Implementierung eines Headless CMS: Herausforderungen meistern

Headless-CMS-Plattformen sind zu einer leistungsstarken Möglichkeit geworden, Inhalte über APIs auf Websites, in Apps und anderen digitalen Touchpoints bereitzustellen. Diese Vielseitigkeit macht sie für die moderne Webentwicklung immer beliebter.

Die Implementierung eines Headless CMS bringt jedoch einige Herausforderungen mit sich, darunter die Komplexität der APIs, fehlende native Funktionen und die Notwendigkeit von Fachwissen im Bereich Frontend-Entwicklung. Um diese zu bewältigen, müssen Teams die Architektur sorgfältig planen, flexible CMS-Plattformen auswählen und eine enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen Entwicklern und Content-Managern etablieren.

Häufige Herausforderungen bei der Implementierung von Headless-CMS und wie man sie meistert

Technische Komplexität

Der Umstieg auf Headless erfordert tiefere technische Kenntnisse als herkömmliche CMS-Setups. Entwickler müssen mit Frontend-Frameworks, APIs und Omnichannel-Content-Delivery vertraut sein. Für Teams, die an monolithische Systeme gewöhnt sind, gibt es eine Lernkurve, die jedoch zu bewältigen ist.

Viele moderne Entwicklungsteams arbeiten bereits mit Tools wie React, Vue oder Angular, und es stehen immer mehr Ressourcen, Frameworks und Starter-Kits zur Verfügung, um die Lücke zu schließen. Einige Headless-CMS-Plattformen bieten mittlerweile Low-Code-Integrationen und robuste SDKs, die den Implementierungsprozess erheblich vereinfachen.

Content-Modellierung und -Strategie

Bevor etwas aufgebaut wird, müssen die Inhalte sorgfältig strukturiert werden. Ein Headless-CMS basiert auf klaren, wiederverwendbaren Content-Modellen. Ohne diese besteht die Gefahr von Fragmentierung und Inkonsistenz. Diese Vorarbeit mag entmutigend erscheinen, zahlt sich aber in Form von Skalierbarkeit und Flexibilität aus. Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Content-Strategen und Entwicklern zu Beginn des Prozesses erleichtert diesen Schritt.

Integration in bestehende Systeme

Headless-CMS-Plattformen müssen mit CRMs, Analysetools, E-Commerce-Systemen und anderen Geschäftsanwendungen verbunden werden, um ein konsistentes Kundenerlebnis und einen einheitlichen Datenfluss zu gewährleisten. Durch diese Integrationen bleiben Inhalte, Produktinformationen und Kundenerkenntnisse über alle digitalen Kanäle hinweg synchronisiert.

Die Integration eines Headless CMS in Altsysteme, CRMs, Analysetools oder E-Commerce-Plattformen kann komplex sein. Eine API-first-Architektur ermöglicht jedoch eine nahtlose Interoperabilität über Middleware, GraphQL-Schichten oder vorgefertigte Konnektoren.

Anfangskosten und Ressourcen

Die Implementierung eines Headless-CMS erfordert oft höhere Vorabinvestitionen in Entwicklung, Teamschulung und Infrastruktur-Einrichtung. Zu den langfristigen Vorteilen gehören jedoch eine verbesserte Skalierbarkeit, eine höhere Leistung, Unabhängigkeit von Anbietern und schnellere Pipelines für die Bereitstellung von Inhalten.

Kleinere Teams können die Komplexität reduzieren, indem sie mit einer Hybridlösung beginnen oder eine Headless-CMS-Plattform verwenden, die Managed Hosting und vorkonfigurierte APIs bietet.

Eine Hybridlösung kombiniert Elemente sowohl des traditionellen als auch des Headless-CMS-Ansatzes – sie bietet integrierte visuelle Bearbeitung und Seitenverwaltung und stellt gleichzeitig Inhalte über APIs für die Omnichannel-Bereitstellung bereit. Auf diese Weise können Teams schrittweise Headless-Workflows einführen, ohne bestehende Systeme komplett neu aufzubauen, was sie zu einer praktischen Brücke für Unternehmen im Umbruch macht.

Schulungen und Anpassungen der Arbeitsabläufe

Content-Teams, die von traditionellen WYSIWYG-Tools umsteigen, sind möglicherweise mit dem strukturierten und entkoppelten Ansatz eines Headless-CMS nicht vertraut. Plattformen wie NovaDB, die visuelle Editoren, modulare Content-Komponenten und Live-Vorschau-Umgebungen kombinieren, können diesen Übergang erheblich erleichtern und die Content-Governance stärken.

Sicherheit und Governance

API-first-Systeme bringen neue Sicherheitsaspekte mit sich. Starke Authentifizierung, rollenbasierte Zugriffskontrolle und gründliche Überwachung sind unerlässlich, gehören aber auch zur Standardpraxis in der modernen Webentwicklung. Die meisten Anbieter von Headless-CMS bieten integrierte Sicherheitsfunktionen und Compliance-Unterstützung für Vorschriften wie DSGVO und SOC 2. Die frühzeitige Festlegung interner Governance-Richtlinien trägt dazu bei, die Konsistenz und Kontrolle bei der Skalierung Ihres CMS aufrechtzuerhalten.

Best Practices für die Implementierung eines Headless CMS

Beginnen Sie mit einem Proof-of-Concept (PoC) oder Pilotprojekt

Ein Pilotprojekt in kleinem Maßstab hilft dabei, Architektur, Workflows und Tools zu validieren, bevor Sie sich zu einer vollständigen Migration verpflichten. So können Teams Annahmen testen, Integrationsprobleme aufdecken und Feedback sammeln, ohne die gesamte Content-Infrastruktur zu gefährden.

Wählen Sie das richtige Headless CMS und bewerten Sie es sorgfältig

Die Wahl der richtigen Plattform bedeutet, die Funktionen des CMS auf Ihren Anwendungsfall abzustimmen. Schauen Sie über das Marketing hinaus und bewerten Sie Kernfunktionen wie Flexibilität bei der Content-Modellierung, API-Leistung, Benutzerfreundlichkeit des Editors, Integrationsoptionen und Preisstruktur.

Konzipieren Sie eine modulare, komponentenbasierte Content-Architektur

Die Erstellung von Inhalten mit wiederverwendbaren, modularen Komponenten fördert Konsistenz und Skalierbarkeit. Ein gut strukturiertes Content-Modell vereinfacht die API-Nutzung, ermöglicht die Bereitstellung über mehrere Kanäle und reduziert Duplikate zwischen den verschiedenen Bereichen.

Verwenden Sie die richtige Strategie für SEO und Performance

Um eine starke SEO und schnelle Ladezeiten zu gewährleisten, verwenden Sie Server-Side Rendering (SSR), Static Site Generation (SSG) oder ein Hybridmodell – kombiniert mit effektiven Caching- und Content-Delivery-Strategien für schnelle, crawlbare Erlebnisse.
SSR generiert Seiten jedes Mal, wenn sie angefordert werden, auf dem Server und sorgt so für aktuelle und suchmaschinenfreundliche Inhalte – ideal für dynamische oder personalisierte Seiten.

SSG erstellt Seiten während der Bereitstellung vorab und liefert statische Dateien direkt aus einem CDN, um maximale Geschwindigkeit und Sicherheit zu gewährleisten – perfekt für stabile Inhalte wie Blogs oder Marketingseiten.

Hybridmodelle kombinieren beide Ansätze und verwenden statisches Rendering für stabile Bereiche und On-Demand-SSR für dynamische Teile. Frameworks wie Next.js, Nuxt oder Gatsby erleichtern es, Leistung, Flexibilität und SEO in Einklang zu bringen.

Frühzeitige Einbindung von DevOps, CI/CD und Monitoring

Die Automatisierung von Bereitstellungen und die Überwachung der API-Leistung von Anfang an reduzieren Ausfallzeiten und technische Schulden. CI/CD-Pipelines, Monitoring-Tools und Protokollierung sorgen für Stabilität und schnelle Wiederherstellung, wenn Probleme auftreten.

Funktionsübergreifende Schulungen und Governance-Richtlinien

Eine erfolgreiche Einführung hängt von der Abstimmung innerhalb des Teams ab. Durch die Schulung von Content-Erstellern und Entwicklern zum Content-Modell und den Workflows in Verbindung mit einer klaren Governance für Änderungen werden Verwirrung vermieden und die Systemintegrität gewahrt.

Inkrementelle Migration und paralleler Betrieb

Anstelle einer „Big Bang“-Umstellung können Teams durch eine schrittweise Migration Legacy- und Headless-Systeme parallel betreiben. Dies reduziert Risiken, erleichtert die Einarbeitung und ermöglicht Fallback-Optionen während der Umstellung.

Überwachen, iterieren und betreuen

Durch die kontinuierliche Überwachung der Content-Performance, des Feedbacks der Redakteure und des Systemverhaltens können Unternehmen ihre Konfiguration optimieren und sich an veränderte Geschäftsanforderungen anpassen.

Wann Headless möglicherweise nicht die beste Wahl ist

Headless-CMS bieten zwar große Flexibilität für die Bereitstellung von Inhalten über mehrere Kanäle, sind jedoch nicht für jedes Unternehmen notwendig. Wenn sich Ihre digitale Strategie hauptsächlich auf eine einzige Website und nicht auf mehrere Plattformen oder Touchpoints konzentriert, kann ein traditionelles oder hybrides CMS die effizientere und kostengünstigere Option sein.

Traditionelle Systeme verfügen über integrierte visuelle Editoren, SEO-Tools und Plugin-Ökosysteme, die die Einrichtung vereinfachen und den technischen Aufwand reduzieren. Für Teams, die keine komplexen Integrationen oder die Bereitstellung über mehrere Kanäle benötigen, bietet ein traditionelles CMS alles Notwendige bei geringerer architektonischer Komplexität und schnellerer Bereitstellung.

Fazit: Planung für eine erfolgreiche Headless-CMS-Einführung

Headless-CMS-Plattformen eröffnen leistungsstarke Möglichkeiten für die Bereitstellung von Inhalten über mehrere Kanäle und ermöglichen so mehr Flexibilität, Leistung und Skalierbarkeit. Diese Flexibilität ist jedoch mit architektonischen, betrieblichen und organisatorischen Anforderungen verbunden, die sorgfältig gemanagt werden müssen. Von der Content-Modellierung und Preview-Tools bis hin zur API-Integration und SEO-Strategie hängt der Erfolg mit Headless von einer durchdachten Planung, funktionsübergreifender Zusammenarbeit und einem iterativen Ansatz ab.

Die erfolgreichsten Implementierungen beginnen mit klaren Zielen, einer ehrlichen Einschätzung der Teamfähigkeiten und einer schrittweisen Einführung, die Lernen und kontinuierliche Verbesserung fördert.

Today, customers' expectations of their customer journey have fundamentally changed. Customers expect a tailored product experience across all media and touchpoints. The basis for this is consistent product information and compelling marketing content. Omnichannel Product Experience Management aims to present products to potential customers in a convincing way and to make it possible for them to experience them.

As part of a PXM strategy, consistency of product information must be ensured across all distribution channels. The basis is formed by error-free and relevant product information. This gives the customer a harmonious picture and unambiguous information. The customer is thus shown genuine appreciation and attention. He has the feeling that he is putting himself in reliable hands.

Building Strong Foundation for Successful PXM Implementation

Product Experience Management (PXM) can only be implemented if you create a holistic foundation for your product data. You can achieve this if you manage all your product data and product information and text modules and media assets in a central PIM-System  and can automatically play out the product data from the system in a qualitative, appealing, personalized and context-related manner via functioning interfaces.

The Technology That Drives PXM: Modern & Future-proof

Drive Forward with the Force of MACH Architecture

Agile, nimble, customer-oriented and future-proof, these are all characteristics that modern software must bring. That means moving away from monolithic architecture, breaking up legacy applications and introducing a modular architecture instead. To keep pace with customer expectations and master the digital world, many companies rely on MACH.

What is MACH, or MACH Architecture?

MACH is based on principles and best-of-breed technologies: The acronym stands for microservices-based, API-first, cloud-native and headless.

Enterprises have the freedom to choose from the best tools on the market when building their enterprise software stacks: because this set of modern technology principles from MACH includes a best-of-breed approach The structure allows tools from it to be easily added, replaced or removed.

Microservices

Microservices replace the traditional monolithic architecture. Microservices are applications to efficiently solve specific requirements. The applications can be developed independently and coupled with each other. New features and customizations can be introduced faster because only a small part has to be adapted and not the whole system landscape as for example with a software monolith.

API-first

API (Application-Programming-Interface) are interfaces between applications. Among other things, the standardized interfaces enable data to be exchanged between individual applications. Two or more applications or services can thus interact with each other quickly and easily. The entire functionality of NovaDB is provided via a self-documenting API.

Cloud-Native

NovaDB was designed and developed as a cloud-native application. As a cloud-native, you benefit from all the advantages of a cloud. Benefits include elastic scaling of highly available resources, resilience, server and hardware cost savings, and automatic updates. As Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), NovaDB is up and running very quickly without long project lead times or development.

Headless

Headless means the front-end user experience such as a website is decoupled from the back-end logic, channels and programming language. This provides design freedom for creating user interfaces for multiple channels and devices. NovaDB acts as the central data source. Here, content is maintained in a platform-independent headless CMS and aggregated from different data sources. The content can then be published to a wide variety of platforms, media and channels via interfaces. For example, with Gatsby, Shopify, etc.

Mach+

Use NovaDB as a low-code development platform with pre-built and extensible application packages. Dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of building. NovaDB enables you to extract and transform a wide variety of data formats from a wide variety of sources, refine them in an automated way, and deliver them to every point of contact.

Benefits of MACH Architecture and NovaDB PXM

Shorter time to launch new features and functionality
Shorter project lead times and cost-efficient development
Freedom to customize and innovate
Maximum scalability, reliability, security
Simplified connection to systems and applications
NovaDB adapts to your wishes and requirements
Flexibility through Software as a Service model
Utilization of current technologies

NovaDB Headless Composable Commerce Solution: The future of Omnichannel Commerce

Flexibility is crucial in modern e-commerce. Composable Commerce and NovaDB offer just that - they allow companies to customize their online commerce platforms.

What is Composable Commerce?

Composable commerce is an approach to e-commerce that allows companies to customize their commerce platforms in a modular way. Instead of using a standardized \"one-size-fits-all\" solution, composable commerce allows companies to select specific software components and services and connect them via APIs (interfaces).

Each of these software components or services fulfills a specific function, be it in the area of the online store, the enterprise resource planning system (ERP), the product information management (PIM), the content management system (CMS) or the point-of-sale system (POS).

The advantage of this approach lies in its flexibility: companies can select the tools and services best suited to their needs and quickly replace or expand them as required. This enables greater adaptability to specific business requirements and market changes.

NovaDB opens up a new dimension of content creation with the integration of GPT in its Content Management System (CMS). It uses deep learning to create, summarize, simplify or translate texts. With NovaDB, you can easily create, manage and translate high-quality content that will inspire your target audience: Tonality, language style and scope such as paragraphs can be selected as desired. These features, as well as automatic generation and adaptation, significantly reduce time and costs.

Smart Techdoc AI-supported Translation and Localization Management

Collaboration made easy

NovaDB Visual Editor: Collaboration in Technical Documentation with Marketing and Product Management

Efficient content creation relies on close collaboration between technical writers, marketing teams, and product management. With the NovaDB PIM application package, product managers can centrally create and maintain product information – structured, version-controlled, and media-neutral. These well-maintained data sets form the foundation for a wide range of output channels and content formats.

Next, the NovaDB Visual Editor comes into play: it offers a true WYSIWYG experience with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, allowing content such as text, images, and videos to be placed and edited directly within the layout. The marketing team uses the editor to create print and online marketing materials – efficiently, flexibly, and in line with brand guidelines.

Based on the centrally maintained PIM data, not only technical documentation is created, but also product catalogs, marketing materials, and landing pages – all built from a modular content system. The integrated omnichannel functionality ensures consistent delivery across web, print, and digital platforms.

Capture, collect, manage, compile versioned medical and clinical data and make it available for analysis

The European Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) requires medical device manufacturers to document the usage of their products once they are on the market and report this information to the competent authorities through Post-Market Surveillance (PMS). As a manufacturer, you are now responsible for establishing content and data processes to meet these regulatory obligations.

When designing PMS processes under the MDR, the following factors must be considered:

Internal and external data sources
Proactive measures by the manufacturer - planning and reporting system
Reactive measures by the manufacturer such as reporting and analysis of data

A look at the PMS objectives shows how diverse the requirements for process optimization can be. In an initial discussion with you, we are eager to hear about your requirements for data and content processes!

The objectives of Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) are to.

Identify the risks involved in the practical use of the product in a systematic manner.
Assess the performance of the products in real-world conditions.
Find product defects and undetected safety problems,
Continuously update the risk-benefit assessment, and
Quickly initiate necessary actions such as recalls.

To achieve the goals, you are challenged with the active and systematic collection of safety and performance related information on your and similar products. This information can come from different sources. Feel free to contact us for the integration of internal and external data sources!

Your information gathering concerns

Information about serious incidents
Information on safety corrective actions
Incident records
Adverse event data
Trend reports
Information from literature, databases or registries
Information from users, distributors and importers, including feedback and complaints.

The breadth of information gathering shows how comprehensive the sources of information are. This requires support of the processes for data collection and versioned compilation.

Talk to us about your requirements for data collection and for establishing the uniqueness of data for your reporting!

What does this mean for the building materials industry? - Suppliers must provide BIM data for their building materials in order to be present on building material portals.

What is BIM?

BIM is a methodology designed to enhance the planning, execution, and management of buildings and other structures through the use of software.

It involves the digital recording and integration of all relevant building data.
BIM creates a synchronized database that connects all processes and sub-aspects and can be accessed by all project participants.
BIM enables a comparison system for building materials and thus supports planners and purchasers in the selection process.
All information is transparently networked and effects of a change on all other sub-areas become visible in real time.

In other words, BIM ensures that all relevant information is available at the right time with current content, covering every stage of the structure's lifecycle.

Why BIM?

The aim of BIM is to make construction projects transparent, allowing schedules, costs and risks to be determined and optimized earlier and more precisely.

BIM with Noxum PIM

Noxum supports you as a construction supplier. Our software is BIM-capable - this allows you to set up the basic data structure, record all construction-relevant product data and form an important building block for your presence on BIM portals.

How Festool Leverages NovaDB: Interview with Product Manager Ulrich Klingeberg

New times in product communication in e-commerce

NovaDB supports minute-by-minute updates and real-time content delivery to display accurate information at all times

In the dynamic marketplace and online shopping, Festool, manufacturer of premium power tools, is at a crucial turning point. With the transition to a digital-first strategy and the expansion into the direct-to-customer (D2C) market through the Festool online store, the question arises: How can efficient and agile product data management be achieved that also enables fast online portal updates via high-performance data delivery? This project presents the solution from Noxum, Festool's long-standing partner, in which NovaDB is used as a data hub and data management solution.

Portal updates in minutes with NovaDB

The customer

Festool, a family-owned company with 24 national companies and over 3000 employees, pursues the goal of making professional craftsmen successful and proud. The focus is on the customer. The challenges in this dynamic market are manifold, in addition to supply bottlenecks and a change in communication. The modern customer expects an \"always-on\" mentality, which has prompted Festool to develop a future-oriented e-commerce strategy. This strategy includes the decision to operate its own e-commerce store, while at the same time maintaining close contact and strengthening the traditionally very good relationship with specialist dealers is of great importance. Festool attaches particular importance to getting to know its customers better through direct contact and learning more about the decision-making processes involved in purchasing. At the same time, it is a declared goal to strengthen the specialist trade as a competent consulting partner and to maintain it as an important multiplier.

Advantages for Festool

Full access to all PIM data
Efficient preparation of data for all channels
Perfect control of content
Acceleration of portal updates

How the specialist trade is transforming - effects and opportunities for Festool marketing

Presentation by Fabian Ertinger, Head of Online Marketing, Festool GmbH at the Noxum Tech Summit 2016

TTS Tooltechnic Systems has implemented a holistic multi-channel marketing solution with its premium brand Festool and Schneider airsystems. Noxum GmbH was commissioned with the complete replacement of the existing systems.

In 2014, Noxum replaced the existing systems, which had been expanded over twelve years and were deeply integrated into all marketing and publishing processes. Since then, Noxum's PIM, MAM and content management system has established itself as a multi-channel marketing tool that is used to create electronic product catalogs and marketing materials, for example.

Case Study Festool

Presentation by Fabian Ertinger, Head of Online Marketing, Festool GmbH

TTS Tooltechnic Systems has implemented a multichannel marketing solution with its Festool brand and Schneider airsystems and commissioned Noxum to do so.

The following case study provides an overview of the company Festool GmbH and the migration project \"Replacement Mediando\" and the integration of a holistic multichannel marketing solution consisting of PIM, MAM and editorial system with Noxum GmbH.

The main contents are the project modules from the evaluation phase to the implementation and the achievement of highly efficient marketing output on numerous classic and new media channels.

Introduction of the PIM, MAM and content management system at Festool

Technical presentation at the tekom annual conference 2015 by Fabian Ertinger, Festool GmbH, Wendlingen

TTS Tooltechnic Systems has implemented a holistic multi-channel marketing solution with its premium brand Festool and Schneider airsystems and commissioned Noxum GmbH with the technical relaunch. The implementation of the PIM and content management system and the go-live of Noxum MAM Online and Noxum PIM Online were successfully completed.

The introduction of the PIM, MAM and content management system from Noxum has replaced the Mediando PIM system and mediacockpit from the DAM Group at Festool. Existing third-party systems continue to be supported and simplifications to processes and the existing application landscape were explicitly desired.

The specialist presentation presents the migration project and the challenges and opportunities. Experts will gain an overview of a holistic multi-channel marketing solution with PIM, MAM, CMS and collaboration tools for a globally active industrial user company. It becomes clear that replacing such a deeply networked PIM system requires a company-wide overview of business and technical processes as well as the existing application landscape.

Success Story NürnbergMesse SelfService in the exhibitor area powered by NovaDB

NürnbergMesse Group is pushing ahead with the gradual expansion of real trade fair events with additional digital products and services for exhibitors, suppliers and visitors. In line with the motto \"before the exhibition is after the exhibition\", exhibitors should have the opportunity to present themselves to visitors and make contact 24/7. To do this, you need an up-to-date, well-maintained profile with product data and services. Visitors should also be able to meet and exchange information online throughout the year.

In future, NürnbergMesse will support the expansion of its offering with the SelfService for exhibitors, thus relieving its service agency of the burden of data entry: exhibitors and suppliers can enter their company and product data 24/7 conveniently, quickly, easily and intuitively, and keep the data up to date and complete themselves.

Quick to market - SelfService as a minimum viable product (MVP)

The project team developed the self-service as an MVP into a tangible product with its core functions in just a few weeks. NovaDB was used as a data hub, for data enrichment and as a maintenance client for the realization of the MVP.

Service
Exhibitors can maintain their data 24/7.
Brand maintenance
The data can be used for different brands and trade fairs without having to maintain them multiple times.
Efficiency
Release processes and communication costs are significantly reduced.
Cost savings
The service agency is largely relieved of pure data transfer.

What is PIM?

Product information management, or PIM, involves the collection, maintenance and processing of product data and its provision for various output channels or media. A PIM system provides a central location for collecting, managing and enriching product information, creating a product catalog and distributing it to sales and e-commerce channels. PIM systems facilitate the creation and delivery of compelling product experiences. They manage all types of data related to your products, including technical data, usage data and emotional data. PIM systems can collect raw data from various systems, import data via CSV and XLSX files, input product data directly from suppliers and connect to DAM systems for images, videos and documents.

Advantages of PIM systems

PIM systems enable everyone involved to prepare products for sale on time and on budget. They can improve data quality, shorten time to market, increase conversions, boost productivity and reduce returns. The advantage of a PIM tool lies in the centralized management of data, which forms the basis for more efficient management of product information. Once in the system, the products are organized in a media-neutral structure and enriched with additional information such as descriptive texts and media. The quality of the data is crucial in this phase. Data validation ensures that the minimum requirements for the product description are met.

Data management and integration in PIM systems

PIM systems can classify products into families, categories and channels, measure and track the quality of product data, regulate users with roles and permissions, and manage the completeness and versions of the catalog. They can enrich product descriptions with technical and usage data, link images, videos and documents to the respective product and use a rules engine for the automatic enrichment of standardized attributes. PIM systems can localize and translate product information for each market and region, manage catalogs for each sales channel in a single system, select channel-specific attributes for each channel and consolidate all online and print channels via API-based connectors.

PIM systems and business transformation

PIM software prepares your company for digital transformation and lays the foundation for fully utilizing all the possibilities of digital product data management. PIM systems are needed by marketing professionals, product managers, e-commerce experts, sales professionals, IT professionals and CEOs who want to keep an eye on costs while thinking about increasing sales. All product information is in one place without duplicate data storage (single source of truth). The information is stored independently of its destination (catalog or e-commerce system). Efficient data maintenance is ensured by mass processing and search functions.

PIM systems and customer experience

PIM systems can syndicate catalogs to marketplaces and shopping channels that are not their own. They can benefit the entire team, including marketers, CMO and sales, the C-suite and IT. Your customer receives consistent product information across all relevant channels that align with available space. Defined quality gates ensure that only product information of sufficient quality reaches the customer. PIM systems improve the customer experience by providing consistent, accurate and comprehensive product information across all channels.

What is a Headless CMS? Architecture, Features, and How It Works

What is a Headless CMS?

A headless CMS architecture separates back-end content functions such as creation, management and storage from front-end functions such as presentation and delivery. This architecture is the result of the evolution of the relationship between web content and content creation, addressing new content challenges and enabling the creation and management of necessary content for the target audience. Traditional, monolithic content management systems have two components: the front end and the back end. In a headless CMS, however, backend and frontend tasks are separated, allowing developers to code quickly and develop frontend experiences in their preferred language without being slowed down by restrictive backend technologies.

At its core, a headless CMS focuses purely on content management, without worrying about how it will be displayed. Content is structured and stored in a backend system, which provides APIs for content retrieval. These APIs enable seamless integration with various front-end applications such as websites, mobile apps, IoT devices, and digital signage. This gives businesses the ability to create and deliver content across multiple channels without being restricted by a fixed layout or presentation method.

Comparison: Headless CMS vs Traditional CMS

To better understand the concept, it's important to compare a headless CMS with a traditional (monolithic) CMS. In a traditional CMS, content and presentation are tightly coupled, meaning the same system controls both content creation and its display. This makes multi-channel content delivery complex, as each new platform requires additional customization or workarounds. This structure can limit flexibility and require significant manual work to adapt content for mobile, web, and other devices.

In contrast, a headless CMS allows businesses to focus solely on content, without worrying about its presentation. It enables content to be served via APIs to various platforms, allowing a consistent and flexible user experience across different channels, from websites and apps to smart devices and voice assistants.

Why 'Headless'?

The term 'headless' originates from software architecture principles and describes a system where the presentation layer (the 'head') is removed from the content management backend (the 'body'). This separation enables content to be delivered dynamically via APIs to any front-end application, allowing businesses to create personalized and flexible digital experiences - without the constraints of a monolithic system. Essentially, the content becomes \"headless\" because it no longer relies on a specific front-end interface to be meaningful or functional. This enables organizations to deliver dynamic, tailored content to a broader audience, whether through websites, mobile applications, or emerging technologies like voice assistants and digital signage.

How Does a Headless CMS Work?

The fundamental principle of a headless CMS revolves around an API-first approach. An API (Application Programming Interface) is the bridge that allows the back-end system to communicate with different front-end systems, delivering content seamlessly across multiple touchpoints.

In a headless CMS, content is stored and managed in a centralized back-end repository. When the content needs to be displayed, the front-end system requests the relevant data through the API, which serves up the content in the requested format. This method ensures that content is delivered consistently and flexibly, regardless of the front-end system in use. A Headless CMS serves as a structured content repository that allows front-end systems to request and retrieve content via APIs. Instead of pushing content actively, the API-driven approach enables on-demand access, ensuring seamless and flexible content delivery across multiple platforms, whether it’s a website, a mobile app, or even a voice interface..

This decoupled architecture makes a headless CMS particularly appealing for businesses that want to scale their digital presence across multiple platforms and touchpoints without having to repeatedly rework the back-end system for each new front-end interface. By focusing solely on content and utilizing APIs for delivery, businesses can maintain a unified content strategy while delivering personalized, engaging experiences for their customers.

Features of a Headless CMS

A Headless Content Management System (CMS) is designed to offer flexibility, scalability, and efficiency, especially for businesses looking to scale their content management across multiple platforms and channels. Below is a comprehensive list of key features of a headless CMS:

API-First Architecture

The defining feature of a headless CMS is its API-first architecture. This approach means that the system is designed to deliver content through APIs, rather than being tied to a specific front-end presentation layer. The API-first approach ensures that content is not tied to a specific presentation layer. Using REST or GraphQL APIs, front-end applications can query and retrieve structured content efficiently. This approach allows businesses to distribute content seamlessly across web, mobile, smart devices, and emerging platforms like AR/VR. APIs ensure that the content can be delivered in real-time, making the system more dynamic and responsive.

Content Delivery Across Multiple Channels

Headless CMS platforms enable true omnichannel content distribution. Whether it's a website, mobile app, digital signage, or voice interface, the headless CMS allows businesses to create content once and distribute it everywhere. This multi-channel flexibility allows businesses to maintain consistent branding and messaging while tailoring the user experience for different platforms, ensuring a consistent brand experience.

Decoupled Front-End and Back-End

In a headless CMS, the back-end (where content is managed) is decoupled from the front-end (the presentation layer). This separation offers unparalleled flexibility as businesses can choose any front-end technology (e.g., React, Angular, or Vue) to display the content. The decoupling allows for easier updates to the content without disrupting the user interface, providing the flexibility to make changes on one side without affecting the other. It also supports faster development cycles since updates to the presentation layer can be made independently of the content layer.

Customizable Content Models

Headless CMS platforms offer customizable content models that allow businesses to define how content is structured and organized. Unlike traditional CMS platforms, which often come with predefined templates or rigid content structures, a headless CMS lets users create custom content types based on their specific needs. Whether it's blog posts, product listings, or multimedia content, businesses can define their own fields and taxonomies to ensure that the content is aligned with their unique requirements and workflows.

Scalability

One of the primary advantages of a headless CMS is its scalability. Since the front-end and back-end are decoupled, businesses can scale their infrastructure independently to meet growing demand. The API-driven architecture allows easy integration with third-party services and tools, and as traffic grows, businesses can increase their resources accordingly without disrupting operations. This scalability is particularly advantageous for businesses expanding across different regions or platforms.

Content Personalization

A headless CMS offers powerful personalization capabilities, enabling businesses to tailor content based on user behavior, location, preferences, and demographics. With APIs delivering data across multiple channels, businesses can push personalized content to each user, creating a more engaging and relevant experience. Personalization is crucial for modern businesses that want to stay competitive and meet the expectations of their users in an increasingly digital world.

Omnichannel Experience

By decoupling content from the front-end display, a headless CMS enables an omnichannel approach. This means businesses can create and manage content in one central place and then push it to various platforms, devices, and channels, including websites, mobile apps, social media platforms, IoT devices, and more. The omnichannel feature ensures a consistent brand experience across all touchpoints while allowing for flexibility in how the content is presented based on each platform's unique requirements.

Multi-Language and Multi-Region Support

Many headless CMS platforms come with built-in capabilities for handling multi-language and multi-region content. Businesses operating in diverse global markets can easily create localized content for different languages, regions, or cultural preferences. With a headless CMS, it's easy to update content in one place and push it across all regional versions of the site, ensuring that users receive relevant and localized content, regardless of their location.

Faster Load Times and Performance

Headless CMS platforms are optimized for performance, as they allow businesses to deliver content efficiently through APIs. Since the content is delivered independently from the front-end layer, it reduces the complexity and the time required to render a page, resulting in faster load times. This is especially important for user experience and SEO, as faster websites tend to rank better and retain users for longer periods.

Enhanced Security

Since a headless CMS decouples the content management and delivery processes, security can be better controlled. With only the API being exposed to the front-end systems, businesses can implement more robust security measures, such as access control and data encryption, at the API layer. This reduces vulnerabilities and ensures that only authorized users or systems can access the content. Additionally, the decoupled architecture allows for more precise permission management, so different users can have tailored access rights based on their roles. However, since APIs are a key access point, businesses should also implement safeguards like usage limits, activity monitoring, and protective filters to prevent potential threats, such as unauthorized data access or excessive requests. With the right security measures in place, a headless CMS provides a strong foundation for protecting digital content.

Integration with Other Tools and Services

A headless CMS integrates seamlessly with other systems, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), e-commerce platforms, and marketing automation tools. These integrations make it easier for businesses to connect their content management systems with existing business processes, enhancing workflows, and ensuring consistency across various departments. APIs facilitate smooth data sharing between the CMS and these integrated systems, allowing for a more cohesive and streamlined experience.

Developer-Friendly

The flexibility and API-first nature of a headless CMS make it particularly appealing to developers. With a headless CMS, developers have the freedom to choose their preferred front-end technology stack, whether it’s modern frameworks like React or Angular, or more traditional ones. This flexibility allows developers to work in a familiar environment and optimize the content delivery process according to their needs. Additionally, many headless CMS platforms come with built-in developer tools like SDKs and comprehensive documentation, making it easier to get started and manage complex integrations.

Cloud-Based Architecture

Most headless CMS platforms are cloud-based, offering businesses the advantage of accessibility, remote collaboration, and easy scalability. With cloud-based solutions, businesses don’t need to worry about infrastructure management, as the service provider handles the heavy lifting. Cloud-based headless CMS platforms are also typically more cost-effective, as they offer pay-as-you-go pricing and eliminate the need for on-premises hardware.

Version Control and Content Auditing

Another essential feature of headless CMS platforms is content version control and auditing. Businesses can track the history of content updates, allowing for better oversight and accountability. If any issues arise, teams can revert to previous versions of content quickly, minimizing disruptions to the user experience. This feature is particularly useful for teams that handle large volumes of content and need to maintain consistency and quality control over time.

Role in Modern Web Development

In modern web development, a headless CMS plays a pivotal role in empowering developers to build highly flexible, scalable, and dynamic digital experiences. The separation between the back-end content management and the front-end presentation enables developers to use the best tools and technologies for each part of the process. Whether developers are using React, Angular, Vue, or any other front-end framework, they can pull content seamlessly from the headless CMS via APIs, allowing for a clean, performant, and custom-built solution tailored to their project's needs.

The Role of APIs in Headless CMS

API-first CMSs are similar to headless CMSs in that they also do not have a standard front end. Developers have the ability to create as many delivery layers as needed to deliver content in all new channels. The second core of a headless CMS are the interfaces, the APIs (often referred to as REST API or RESTful API). This is why headless CMS are also called \"API-first CMS\". The CMS can not only distribute content via the API, but also retrieve data or content from other systems, such as product databases or digital asset management systems. A headless CMS can connect any number of channels via APIs and supply them with content. Modern channels such as wearables or IoT devices are also compatible.

Advantages for Developers

Flexibility in Technology Choices

Developers are not limited to a specific front-end framework or content management system. With a headless CMS, they can use modern web development frameworks and languages of their choice, ensuring they are not restricted by legacy systems.

Streamlined Development Process

The decoupled nature of headless CMS allows front-end and back-end teams to work independently, speeding up development cycles. Additionally, developers can easily integrate third-party tools and platforms, creating a more efficient development environment.

API Integration

The API-first approach of a headless CMS makes it simple to integrate content with other systems, such as e-commerce platforms, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and marketing automation tools. Developers can also leverage APIs for real-time content updates, enhancing user engagement.

Headless CMS Architecture

Technical Overview

Headless CMS is an architecture where the content management and content delivery layers are decoupled. The 'head' (the front-end) is separated from the 'body' (the back-end), allowing developers to deliver content across multiple platforms and devices without being tied to a specific display format. Instead of controlling how the content is presented, the headless CMS focuses solely on storing and managing content, which can then be accessed via APIs.

Key Components

Content Repository: Stores structured content, typically using a database, that can be accessed through APIs.
Content API: Provides access to the content, enabling different platforms to retrieve and display it as needed.
Admin Interface: A user-friendly platform where content creators and editors can manage content.
Front-end: The presentation layer, which could be any technology or platform, as it's not limited to a specific templating engine.

Benefits of the Architecture

Decoupled Nature: Separating the front-end from the back-end means developers can build the presentation layer with any framework, ensuring flexibility in design and functionality.
Adaptability: As digital ecosystems evolve, headless CMS can easily integrate with new technologies and platforms, making it easier to scale content across diverse channels.
Future-proofing: The flexibility of a headless CMS allows businesses to remain adaptable in a rapidly changing digital landscape, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Headless CMS in Development

Role in Modern Web Development

In today’s web development landscape, a headless CMS plays a crucial role by enabling developers to create omnichannel experiences. With an increasing need for websites, mobile apps, and IoT devices to access the same content, a headless CMS offers an efficient and flexible solution. It allows developers to focus on delivering personalized content to various platforms without worrying about integrating different content management systems for each one.

Advantages for Developers

Developers benefit from a headless CMS due to its flexibility and ability to work with multiple programming languages and frameworks. The decoupled nature allows developers to innovate with front-end technologies like React, Vue.js, or Angular while seamlessly pulling content from the CMS. Additionally, the structured content management provided by headless CMS improves workflows and simplifies maintenance.

Benefits of Using a Headless CMS

We delve deeper into the specific benefits of headless CMS in this article. However, the key advantages of a headless CMS are:

Improved Flexibility in terms of presentation and scalability.
Enhanced Speed and Performance by optimizing content delivery across multiple platforms.
Streamlined Workflow for developers and content creators alike.
Better User Experience across various digital channels.

The Advantages of Headless CMS for Multichannel Marketing

Headless CMS allows content to be created once and then published everywhere, reducing administration time and providing more effective, consistent experiences. They are technically very flexible and efficient. You can create unified digital experiences for customers across all channels and conduct omnichannel marketing. In a headless CMS, marketers can create content once and centrally (content hub). The content is then reused on all channels. There is no need to create or copy content multiple times and manage it side by side in multiple systems. The headless CMS is connected to all digital channels - i.e. all digital touchpoints - via the API. It not only supplies them with content, but can also collect data from all touchpoints.

The Role of Headless CMS in Digital Transformation

The increasing spread of IoT devices requires a headless CMS. Headless is therefore the key to IoT marketing. A headless content management system is a CMS that only has a backend, but no frontend (head). It is suitable for the centralized management of content for various channels such as websites, apps, online stores and POS systems. Content managers store individual content in the backend in a structured and unformatted (or format-neutral) form. The content is output to the various channels or front ends via APIs (interfaces). The same content can be customized and designed differently for each frontend.

Is a Headless CMS Right for You?

A headless CMS might be ideal for your project if:

You need to deliver content across multiple channels (web, mobile, IoT).
Your organization follows an omnichannel content strategy.
Your team requires greater control over the front-end development process.
You prioritize scalability and long-term adaptability in your content strategy.
Your website or application relies on dynamic pages with complex data structures.
You require robust integration capabilities with your existing tools and systems.

The Limitations of Headless CMS

Headless CMSs are not a panacea for all content challenges. What you gain in flexibility with this type of content storage, you lose in accessibility. When the CMS is \"decapitated\", there is no longer a way to share customer data between the frontend and backend in real time, which means experiences can't be personalized or content analytics performed. A pure headless CMS offers only rudimentary backend functionality for content authors and marketers. Its function is essentially to be a \"content database\" with interfaces. The headless CMS mainly manages marketing content, i.e. texts and images. For other data such as product data or large amounts of videos, other software solutions are better suited.

The Future of Content Management: Headless CMS

Headless CMS solutions are seen as the future of content management due to the increasing complexity of digital content and content creators, as well as growing user expectations. Brands can improve their content operations and provide a better experience for their customers by integrating structured content and content modeling in a headless CMS. The user experience with a headless CMS is fast, consistent and on-demand, as the client side does not need to communicate with the backend system - it only needs to render the content. Developers are no longer tied to programming languages they are not familiar with in the backend. They can develop user experiences in terms of look and feel and functionality using tools they know and love to use, and then publish the content everywhere using the latest APIs.

Conclusion

Headless CMS is a powerful solution that aligns with the demands of modern web development, offering flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. By separating content management from content delivery, it empowers developers to create versatile and future-proof digital experiences. If your organization is ready to embrace omnichannel strategies, a headless CMS could be the right fit to meet your needs.

Content Management Meets Product Data Management: CMS & PIM in One Platform

As a product information manager, NovaDB enables the structured maintenance, versioning and media-neutral provision of product data. The close connection between CMS and PIM results in lean workflows, consistent content and faster time-to-market times.

The result: More efficient processes, less maintenance and a clear competitive advantage in all digital channels.

NovaDB Headless CMS Features

NovaDB Visual Editor

Intuitive content creation with the first-class NovaDB Visual Editor

The intuitive interface of the NovaDB Visual Editor has been specifically designed for marketers and content creators to simplify the process of content creation and editing. With the visual editor, content modules such as images, videos, and text can be placed and flexibly rearranged using drag-and-drop.

A WYSIWYG editing experience is embedded directly in the NovaDB Visual Editor, allowing elements to be edited directly on the page. A preview view enables content to be reviewed before publication, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Thanks to the omnichannel capabilities of the NovaDB CMS, content can be delivered consistently across multiple channels without needing to be created separately for each one.

The visual editor offers reusable components, enabling faster creation of landing pages and campaigns without having to build content from scratch each time.

Collaboration in NovaDB Headless CMS

The comment function in NovaDB enables direct and transparent collaboration. Users can add, edit, and delete comments in the \"Discussion\" tab on any content module. With the @Mention function, specific users can be tagged, ensuring they receive a notification and can respond promptly.

All comments are visible in the \"Discussion\" tab, providing clear and traceable communication. Users can edit or delete their own comments at any time. A confirmation dialog prevents accidental deletions, while a timestamped note remains after a comment is removed.

Role-based access controls determine who can view, add, or edit comments. This function enhances teamwork, promotes structured communication, and reduces misunderstandings—without the need for external communication tools

Notification system in NovaDB

The notification system in NovaDB ensures users stay informed about important updates and interactions. Notifications appear in the system's notification center and alert users to various events, such as completed jobs, new comments, or mentions in discussions. These alerts help streamline workflows by providing direct links to relevant content, enabling users to respond efficiently. Role-based access controls allow for tailored notification settings, ensuring that users only receive relevant information, thus improving collaboration and reducing unnecessary distractions.

When a user is mentioned with @username, they receive a notification that alerts them to the comment. These notifications appear in the system's notification center, ensuring that important discussions are not overlooked.

Customize Search Filters

With customizable search filters in NovaDB, search queries for content modules can be precisely refined to deliver exactly the desired results. Users can individually define which filters are available, adjust them, and further refine their search using comparison operators such as \"equals,\" \"contains,\" or \"greater than.\"

The advantage: By flexibly customizing the search, editorial teams save time and gain exactly the information they need.

With customizable list columns in NovaDB, users can tailor the display of search results to show only the information relevant to them. The column customization feature allows users to show or hide columns, rearrange them via drag & drop, and adjust their width. Additionally, data can be sorted by clicking on column headers. This flexibility enhances search clarity and improves overall efficiency.

Change history

With the change history in NovaDB, all modifications to content and product data remain fully traceable at all times. Changes are transparently documented and can be viewed directly in the History Tab, where details such as the timestamp, responsible user, and specific modifications are clearly displayed.

Thanks to versioning, previous changes can be easily compared—whether with the latest version, the previous modification, or the original content. Filter options also allow targeted searches for specific changes or users. These features enhance transparency, streamline collaboration, and ensure that all adjustments remain traceable at any time.

Multi-Language Support in NovaDB

NovaDB provides efficient language management to optimize content for international markets, streamlining multilingual content management, reducing manual work, and ensuring consistent brand communication across all markets.

Centralized control of all language versions: Create content once and manage multiple languages efficiently.
Flexible translation workflows: Parallel processing in separate work packages without affecting the main content.
Language and variant management: Adapt product names, prices, or campaign content for different regions.
Fast multi-channel publishing: Seamless distribution across websites, shops, and social media.
Scalable internationalization: Easily expand into new languages without additional effort.

Efficient data management through inheritance

Inheritance is a principle in which properties or values are transferred from superordinate to subordinate units. This allows structures to be organised efficiently, redundancies to be avoided and changes to be controlled centrally.

One example is the allocation of discounts for different markets: a company defines a general discount strategy that applies to all markets. However, individual markets can make specific adjustments, such as higher discounts for certain regions. If the basic discount changes, the adjustment is automatically adopted - individual deviations are retained. This principle ensures consistency and flexibility in the management of company data.

NovaDB Headless CMS: Developer-Focused Features

API-First Architecture

NovaDB Headless CMS is built on the MACH architecture (Microservices, API-First, Cloud-native, Headless). This ensures seamless integration and content delivery to any system that supports RESTful APIs. Both RESTful and GraphQL APIs are supported, enabling fast and easy data access.

High-Performance Content Delivery

API-first design, CDNs, caching, and scalable cloud infrastructure ensure content is delivered quickly and reliably, with optimizations for high performance.

Scalable Infrastructure

Real-time scaling to meet growing demands, with auto-scaling systems monitoring load and dynamically adjusting resources, using containerization for additional flexibility.

Decoupled Frontend and Backend

Having the front end and back end in two separate environments offers numerous benefits. Any updates or changes to one system will not affect the other. The decoupled backend helps in building additional user-facing solutions such as mobile apps, web stores, and POS systems without needing to create separate content sources for each solution.

Advanced Content Structuring

NovaDB allows users to create advanced content structures and hierarchies. Unlike traditional CMS solutions with predefined structures, NovaDB offers the flexibility to define your own content structure. It also includes an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to create the most advanced information silos.

Security and Compliance

NovaDB ensures your data is secure and compliant with various standards. It provides data encryption, role-based access control, vulnerability monitoring, and secure RESTful APIs. Supported standards include ETIM, ECLASS, BMEcat, and UNSPSC for data classification. We participate in the TISAX programme and are ISO27001 certified.

In a remarkably short period of just six weeks, PFENNIG Reinigungstechnik GmbH, a leading provider in the cleaning industry, has introduced the NovaDB product information management system. This strategic decision was made in response to the increased requirements for digital product presentation and search on their website. The rapid and successful implementation and configuration of NovaDB has enabled centralized and efficient management and updating of product information, resulting in improved customer interaction on the website. This case report illustrates how NovaDB provides customized solutions without extensive customization or development work. It also highlights the system's ability to seamlessly adapt and grow with PFENNIG's business processes and continuously evolve.

Initial situation

PFENNIG Reinigungstechnik GmbH, an innovative family business with an established presence in the cleaning technology sector since 1974, decided to redesign its website. A central aspect of this redesign was to present the products in an appealing and clear way for their B2B customers and to enable an efficient product search. The tight deadlines for the relaunch required a fast and reliable solution for managing the product data. The decision to implement a product information management system (PIM) was based on the need to speed up product data provision, ensure efficient translation processes and traceability.

Decision for NovaDB PIM from Noxum GmbH

In cooperation with PFENNIG Reinigungstechnik GmbH and the consulting firm Inbeso Consulting GmbH, NovaDB was selected as the appropriate PIM system. NovaDB immediately met almost all requirements without the need for complex programming. The PIM system met their requirements for easy updating of data and information, traceability and translation.

Legacy PIM system vs. headless PIM system

Author: Volker Römisch, Senior Software Architect at Noxum

In today's digital business world, the efficient management of product information is essential to remain competitive. Product information management (PIM) systems play a central role in how companies organize, manage and distribute their product data across different sales channels. Providing consistent and accurate product information is not only a technical advantage, but also a strategic advantage that contributes significantly to improving the product experience. An optimized product experience leads to increased customer satisfaction, higher conversion rates and ultimately stronger brand loyalty.

Companies are faced with the choice between two main approaches in the PIM area: the traditional, monolithic PIM system, also known as legacy PIM, and the modern headless PIM system.

Headless PIM systems are PIM systems in which the front end and back end are separated from each other and which follow the API-first approach.

Both approaches have their pros and cons, and choosing the right system can be critical to how well a company meets the growing demands of the market. In this article, we explore the differences between these two approaches and look at which is better suited to meet the needs of modern businesses.

What is a legacy PIM system?

A legacy PIM system is the traditional approach to product information management. This system, also known as a monolithic PIM, integrates all functions into a single, comprehensive application. All components and modules, especially frontend and backend, are closely connected and work as a unit. These systems were developed to bundle all essential product information management functions in a closed system, which gives them a high level of stability and reliability.

Advantages of a legacy PIM system:

Stability and reliability: Due to the tight integration of all functions, a legacy PIM system offers a stable and reliable platform for the management of product information.
Easy implementation: For companies that do not have high demands on flexibility and scalability, a monolithic PIM system can be an uncomplicated solution that combines all the necessary functions in a single platform.
All-in-one solution: As all components are integrated into one system, there is no need for additional effort to integrate and manage different modules.

Challenges of a legacy PIM system:

Limited flexibility: The tight integration of components makes it difficult to adapt the system to specific business requirements. Changes or extensions often require extensive development work, which leads to long development cycles.
Difficult scalability: Since the entire system functions as a single unit, the entire platform must be scaled, even if only a sub-area requires more performance. This can be inefficient and expensive.
Technical debt: Legacy systems are often based on older technologies that lose relevance over time. Maintaining and updating such systems can be difficult and costly, limiting the company's ability to innovate.
Difficult integration: One challenge of legacy systems is connecting to other systems, often due to the weaker focus on APIs. As there are no standard interfaces, this integration often has to be developed individually, which is time-consuming and costly.

What makes a modern headless PIM system?

A modern headless PIM system is a flexible solution for product information management that is designed to offer companies greater adaptability and scalability. In contrast to legacy PIM systems, they are often based on the MACH architecture, which stands for microservices, API-first, cloud-native and headless. This architecture enables companies to develop highly scalable and flexible systems consisting of independent microservices. Each microservice fulfills a specific function and can be scaled or updated independently of each other.

The API-first approach, one of the most concise differentiators, ensures seamless communication between the microservices and enables easy integration of third-party providers. The cloud-native component ensures that the system runs on modern cloud platforms, which increases scalability and availability. Finally, the headless structure separates the backend from the user interface, allowing companies to develop customized frontends for different channels.

Advantages of a headless PIM system:

Flexibility and modularity: By separating the front end and back end, companies can develop customized user interfaces for different channels such as web stores, mobile apps, online marketplaces and maintenance interfaces without having to make any changes to the back end.
Scalability: Thanks to the modular structure, companies can easily expand their systems and adapt them to changing business requirements. This makes it possible to scale and adapt individual components independently of each other.

API-first architecture: A modern PIM system uses an API-first architecture that enables seamless integration with other systems and tools. This makes it easier to adapt to new technologies and the existing infrastructure can be expanded efficiently.
Agility and innovation: The decoupled structure of headless PIM systems enables companies to react more quickly to market changes and integrate new technologies such as AI. The front end and back end can be developed independently of each other, which shortens development cycles and reduces the time to market for new functions.

Downstream of a headless PIM system

Technical requirements: Headless PIM systems require a certain level of technical expertise, particularly in dealing with APIs and modern cloud architectures. Companies should be prepared to invest in the appropriate training and possibly additional technical support.
More complex management: Managing the various components of a headless PIM system can be a little more involved, as multiple microservices and APIs need to be coordinated. However, with the right planning and system administration, this challenge can be easily overcome.

Lack of an all-in-one solution: As headless systems are modular, they often lack the all-in-one convenience of a legacy PIM. Companies have to get used to the integration of different components, but these offer greater flexibility. There are software manufacturers who offer additional modules that enable a modular, quasi all-in-one solution. These modules are designed to work together seamlessly and combine the benefits of modularity with the convenience of an integrated solution

Example from practice

A practical example of the use of a headless PIM system is a retail company that operates both a web store and a mobile app. With a headless PIM system, the same backend that manages product information, pricing and inventory can serve both front ends. While the development team introduces new functions and a modern design for the mobile app, the web team can adapt the user interface of the web store in parallel without having to change the backend or the data structure. Thanks to the API-first architecture, both front ends access the same up-to-date data, which ensures a consistent user experience. This flexibility allows the company to respond more quickly to market trends without downtime or system conflicts.

Result

The decision between a headless PIM and a legacy PIM depends largely on a company's individual requirements and objectives. Legacy PIM systems offer a stable and comprehensive solution that can be particularly suitable for companies with manageable requirements or limited IT resources. These systems are ideal for organizations that prefer an integrated solution that combines all basic functions in one package. However, legacy PIMs often reach their limits as organizations grow and requirements change. They are also often more costly to operate as they incur higher maintenance and infrastructure costs. Implementing new features and updates can also be more complex and expensive with legacy systems.

In contrast, headless PIM systems offer a flexible, scalable and future-proof alternative that enables companies to adapt quickly to a dynamic market environment. Thanks to their modular architecture, companies can expand, integrate and optimize their technology as required. This not only increases the ability to innovate, but also helps to reduce operating costs and increase efficiency.

Another key advantage of headless PIM systems is their ability to significantly improve the product experience. As user interfaces can be developed independently of the backend, companies have the ability to offer personalized and consistent experiences across all channels. At a time when customer expectations are continually rising, this offers a significant competitive advantage.

Conclusion

At a time when adaptability and innovation are becoming increasingly important, headless PIM systems offer many advantages, particularly in terms of flexibility and scalability. They enable companies to respond efficiently to market changes and expand their digital infrastructure in a targeted manner. However, legacy PIM systems still have their place, especially for companies that rely on integrated solutions and have less need for constant customization. Depending on a company's specific requirements and goals, a legacy PIM can provide the stability needed, while a headless PIM is a more modern, future-oriented option. Companies should carefully consider both approaches to find the solution that best fits their long-term strategy.

Release of NovaDB 4.3

Smart optimizations for smart processes

With the new NovaDB release, Noxum brings targeted improvements that accelerate the workflow: An extended Kanban board, simplified authorization management and optimized display of metadata from external files such as images or PDFs facilitate daily use and increase productivity.

Würzburg, September 2, 2024 - Noxum GmbH, a leading provider of information management systems, presents the latest update of its innovative NovaDB platform. The latest release brings a variety of smart optimizations aimed at accelerating work processes and making everyday work even more productive.

This update of NovaDB focuses in particular on increasing efficiency in the management and processing of data and workflows. The enhancements, such as the extended Kanban board and the intuitive operation of rights assignment, make the handling of tasks and authorizations particularly intuitive and flexible - exactly what modern companies need.

Optimizations that make the difference

The revision of the Kanban board offers users new functions and enables work processes to be carried out directly on the board. With just a few clicks, new tasks can be created, objects can be edited en masse or processes can be started. This simplification reduces the need to switch between different interfaces and saves time.

Another highlight is the simplified management of authorizations. Thanks to the new \"All NovaDB users\" group, the effort involved in rights management is noticeably more intuitive without compromising security. This is particularly valuable for companies with a large number of users and complex authorization structures.

Users also benefit from an improved display of metadata from external files and an optimized user interface for icons, tree structures and thumbnails. These details make working with NovaDB particularly efficient and pleasant.

For a smooth workflow - today and tomorrow

The update also addresses the need to integrate processes seamlessly into everyday work. The improved display and orientation in the job logs enables better tracking of ongoing tasks. This allows companies to focus on the essentials and complete projects more efficiently.

With this release, Noxum once again proves that it responds to the needs of its customers and provides the tools that modern companies need for smooth operations.

TRUMPF, a global leader in the production of machine tools and laser technology, is constantly faced with the challenge of optimizing its customers‘ production processes and increasing the efficiency of internal development processes. Human-machine interfaces (HMI), i.e. the interfaces for communication between man and machine, are one element of this. In particular, the management and translation of error messages communicated via the user interfaces are crucial for rapid problem resolution and maintaining production processes.

TRUMPF was now reaching the limits of its existing solution: The management of error messages was cumbersome and the translation process for the globally distributed production sites was inefficient. In view of the challenges posed by the limitations of the previous system solution, the company decided to explore an efficient alternative. The priority was to find a solution that would not only improve user-friendliness, but also optimize the translation and distribution processes for error messages. Considering cost and time savings, TRUMPF did not pursue a specific in-house development, but instead sought a modern standard software that could meet their complex requirements without extensive customization. The choice fell on NovaDB from Noxum, a system that is tailored to TRUMPF‘s needs with its tailor-made functions and customization options.

PIM vs. ERP: Difference and How They Work Together

Many companies that already use an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system often ask themselves the question: \"Why should I also invest in a Product Information Management (PIM) system?\" This question arises because ERP systems could also map product information as a central platform for managing master data such as article numbers. However, ERP systems are not designed to manage complex product information such as technical data or marketing content. Customizations to integrate these functions would often be too expensive, inflexible and time-consuming. A PIM system, on the other hand, offers a central database for the entire company, which ensures that uniform product data is available and that all authorized individuals can access this information.

The separation of the two areas is particularly important as companies should only grant access to ERP systems to a small number of people in order to protect business-critical data. The PIM system, on the other hand, must be accessible to many people from different areas, as the PIM data should be known throughout the company and, if necessary, published on the website.

PIM Explained

A Product Information Management (PIM) system helps in centralizing product data. It acts as a single source of truth for all product -related information. This data can be distributed and accessed via various channels such as websites, mobile apps, catalogues and more.

ERP Explained

ERP has a broader objective as it is integrated into various departments and processes within a company, including but not limited to product data management. ERPs are used to create processes and workflows across an organization. Some organizations use ERP for storing product information, but they are not optimized for managing complex product data.

PIM vs ERP: Key Differences

Some major differences between PIM and ERP are:

Purpose

A PIM system is specifically built for managing and enriching product data, thereby making it the ideal solution for the same. Its data structure, workflows, and features are tailored to centrally maintain product data and efficiently distribute it across multiple channels.

Whereas ERP systems serve as a central platform for managing business resources, including finance, procurement, manufacturing, and human resources. Product data is only a small part of ERP systems and is not as comprehensive as a dedicated PIM system.

End users

PIM systems are usually handled by teams directly involved with products, such as product managers, marketing teams, e-commerce specialists, sales department, etc.

ERP systems are used by Finance, HR, operations, procurement and any other team that depends on such a system. Typically, ERP users rely on enterprise-wide data for operational purposes.

Data

PIM system holds product data such as technical specifications, marketing materials, creative assets, structured catalog information, etc. It helps organizations provide high-quality product data across various formats and channels.

ERP holds comprehensive business and operational data, such as financial records, inventory levels, supply chain information, and production planning.

Integration

PIM systems are usually integrated with marketing and commerce channels, online marketplaces, content management systems (CMS), and print publishing solutions to ensure consistent product information delivery across all sales channels. Whereas ERP systems are integrated with accounting tools, supply chain, back-office applications and other operations related systems.

Can ERP and PIM Work Together?

While the ERP system is geared towards managing master data such as article numbers, prices, stocks and transaction data such as orders and stock movements, a PIM system focuses on managing technical data and marketing content such as product descriptions, specifications and media content. Instead of viewing PIM and ERP as competing systems, they should therefore be seen as solutions that complement each other perfectly. The interaction of the two systems enables a clear separation of tasks and ensures that product-related information and information on the ordering and delivery process is managed consistently and efficiently.

The main advantages of integrating PIM and ERP are explained in more detail below.

The Complementary Nature of PIM and ERP

ERP systems focus on managing master data such as stocks, prices and article numbers as well as business transactions such as orders and deliveries. PIM systems, on the other hand, manage complex product data and marketing content. Both systems work in a complementary way and complement each other in their specific areas of responsibility.

Clearly define which data is stored in each system

A clear separation of responsibilities for data management is essential: article numbers and master data should always be generated and maintained in the ERP system, while technical data and marketing information are organized in the PIM system. This reduces the risk of errors.

Advantages of integrating PIM and ERP

Data consistency and uniform data source:

The integration of PIM and ERP creates a uniform and central source for all product information. This ensures that all departments and sales channels work with the same, up-to-date data and inconsistencies are avoided. For example, a change to the product description in the PIM system can automatically update all relevant sales channels without the need for manual corrections in different systems.

Error reduction and increased efficiency:

The synchronization between PIM and ERP takes place in defined processes, which reduces manual data entry and improves the accuracy of the data. Imagine a new item is created in the ERP - this process is automatically transferred to the PIM system so that technical data and marketing content can be easily added.

Process automation and resource-efficient product data management:

Many manual processes can be made more efficient. Selected changes made in the PIM can be transferred to the ERP in defined processes or after approval, and vice versa. This significantly reduces the administrative burden and enables companies to use their resources more efficiently while maintaining data consistency between the systems.

Data update and synchronization:

One example here is the synchronization of new products between ERP and PIM. When a new item is created in ERP, the basic master data is managed in ERP, while PIM adds the technical data and marketing information. This synchronization takes place in defined processes or time-controlled workflows to ensure that all relevant sales channels can access the latest information without unnecessarily overloading the systems. Depending on requirements, data can be manually checked or approved before it is synchronized between the systems.

Faster time to market and faster product updates:

An integrated system enables companies to bring products to market faster. Changes made in the PIM can be propagated to relevant systems and channels according to defined processes or approvals, enabling controlled and accelerated product updates. This is particularly beneficial where product information changes frequently and needs to be adapted quickly. The integration ensures that all important information is available in the right places in a timely manner without losing control.

Flexibility in adapting to the market:

While an ERP system acts as a central management system that controls master data and operational processes such as inventory, finance and order processing, a PIM offers the flexibility required to efficiently distribute product-related information such as technical data, specifications and marketing content across various sales channels. New product variants or changes can be created and specifically adapted in the PIM, while the ERP ensures the smooth management of central business processes. This enables companies to react more quickly to market changes and bring products to market efficiently and consistently.

Conclusion

Summary of the advantages:

The integration of PIM and ERP systems enables companies to future-proof their processes. The clear separation of responsibilities ensures efficient management of product information and supports greater flexibility for market adjustments in the long term.

PIM and ERP: Different worlds remain

It is important to understand that PIM and ERP systems will remain separate worlds in the future, as they each fulfill specific tasks. While ERP systems are optimized for master data and operational processes, the PIM is responsible for managing fine-grained product information, such as technical data and marketing content. Attempts to add PIM functionalities to ERP systems usually result in sluggish and cumbersome systems. Technical specifications and variations belong in the PIM to avoid a bloated ERP system.

The future of PIM-ERP Integration:

Increasing standardization will make the interaction between PIM and ERP easier and smoother in the future. Although there is currently no universal standard interface, the development towards more flexible integration solutions will continue. This will enable companies to utilize the strengths of both systems even more efficiently.

What is Omnichannel Commerce?

Omnichannel commerce represents a cohesive and integrated retail approach that creates a seamless and uniform shopping experience across multiple customer touchpoints. These touchpoints span physical stores, websites, mobile applications, social media platforms, and other online and offline channels. The goal of omnichannel commerce is to ensure that customers experience continuity and consistency in their interactions with a brand, regardless of the platform or method they choose to shop with.

At its core, omnichannel commerce aims to eliminate friction throughout the customer journey. Whether a customer starts their journey on a smartphone, transitions to a physical store, interacts over social media, or completes a transaction through an online checkout, omnichannel strategies ensure that the experience remains smooth, intuitive, and personalized. This approach leverages the strengths of both physical retail spaces and digital shopping to address changing consumer expectations around convenience, personalization, and choice.

Omnichannel commerce is more than just technology or strategy—it reflects a commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences and value across every touchpoint, meeting customers where and how they prefer to shop. By consolidating data from these varied interactions, businesses can gain deeper insights into customer behaviors and preferences, enabling them to predict trends, tailor marketing efforts, and refine operational strategies. Ultimately, this leads to not just customer satisfaction but also operational agility and efficiency for the business.

The strength of omnichannel commerce lies in its ability to connect these multiple channels into a single, smooth system. This connection allows brands to better understand customer journeys, predict purchasing preferences, and streamline operations to align with evolving consumer habits. It creates a frictionless customer journey while also fostering brand loyalty through personalized interactions, real-time engagement, and seamless service across all platforms.

Benefits of Omnichannel Commerce & The Problems it Solves

Better Customer Experience

Omnichannel commerce connects to customers wherever they are and switches seamlessly between channels. Customers may browse on a phone, add to their cart, and close the transaction in-store. Such an experience with less friction enhances customer satisfaction.

Better Collection of Data

Analyzing data from multiple touch points implies that businesses understand what their customers want and do. Richer data allows for more-personalized marketing, thus creating more intimate customer relationships and loyalty.

Increased Loyalty and Retention of Customers

Omnichannel strategy increases loyalty among customers because the shopping experience becomes more convenient and tailored. Channel integration without fragmentation also gives a brand flexibility in terms of the way the customers want to interact with it, hence increasing retention.

Operational Efficiency Enhancement

With the help of omnichannel commerce, inventory management, order processing, and customer care would all become streamlined. Retailers can have stocks in place without problems in different locations and create a robust and cohesive operation that easily transforms with shifting customer demands.

Improved Sales

Research indicates that multi-channel shoppers spend more than those who tend to shop through only one channel. Cross-channel interaction forces customers to spend more frequently and in higher quantities which means improved sales.

Omnichannel Commerce Implementation Strategy

Omnichannel commerce is about executing an orchestra of flawless strategy that aligns with business objectives and meets customer expectations. The following are some steps for this:

Customer Journey Mapping

Customer journey mapping is critical to the success of omnichannel commerce because it provides a comprehensive visualization of a customer's interactions across all touchpoints—both online and offline. It enables businesses to analyze and understand how customers engage with their brand at every stage of their journey, from initial awareness to purchase and beyond.

This helps businesses understand at which stages of the customer journey the customer's behavior and preferences change, so that they can optimize experiences and engage the customer on a deeper level. Customer journey mapping allows brands to track the path customers take through various channels and identify friction points or areas where their needs might not be fully met.

These stages map out how brands align messaging, technology, and services to customer needs at every touchpoint. It ensures customers get the right experience, convenience, and personalization whether they browse on a website, visit a store, use a mobile app, or track an order. A well-crafted customer journey map can help businesses design seamless yet personalized experiences that meet and even surpass customer expectations.

Systems and Channels Integration

All systems need to work together to give you a 360-degree view of every interaction that each customer has with your brand. For example, businesses can adequately run their operations and have stronger customer relations by linking CRM systems with point-of-sale systems and inventory management software.

Establish Balanced Messaging

Achieve a Single Consistent Brand Message. Omnichannel commerce is the only way to attain a single, consistent brand message and experience. Marketing materials, promotional messages, and customer service should all reflect the same voice and branding.

Data Analytics

Start using data analytics to understand what behavior your customers are exhibiting. With this data, you can personalize experiences, create targeted marketing campaigns, and use it to identify potential bottlenecks in the customer journey.

Inventory and Supply Chain Optimization

True real-time inventory visibility across all channels will help to ensure that there is never a stock out, yet not a lot of excess at the same time. Solutions that allow for centralized tracking of stock can do much to reduce inefficiency as well as speed up fulfillment.

Embracing Flexibility and Innovation

Omnichannel commerce is constantly in flux, and new tools and channels are unveiled frequently. Businesses must learn to adapt and innovate to continue to be competitive.

Technology and Software Requirements for Successful Implementation

The right technology stack has to be adopted to back up a strong omnichannel commerce strategy. The main software requirements are:

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems

A robust CRM system allows businesses to track customer interactions, preferences, and purchase history across the board. It supports efforts at personalization and better service to customers by granting access to rich data about customers.

Point-of-Sale (POS) Integration

Modern POS should be online and offline connected to facilitate easy and seamless transactions. They allow BOPIS, pickups from stores for online orders besides returns in-store from orders bought online-the services that customers are demanding more.

Inventory and Order Management Software

Real-time tracking of inventory across all channels is one aspect of avoiding stock outs or selling more than what is available. Centralized order management also ensures that orders get filled up quickly to be delivered on schedule with minimum inconvenience caused to customers while reducing operational costs.

Data Analytics Platforms

Data analytics products aggregate and analyze data coming from different channels. This enables businesses to know where things are going right and where things need improvement-from marketing campaigns to optimizing inventory.

Key Challenges in Omnichannel Commerce and How to Overcome Them

System Integration

System integration from disparate systems, including POS, CRM, and eCommerce platforms, is often a challenge. This is less complicated using API-driven integrations or when working with providers that offer plug-and-play solutions.

Data Management and Analysis

Information from multiple channels can be very unmanageable if not kept straight. One such prime imperative is having a centralized data management system to collate customer information in real time and thereby prevent data silos.

Consistency Across Channels

Stringent control over messaging, price, and product information would ensure a seamless customer experience. Controlling messaging and mistakes with a CMS while automating frequent updates will maintain the integrity of the brand.

Customer Privacy and Data Security

Customer data is the lifeblood of an omnichannel strategy, hence the need for data privacy and security. It is, therefore, key for a retailer to adhere to all the stipulations of data and information management such as GDPR regulations and utilize secure systems that protect customer information.

Omnichannel vs. Unified Commerce

Omnichannel and unified commerce share a common goal: enhancing customer experiences across multiple sales channels. However, they differ significantly in their approach and execution.

Omnichannel Commerce:

Focuses on integrating multiple sales and interaction channels like brick-and-mortar stores, websites, mobile apps, and social media.
Aims to create a consistent and seamless customer experience across these channels.
Allows customers to switch between different channels easily without disrupting their journey.

Unified Commerce:

Centralizes all systems, data, and touchpoints into a single platform.
Provides real-time visibility into customer interactions, inventory, order history, and transaction data across all channels.
Enables faster, more efficient, and highly personalized customer experiences by integrating operations into one system.

Key Differences:

Omnichannel enhances connectivity across different sales paths by focusing on creating a consistent journey.
Unified Commerce offers a more comprehensive solution by integrating data and operations centrally, improving real-time insights and decision-making.

Omnichannel vs. Multichannel

Although the terms multichannel commerce and omnichannel commerce are often used interchangeably, they represent two distinct approaches to retail strategy. Understanding the difference is crucial for businesses aiming to optimize their customer experiences. Here's how they differ:

Integration Across Channels:

Multichannel: Each channel operates independently without coordinating customer data or inventory. For instance, online inventory and physical store inventory may not align.
Omnichannel: All channels are interconnected, creating a unified system. Inventory, customer data, and preferences are shared across all touchpoints, ensuring customers encounter no disruptions when moving between them.

Customer Experience:

Multichannel: Customers may face complications such as repeated information entry, mismatched inventory statuses, or limited visibility into their interactions across platforms.
Omnichannel: The shopping experience is seamless and personalized. Customers can switch channels without any inconsistencies (e.g., checking an item online and purchasing it in-store without difficulty).

Data Usage:

Multichannel: Data is isolated within each channel. Customer insights or behavior patterns across different channels are not shared.
Omnichannel: Data is aggregated into a single system, allowing businesses to gain a 360-degree view of customer behaviors and preferences, leading to improved personalization and engagement.

Operational Efficiency:

Multichannel: Inventory and order fulfillment systems may operate independently, leading to inefficiencies or stockouts.
Omnichannel: Systems are integrated, ensuring real-time inventory visibility and a more efficient, streamlined fulfillment process.

Future of Omnichannel Commerce

Omnichannel commerce is all set to change for the good with technology sitting in the middle. Some future trends are:

AI-Based Personalization

Omnichannel commerce is being made better by artificial intelligence because it will make things much more personal. Machine learning algorithms can analyze gigantic amounts of data to make personalized suggestions, offers, and interactions for each customer.

Voice commerce

Voice-activated assistants are booming and voice commerce might become an integrated part of the omnichannel strategies. Retailers can integrate voice search and shopping capabilities for a convenient, hands-free shopping experience.

AR and VR

AR and VR can be used to enhance customer experience through shopping. Customers can view a product before purchase is made. The use of this technology is already available with several retail powerhouses, who provide an immersive omnichannel shopping experience.

Adoption of Wearables is Increasing

With IoT, so much can be connected and retailers reach customers through new touchpoints like smart appliances. This will push the new frontiers of omnichannel commerce. Customers will have access to unique, integrated experiences.

Sustainability and Ethical Considerations

Future omnichannel strategies need to be sustainable in nature since the consumers are fast becoming more sensitive about environmental issues. The practice would be adopting activities such as an eco-friendly package, ethical sourcing, and in-store pickup as a simple way of reducing emissions linked with delivery.

Conclusion

In today’s technologically driven retail landscape, omnichannel commerce is no longer optional—it has become essential for businesses aiming to meet the expectations of modern customers. Consumers now expect flexible, seamless, and intuitive shopping experiences that connect both online and offline touchpoints. Omnichannel commerce is a proven strategy that allows brands to create these connected experiences by unifying customer interactions across all channels.

Adopting an omnichannel approach offers brands numerous advantages: it improves customer satisfaction, enhances loyalty, and builds long-lasting relationships by creating personalized, frictionless experiences. Moreover, through technologies like CRM, real-time inventory management, and POS systems, companies can gain visibility into customer behaviors and operational efficiencies. These tools make it easier to manage inventory, reduce stockouts, streamline fulfillment, and personalize customer journeys based on insights derived from customer data analytics.

Omnichannel strategies also prepare brands for future technological shifts such as AI, voice commerce, and augmented reality by creating agile frameworks capable of integrating these advancements without disrupting customer experiences. Retailers who commit to this strategy can lower operational costs, boost inventory management capabilities, and drive higher revenue through deeper customer engagement and loyalty.

The transformational potential of omnichannel commerce lies in its ability to connect every interaction a customer has with a brand, thereby creating opportunities to improve both experiences and operational performance. In a digital economy shaped by technological advancements and consumer expectations, investing in omnichannel commerce is an opportunity to stay competitive, innovative, and customer-focused.

EU Digital Product Passport: A Comprehensive Guide

What is a Digital Product Passport?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record containing all the information relating to a product’s lifecycle. Any and all information such as the product’s origin, the materials used for making it, the impact it has on the environment, disposal, and recycling viability at the end-of-life are included in the digital product passport. The aim of DPP as proposed by the EU is to make products more sustainable and thereby promote a circular economy model.

The Purpose of Digital Product Passport

The driving factor behind the digital product passport initiative from the EU is to promote a sustainable and circular economy by reducing wastage and conserving resources by reusing them along with making product lifecycle more transparent.

There are two main goals here:

Take the next step in sustainability
Make product information as transparent as possible

The goal of digital product passports is to make product-related data accessible to everyone so that we know how a product is made, what it is made of, where it was made, and how to recycle the product.

DPP proposes to include the entire lifecycle information of a product, from source materials to end of life management. The information proposed to be included in DPP is unavailable in the current system, making DPP a significant improvement over the current system.

By providing detailed information about products such as its origin, materials, environmental impact, etc., DPP helps both businesses and consumers alike. Consumers can make informed decisions during purchase and businesses like supply chain partners can stay compliant and support the circular economy initiative.

Since DPP is not applicable for just companies in the EU, companies across the world should start planning for DPP if they plan to sell products within the EU, even if the product does not originate from the EU.

DPP is important for companies that plan to enter the EU market in the future as well since DPP will become mandatory by 2026 for some industries of importance.

In addition, staying compliant, especially for non-EU companies, gives them a competitive advantage over companies that are not yet compliant.

The Role of Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) in DPP

CEAP aka Circular Economy Action Plan was the triggering regulation for digital product passports. The goal of CEAP is to enable sustainable product design and manufacturing, reduce waste, and recycle as much as possible.

The European Green Deal

The European Green Deal is the broader picture and CEAP is only a part of it. The Green Deal aims to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050.

Circular Economy Action Plan

Instead of the current model of manufacture, consumption, and disposal, the EU is pushing for the process to be circular. In the circular model, instead of fully disposing of a product, it should be recycled and reused as much as possible. Even if the entire product cannot be recycled, some of its components must be recycled.

To know what’s reusable and what’s not, we need to know what a product is made up of and that’s where DPP comes into play.

There are some other EU regulations that are connected to CEAP.

Circular Textiles Strategy

This is another part of the CEAP that is specifically aimed at the textile industry. Since textiles are one of the industries that produce a lot of waste, it is crucial to implement CEAP in textiles.

The Battery Directive

The battery directive is a regulatory framework created just for batteries since they are one of the large sources of waste and are hard to dispose of and recycle. Since there is a rise in electric vehicles (EV) and the EU wants to make EVs sustainable, there is a special focus on batteries in CEAP. The goal just like other products mandated in CEAP is to enable circularity and enhance the reusability of batteries.

What Does the DPP Look Like?

We understand that DPP contains all the information relating to a product. But what does a digital product passport look like?

DPP is a digital record. Meaning, it is to be accessed electronically. What that can look like for consumers is a mechanism for scanning, like a QR code, NFC, RFID, barcode, etc., and a platform that will display the information.

In layman’s terms, if you scan the QR code on a product you purchased, your phone will just open a browser window or a pre-installed application that contains the information about the product you scanned.

Such a system is nothing new. Most companies out there already have a website.

What makes DPP different is the type of information that’s displayed. The EU regulation makes it clear that the entire lifecycle of the product must be included in the DPP.

If we take a step further, a separate QR code can be provided for consumers and partners. Consumers might not need to see very detailed and technical data whereas vendors, distributors, and partners can benefit from all the details of a product.

Proprietary information can be hidden or given access to specific users, which can be protected via login credentials.

What Needs to be Included: Data Requirements & Components for Digital Product Passport

EU has specified the type of data that’s required for products. The type of data can change for each industry and type of product. The important core data are:

Product Identification

Products need a unique identifier for them to be recognizable and to be able to connect to the data stored in DPP.

Materials and Origins

The materials used in the production of each product along with the origin information are required along with sourcing data. This includes the recyclability of each raw material as well since the objective is to identify how much of a product’s components can be reused.

Environmental Impact

This is related to how environmental damage an item can create, and the carbon footprint of the product throughout its production lifecycle. The energy and resource consumption information also need to be included.

Safety and Compliance

Products have to stay compliant with certain regulations depending on their type. Safety and compliance data refers to information on regulatory standards the product has to meet, health and safety information, warnings, and other risk mitigation information for the safe handling of the product.

Repair and Maintenance

Repairing products is important for CEAP as it reduces wastage. How repairable a product is, past repair data, and the availability of spare parts and other components needed for repair and maintenance are to be included in DPP.

Ownership, and history

The ownership history, along with the supply chain history of the product and its components.

Disposal Information

What to do with the product at the end of life and how to dispose or reuse the product or its components.

Digital Product Passport Implementation Timeline

Even though the European Green Deal has set a deadline of 2050, the implementation deadline for DPP is much sooner. The pilot program for certain industries has already started. Currently, the objective is to gather information on how the standard needs to be.

As per the timeline provided currently, 2026 will be the transition year to move from planning to the implementation phase for industries with significant environmental impact.

This means textiles, electronics and batteries are the first to begin implementation.

Mandatory requirements for certain product categories, such as batteries, will follow in 2027.

The new EU Battery Regulation mandates that starting in February 2027, all traction batteries, two-wheeled vehicle batteries, and industrial batteries with a capacity of over 2 kWh must have a digital EU battery passport. This also applies to LMT (light means of transport) batteries used in e-bikes and e-scooters.

Industries and Products that need to Implement DPP

DPP will need to be implemented in all industries that produce products. There are some important sectors that will need this done earlier than others due to the amount of wastage such products create.

Batteries

Batteries are one of the most important products expected to be managed under CEAP as battery usage has skyrocketed after the growth of the electric vehicles industry. It is also hazardous and difficult to dispose of and recycle.

Textiles and Fashion

Textiles and fashion industry produce waste in large quantities. Information on the materials of origin, dyeing process, and recyclability of clothes are expected to make this industry more sustainable.

Electronics

Electronics such as smartphones and laptops are being purchased at least every two years by most consumers, which creates large amounts of waste. Just like batteries, electronic components are harder to recycle and dispose of, making the electronics industry one of the primary targets of the CEAP.

Implementing DPP: Challenges

The major challenge in implementing DPP is the data itself.

DPP mandates all product information to be made available in a uniform digital format.

Collecting, maintaining, and standardizing the data is more challenging than implementing the technical infrastructure needed to store the data.

Scattered and Fragmented Data

To begin with, there is no standardized format that companies follow at the moment to maintain all the information needed for DPP.

Although the information is available, it is often dispersed across multiple sources.

All this data needs to be brought together and stored in a centralized system for it to be accessible from a single interface.

Data Quality Issues

Since there was no need to maintain the type of data (origin, materials, etc.) required for DPP, compiling them for the first time would result in serious data quality issues.

Companies would have to invent processes and workflows for collecting and validating the data.

Automation and Process Challenges

Since most companies do not have the digital infrastructure to create information for DPP, it would be a challenge to consolidate everything into one place.

Manual data migration could take a long time, so automation is more effective. Also, a process needs to be developed for consolidating, verifying, and then centralizing the data.

The Role of Product Information Management (PIM) Solutions in DPP

Product Information Management, aka PIM, is a solution that has existed for a long time. The purpose of a PIM system is to store and manage product information.

Until now, PIM systems have been used as a single source of truth for product data. This data would then be displayed across various channels, such as websites, mobile apps, portals, etc.

There are two of the major pillars of technology required for DPP:

A mechanism to store product data
A delivery and distribution system for customers and vendors to access the product data

A PIM system can be part of the solution for this requirement.

PIM systems can be customized to store additional information needed for DPP.

This does not mean that a PIM system can act as a DPP. Instead, the PIM system can potentially become one of the pillar components of DPP and can work together with other systems to realize DPP.

A headless PIM system is an asset for implementing DPP because:

Data management can be centralized
Making changes to product data is easier using the visual editors available in most PIM systems
PIM systems are usually compliant with regulations
Integration with existing systems is possible

The Digital Product Passport requires comprehensive documentation and proof across the entire supply chain, including certificates, to ensure full transparency throughout the entire product lifecycle. All the relevant technical data can be centrally managed within the PIM system. Certificates and other documentation can be stored, managed, and directly assigned to the respective products or components, enabling efficient and compliant data management.

Implementation Strategy for DPP

More planning is needed in identifying the data and deciding on a structure for the data rather than the implementation of a software solution for storing the data.

The data requirements for DPP are complex. We not only have to include the product information, but the entire lifecycle and raw material information also have to be included to be compliant.

Decide Data Standards and Requirements

The first step is identifying the data to be stored and creating a hierarchy and model for the data. A standardized data structure makes it easy to maintain .

Collaborate with Partners

Close collaboration with the individuals that consume the information stored in DPP is required to ensure that the solution is effective. Understand their data requirements and incorporate them into the plan.

Building the Digital Infrastructure

Choose the best solution for storing the data. PIM systems make an ideal candidate for DPP. Keep in mind that the DPP and CEAP are in the early stages and can evolve and change in the upcoming year. So, it is critical to choose a PIM system that can adapt quickly to changes and at the same time stay compliant with all the data protection requirements in the EU.

Do Companies Outside the EU Require DPP?

Regardless of a company’s location, if they intend to sell products within the EU, they should have DPP. Remember the goal is to create a circular economy within the EU, which is only possible if all the companies that operate and sell within the EU stay compliant.

Final Words

DPP is new to the business world and is still in the planning and evolving phase. But the tight deadline makes it important to act on it as quickly as possible. The industries that could be affected should start planning for DPP as soon as possible to stay compliant.

NovaDB on STACKIT: A Sovereign Cloud Solution for Data Compliance and Security

Navigating the complexities of data protection is more important than ever in our interconnected world. The GDPR is one of the most robust data protection laws globally, designed to ensure secure and responsible data management within the European Union (EU). While it enforces strict guidelines on how data is processed and stored, it does not mandate that all data be exclusively processed or stored within the EU. Instead, the regulation allows for cross-border data transfers, provided that adequate safeguards are implemented to ensure privacy and security.

With global cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud operating outside of Europe, organizations have faced challenges in maintaining compliance and data sovereignty. One key factor is the CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act), a U.S. regulation allowing U.S. authorities to access data held by U.S.-based companies, even when stored on servers outside the U.S. This poses potential conflicts with local laws like the EU GDPR and raises concerns about unauthorized access and violations of data sovereignty.

Data sovereignty has become a critical concern for businesses seeking to protect sensitive information, especially those in industries such as healthcare, finance, ecommerce and public sector. These industries require strict compliance with regulations such as GDPR to protect privacy and reduce risks related to cross-border data transfers.

In response to these challenges, STACKIT, the digital brand of Schwarz IT KG and a part of the Schwarz Group, which also includes Lidl and Kaufland, offers a sovereign cloud environment with a strong focus on data security and compliance. STACKIT provides organizations with a fully compliant platform, ensuring that data remains within Germany, aligned with GDPR regulations. Furthermore, Noxum, a trusted provider of information management solutions, has tested NovaDB for compatibility with STACKIT’s Kubernetes Engine. This combination delivers a sovereign database solution, ensuring enterprises meet their data protection needs while avoiding vendor lock-in.

This blog explores how NovaDB on STACKIT addresses the critical concerns of data sovereignty, compliance, and security for organizations seeking independence from global cloud providers.

The Rise of Data Sovereignty and GDPR Compliance

The introduction of GDPR has reshaped how organizations process, store, and protect personal data. GDPR aims to give individuals more control over their personal data and imposes strict requirements for data processing within the EU. One key aspect of GDPR is data protection, which ensures that personal data is handled securely, whether processed within the EU or transferred outside it, as long as adequate safeguards are in place.This regulation has had a profound impact on how businesses approach cloud computing, as relying on global providers like AWS or Microsoft Azure risks non-compliance with GDPR requirements.

Organizations operating in the EU must now ensure that data is processed, stored, and accessed in a manner that adheres to GDPR guidelines. The risk of heavy fines and reputational damage has driven businesses to seek cloud solutions that offer data sovereignty, security, and control. The increasing preference for sovereign cloud providers such as STACKIT reflects this growing demand.

However, global cloud providers have long operated with infrastructure outside the EU, raising concerns over data residency and compliance. While these providers offer a vast array of services, their infrastructure often places data under the jurisdiction of countries with differing privacy regulations, such as the U.S. For organizations concerned with GDPR compliance, these factors have created an environment of uncertainty.

The EU Battery Passport Explained

What is the Battery Passport?

The Battery Passport is a digital record containing the entire lifecycle information of batteries. Battery Passport is mandated by the EU and should contain information regarding materials and their origin, carbon footprint and environmental impact, disposal and recycling details. The purpose of the Battery Passport is to promote the circular economy and to recycle and reuse batteries and raw materials as much as possible, with minimal impact on the environment.

Digital Product Passport Vs Battery Passport

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a broad EU initiative promoting transparency, traceability, and sustainability across various product sectors, while the Battery Passport (BPP) is a specific implementation tailored to the battery industry. The BPP, mandated by the EU Battery Regulation starting in 2027, provides detailed lifecycle information for batteries, including raw material origin, carbon footprint, and recyclability. It acts as a pilot for the DPP, using shared standards and technologies to ensure data integrity and traceability.

Why is the EU Introducing DPP and the Battery Passport?

Sustainability and transparency are the two main objectives of both the Digital Product Passport and the Battery Passport. It all started with the European Green Deal that aims to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050. The CEAP (Circular Economy Action Plan) was created as part of the European Green Deal, to promote a circular economy where products are reused as much as possible.

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is applicable for all the products sold in the EU. Batteries, Electronics, and Textiles are some of the industries that must implement DPP first since these sectors create most of the waste.

A separate product passport for batteries (Battery Passport) was proposed because highly specific data points such as carbon footprint, material composition, recycling efficiency, etc. are necessary for managing battery lifecycle data. These requirements can’t be met by the generic data structure of DPP.

With the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, the EU anticipates that battery recycling and disposal will become a significant challenge. To address these expected changes, the EU Battery Regulation, a legal framework for managing batteries, was introduced in 2023.

Features of Battery Passport: What’s to be Included?

We have discussed what a digital product passport is and what its data requirements are in a previous article.

The data requirements for Battery Passport differ from those for DPP, as special data points must be processed for the management of batteries.

Battery Passport, similar to the DPP is a digital record that can be accessed electronically via various mediums such as QR code, NFC, etc. Different types of users will have access to relevant information.

For example, end users will get more details and sustainability metrics on the batteries they are looking to buy whereas manufacturers, vendors, and supply chain partners will have access to detailed lifecycle, compliance, and material sourcing data.

Different types of information to be included in the Battery Passport are:

General Information

General information refers to basic data such as:

Unique battery ID (for traceability)
Manufacturer details
Weight, dimensions, etc.

Origin and Material Information

Tracking material origin ensures compliance with sustainability and ethical sourcing regulations.

Battery Passport must provide details on:

Raw material sources – Where were the materials extracted?
Mining and production locations
Composition – What percentage of the battery consists of recycled vs. virgin materials
Energy consumption and carbon footprint during material extraction and battery production
Hazardous substances used in the battery

Carbon Footprint

It refers to the carbon footprint not only during battery production but also the possible carbon emissions during the entire life cycle of the battery including:

Manufacturing emissions
Energy consumption during use
End-of-life impact (e.g., emissions from disposal or recycling)

State of Health, Performance, and Durability

Battery performance deteriorates over time and information on battery health is important to know how long someone can keep using it. The capacity, health, efficiency, and remaining lifecycle information are expected to be included in the Battery Passport for this purpose.

Compliance Information

Batteries must adhere to EU regulations and industry standards to ensure safety and sustainability compliance, The Battery Passport will confirm:

Compliance with the EU Battery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542)
Certification status and safety standards
Environmental and sustainability commitments

Tracing Supply Chain

Transparency is a key goal of the Battery Passport. This section provides information such as:

Supply chain journey – Where the battery traveled before reaching the market
Suppliers and processing facilities involved in manufacturing
Ethical sourcing information

Recyclability of Materials

This is an important metric to ensure reusability and a circular economy. The raw materials used to create the battery should be as recyclable as possible. Since each material has a different recycling capacity, granular detail on each element is expected. The passport must provide insights into:

Recyclability percentage for each material
Potential for reuse in second-life applications
Recycling processes and recovery efficiency

Disposal and Reusing

Not all battery components can be recycled. Since batteries contain hazardous elements, it is important to include details on how to dispose of such components and elements.

Role-Based Access to Data

Since a Battery Passport will be a digital record and is expected to be accessed via the Internet, a role-based access system might be required to ensure only relevant data is shared with the right people. Consumers would get performance, durability, and recyclability-related information, whereas businesses should get access to detailed composition, carbon footprint, and compliance data.

Benefits of Battery Passport

Cost Saving via Better Recycling

Battery Passport provides precise data on the material composition of batteries, thereby improving recyclability and reducing costs for manufacturing batteries. By optimizing the reuse of materials, manufacturers can streamline battery production and reduce dependency on newly extracted raw materials.

Support Circular Economy

Battery Passport supports the circular economy by encouraging the recycling and reuse of materials. Detailed data on battery components allows companies to disassemble batteries more efficiently, maximizing material recovery and reducing waste. Reduce carbon footprint

By providing data on the overall carbon footprint of each battery, from material sourcing to end-of-life, Battery Passports help reduce the carbon footprint by identifying sources of high carbon emission areas and promote low-carbon production strategies. It also supports recycling efforts, further reducing environmental impact.

Transparent Supply Chain

Battery Passport should contain information on the source of materials along with the path it has traveled before it became a battery. By ensuring traceability, it promotes ethical sourcing, responsible production, and compliance with sustainability regulations.

Challenges and Solutions

Technical Challenges

Since Battery Passports are a digital solution, one of the primary challenges with implementation is preparing the technical infrastructure and collection and standardization of data.

Data Collection and Integration

The data required for creating the Battery Passport is not stored in a centralized manner at the moment. The data may not even exist in certain organizations. If it does, it probably is scattered across multiple teams and departments. One of the major challenges is to consolidate all the data into one place and then create a standardized format for storing and updating this data in the future.

Data Security

The large amount of data that gets stored requires adequate security and privacy while ensuring transparency. It’s tricky to share access to only the required information without revealing sensitive information.

High Cost and Resources for SMEs

Preparing something like a Battery Passport requires both technical infrastructure and human resources. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), these costs can be significant, posing a barrier to adoption.

A Short Timeline for Implementation

The deadline for implementing the Battery Passport is February 2027 for Light Means of Transport (LMT) batteries, and industrial batteries above 2kWh to be made available with a Battery Passport.

For any other type of battery, the deadline is not mandated as of now.

Technical Infrastructure for Implementation

The technical infrastructure for the Battery Passport is essentially the same as a digital product passport, which we have covered already.

Mastering Product Information Management: Best Practices for Success

In today's fast-paced, data-driven business environment, Product Information Management (PIM) has become essential for managing and delivering consistent, accurate product data across multiple channels. By adopting best practices in PIM, businesses can enhance their operational efficiency, improve customer experiences, and maintain their competitiveness in an increasingly digitized business environment.

Understanding PIM: The Foundation

Product Information Management (PIM) refers to the systems and processes businesses use to centralize, manage, and distribute product data. A well-executed PIM strategy is vital for ensuring that product information is accurate, up-to-date, and accessible to all stakeholders, helping streamline workflows and foster better collaboration across departments.

Why the Best Practices Matter in PIM

Without an effective PIM strategy, businesses frequently encounter challenges such as data silos, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies. These issues can lead to delays, errors in product listings, and a fragmented customer experience. By following PIM best practices, companies can realize numerous benefits, such as improved operational efficiency, enhanced customer satisfaction, and more informed decision-making.

Key Strategies for Effective Product Information Management

Centralize Your Product Data

Having a single, unified source of truth for all product information is essential for consistency and accuracy. A centralized PIM system allows businesses to manage product details in one place, reducing errors and ensuring that everyone in the organization is working with the same data. This requires integrating data from various sources—such as suppliers, internal systems, or other departments—into a robust PIM solution to ensure streamlined access and data integrity.

Train and Prepare Your Team

For PIM to be effective, it’s crucial that employees and stakeholders are aligned on its purpose and usage. Provide comprehensive training to ensure that everyone understands how to use the PIM system, how to input data correctly, and how to access and distribute information. A trained team minimizes errors, enhances data consistency, and improves cross-departmental collaboration.

Ensure Data Accuracy and Completeness

Accurate and complete product data is fundamental to effective PIM implementation. Inaccurate or missing information can result in customer dissatisfaction and operational inefficiencies. Regularly audit your data to maintain accuracy and ensure that all product attributes are included. Establish processes to continually update and verify product information, making sure it remains reliable and trustworthy across all platforms.

Adopt a Consistent Taxonomy and Categorization

A well-structured product hierarchy and standardized attributes play a pivotal role in organizing product information efficiently. Establishing a consistent taxonomy ensures that products are categorized properly, making it easier to search and access product data. A clear and uniform categorization system helps both internal teams and customers find what they need quickly and accurately, enhancing the overall user experience.

Enable Multichannel Distribution

In today’s omnichannel world, it's vital to distribute product data seamlessly across various sales channels, including websites, marketplaces, and physical stores. A PIM system with multichannel functionality ensures that product information remains consistent across all touchpoints. By using API-based PIM systems, businesses can enable real-time updates, ensuring that any changes to product data are reflected instantly across all platforms, improving accuracy and customer satisfaction.

Integrate with Upstream and Downstream Systems

For a seamless and efficient ecosystem, integrate your PIM system with upstream systems like ERP and CRM, as well as downstream platforms such as CMS and e-commerce solutions. This integration ensures a seamless flow of product data, reducing the risk of inconsistencies. Real-time synchronization between systems is key to maintaining up-to-date information, preventing errors, and improving decision-making.

Invest in Scalability and Flexibility

To ensure long-term success, it's crucial to choose PIM solutions that are built for growth and can easily adapt to evolving market demands. As your business expands, the volume of product information and the complexity of distribution will likely increase. PIM systems with a modular architecture enable easy scaling, allowing new features to be added or integrations with other systems as required Additionally, an API-first approach ensures seamless integration with existing and future technologies, offering flexibility as your business evolves and enters new markets.

Prioritize Data Governance and Security

Effective data governance is essential to maintain control over product information and safeguard sensitive data. Establishing clear roles and permissions for team members involved in data management helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures accountability. It's also critical to align your PIM practices with data privacy regulations, such as GDPR or CCPA, to avoid legal risks. Implementing security protocols, including encryption and regular audits, protects your product data from cyber threats and ensures compliance with relevant industry standards.

Enhance Collaboration Across Teams

PIM isn't just a tool for managing product data—it also serves as a central hub that fosters collaboration across departments. Encouraging alignment between marketing, IT, product development, and customer support teams is essential for delivering consistent and accurate product information. A well-implemented PIM system streamlines workflows, reduces duplication of efforts, and ensures that all departments have access to the most up-to-date information. Using PIM to manage approval processes ensures faster decision-making and reduces bottlenecks that can delay time-to-market.

Set Up Workflows for Data Approval and Maintenance

Establishing clear workflows for product data entry, review, and approval is essential for maintaining the quality and accuracy of your product information. Clearly defined roles and responsibilities in these workflows help prevent errors and ensure that all critical data is accounted for. Regularly auditing your product data for outdated or irrelevant information and archiving it systematically helps keep your PIM system clean and efficient. A well-maintained database ensures that only accurate, relevant data is shared with your customers, improving the overall experience.

Optimize for Localization and Globalization

As businesses expand internationally, it’s essential to adapt product information to meet the needs of diverse regions, languages, and cultural preferences. Localization involves more than just translating text—it requires tailoring product descriptions, images, and specifications to resonate with local markets. A PIM system that supports localization and globalization ensures that product data can be easily customized and distributed across various markets, helping your business connect with customers worldwide.

Leverage Automation and AI Tools

Automation is key to reducing manual errors and enhancing operational efficiency. By automating repetitive tasks such as data entry, validation, and updating, businesses can free up valuable time for teams to focus on more strategic initiatives. Additionally, AI tools can provide valuable insights through predictive analytics, helping to identify trends, forecast demand, and enhance product content. AI-powered tools help optimize product data by identifying relevant keywords, product attributes, and even generating descriptions based on consumer preferences and search behavior.

Tools and Technologies to Support PIM Best Practices

When selecting the right PIM solution, it's essential to evaluate several key criteria. Look for tools that offer robust data management capabilities, seamless integration with other business systems, and support for both structured and unstructured data. Consider solutions that provide intuitive user interfaces and scalability to accommodate future growth. Additionally, ensure that the PIM system aligns with your business goals and offers flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. A comprehensive, user-friendly platform will help you streamline operations, enhance collaboration, and deliver consistent, accurate product information across all touchpoints.

Conclusion

Implementing effective Product Information Management (PIM) practices is vital for businesses striving to deliver accurate, consistent, and timely product data across various sales channels. By prioritizing scalability, data management, cross-departmental collaboration, and automation, companies can develop a PIM strategy that meets current requirements while positioning them for future success in an evolving digital landscape.

Headless CMS vs. traditional CMS: Key differences you need to consider

In today's fast-paced digital world, selecting the right content management system (CMS) is essential for delivering seamless, engaging, and personalized customer experiences. Businesses are faced with two primary options: Headless CMS and Traditional CMS, each offering distinct advantages depending on their digital strategy and scalability needs. Both are designed to manage content, but they differ fundamentally in their architecture, functionality, and use cases. Marketing and product managers must understand these differences to determine the best approach for their organizations’ digital strategy.

In this article, we’ll explore the differences between Headless CMS and Traditional CMS, breaking down their key features, benefits, and challenges. We’ll look at important factors like customizability, scalability, security, omnichannel delivery, and e-commerce capabilities, so you can make a well-informed decision when choosing the right CMS for your business. Whether you’re looking for flexibility, simplicity, or a more integrated approach, we’ll help you navigate the options and find what best suits your needs.

What is Traditional CMS

A Traditional CMS is a content management system that integrates both the back-end content management and the front-end content delivery in a single system. This means that the system is responsible for storing, managing, and displaying content on websites, blogs, and other digital channels. Some of the most popular traditional CMS platforms include WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.

Traditional CMS platforms often come with pre-built themes and templates, making it easier for marketers, content creators, and administrators to publish content without requiring technical expertise. The front-end and back-end components are tightly coupled, meaning that changes made to the content management layer directly affect the way content is displayed on the front-end. While this integrated system is user-friendly and easy to manage, it can present limitations in terms of flexibility, scalability, and customization.

Ease of Use:

Traditional CMS platforms are typically more user-friendly and require little technical expertise to manage day-to-day operations. Non-technical users, such as content managers or marketers, can easily create and publish content without needing to understand coding or web development.

All-in-One Solution:

Traditional CMS platforms offer an integrated approach, combining content management and content delivery in one system. This simplifies the management process, making it easier to handle updates, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

Community Support:

Popular traditional CMS platforms have extensive communities of users, developers, and support resources. This makes it easier to find help, tutorials, and plugins that extend the functionality of the CMS.

Disadvantages of Traditional CMS

Limited Flexibility:

Traditional CMS platforms are limited in terms of customization, particularly when businesses need unique front-end designs or complex digital experiences.

Challenges with Scalability:

As businesses grow and require more digital touchpoints, traditional CMS platforms can struggle to scale and manage multiple channels simultaneously.

Security Risks:

Traditional CMS platforms can be more vulnerable to security breaches, particularly if they rely heavily on third-party plugins and extensions.

Advantages of Headless CMS

Customizability:

Headless CMS platforms offer unparalleled flexibility, allowing businesses to create tailored user experiences for every channel. This makes it ideal for brands with unique design requirements or complex content delivery needs.

Scalability:

Headless CMS platforms are built for scalability. Businesses can easily add new digital touchpoints without disrupting the content management system, enabling rapid growth and expansion.

Omnichannel Capabilities:

Headless CMS platforms enable true omnichannel content delivery, ensuring that content can be distributed across websites, mobile apps, IoT devices, and other digital platforms seamlessly.

Disadvantages of Headless CMS

Complexity:

Headless CMS platforms are more complex to set up and maintain than traditional CMS platforms. Businesses may require developers with technical expertise to manage both the front-end and back-end systems.

Cost:

While the initial implementation of a Headless CMS may require a higher investment due to its decoupled architecture, the long-term operational costs are often lower compared to monolithic systems. Unlike traditional CMS platforms, which require frequent and sometimes costly upgrades to maintain performance and security, a Headless CMS benefits from a more modular and API-driven approach, reducing the need for extensive system overhauls. Additionally, lower infrastructure and hosting costs—especially when leveraging cloud-native solutions—can make ongoing maintenance more cost-effective. For businesses prioritizing long-term scalability and omnichannel content delivery, a Headless CMS offers a future-proof investment with a strong return on investment.

When to Choose Traditional CMS

Small to Medium-Sized Businesses:

Traditional CMS platforms are ideal for small to medium-sized businesses that want a simple, cost-effective solution for managing content without needing complex customization or technical expertise.

Single-Channel Operations:

If your business primarily operates on a single platform (such as a website) and doesn’t require omnichannel capabilities, a traditional CMS is a practical choice.

Rapid Deployment:

If you need to deploy a website quickly and easily, traditional CMS platforms are generally faster to set up and require less technical overhead.

When to Choose Headless CMS

Large Enterprises:

Headless CMS is perfect for large organizations with complex, multi-channel marketing needs. If your business is scaling rapidly or has content delivery requirements across various touchpoints, headless CMS offers the flexibility and scalability you need.

E-Commerce:

If you operate an e-commerce business that requires seamless integration with multiple platforms and personalized content delivery, headless CMS provides a powerful solution.

Omnichannel Experience:

If delivering consistent, personalized experiences across websites, mobile apps, and other platforms is a priority, a headless CMS is the best choice.

Future Perspective

The future of content management is undoubtedly moving toward more flexible and customizable systems. As technology continues to evolve, businesses will increasingly demand solutions that offer more control, scalability, and integration capabilities. Headless CMS will continue to lead the charge, particularly in businesses that are focused on providing omnichannel experiences and personalized content at scale.

At the same time, Traditional CMS will remain a viable option for simpler, single-channel operations where ease of use and speed are key considerations. As more businesses transition to headless systems, traditional CMS platforms may adapt by offering more modular and decoupled options to meet the growing demand for flexibility.

Ultimately, the choice between headless and traditional CMS comes down to your business's current needs, future growth plans, and digital strategy. Understanding these platforms' strengths and weaknesses will help you choose the right solution for long-term success.

Conclusion

Choosing between a Headless CMS and a Traditional CMS is a decision that requires careful consideration of your business's goals, technological requirements, and user experience priorities. While traditional CMS platforms remain an excellent choice for many businesses, the flexibility, scalability, and omnichannel capabilities of headless CMS make it the ideal choice for companies looking to scale and deliver personalized content across multiple platforms.

Your choice of CMS should align with your business goals, content strategy, and long-term scalability needs. While traditional CMS platforms offer simplicity and ease of use, headless CMS solutions like NovaDB empower businesses with the flexibility, security, and omnichannel capabilities needed to thrive in a digital-first world.

\"Equal to\" / \"Not equal to\" (for strings up to 64 characters in length)
\"Greater than,\" \"Less than,\" \"Greater than or equal to,\" \"Less than or equal to\"
\"Unset\" (to find undefined values)

Additionally, a search is now automatically triggered when a search value is changed. This saves time and simplifies working with large data volumes.

More Control Over Managing Application Packages

The previous feature \"Import Application Packages\" has been renamed to \"Manage Application Packages\" and now offers enhanced functionalities:

Direct Integration with OCI Registry: Packages can be provided as artifacts in an OCI registry and imported or updated directly from there.

The configuration of the TinyMCE editor has also been optimized: Attributes of the SimpleHtml type can now be configured to allow only specific functions such as tables, lists, or superscript and subscript. Additionally, allowed paragraph styles can be configured at the attribute level to ensure a consistent layout.

More Efficient Work with Templates and Improved Search

NovaDB 3.2 simplifies the object creation process with the new value template feature. Users can save values entered in a creation dialog as personal templates and reuse them the next time. This function saves time and ensures a consistent data structure.

The improved object search ensures that search results are available faster. The search starts immediately with any change in the form without blocking it. The last search result remains visible until a new query is successfully completed. Additionally, the search form remains editable at all times, even while a search is running.

New Features for Job and Workflow Management

NovaDB 3.2 introduces a new overview page for job definitions. All jobs of a current branch can now be conveniently listed, filtered, and sorted.

There are also practical improvements for work packages:

The \"No Workflow State\" column can now be collapsed for better clarity.
Columns now contain an object count directly in the header.
The dialog for unsaved changes includes a new \"Save and Continue\" option.
Validation errors are highlighted at the attribute, form, and object level, making it easier to identify invalid inputs.

Headless CMS vs WordPress: How To Choose One

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a traditional monolithic Content Management System (CMS) known for its ease of use and vast ecosystem of themes and plugins. As a highly popular open-source platform, WordPress allows users to manage content and design from a single interface, making it ideal for small businesses, bloggers, and simple websites.

What is a Headless CMS?

A Headless CMS, such as NovaDB Headless CMS, separates or decouples the backend content repository from the frontend presentation layer. This architecture allows content to be distributed across various platforms and channels via APIs, providing flexibility and scalability for modern content strategies.

Headless CMS vs WordPress

Headless CMS

Since the frontend and backend are separate, the CMS provides built-in SEO functionality that is customizable and can be adapted to the specific needs of each business, depending on the frontend solution used. However, you have full control over how SEO is implemented, meaning developers can optimize the site to an extremely granular level.

Ease of Use

WordPress

Known for its user-friendly interface, WordPress is accessible to non-technical users. It’s easy to install themes, plugins, and make changes through the dashboard. No coding required for most tasks.

Headless CMS

Setting up the CMS typically requires technical expertise; however, from an end user's perspective, the experience remains largely the same. You’ll also need developers to build out the frontend if using a static site generator or frontend framework.

Choosing Between WordPress and a Headless CMS

Choosing between WordPress and a Headless CMS depends on several factors, including your business needs, the technical capabilities of your team, and your long-term digital strategy. Both platforms have their unique advantages and are suited to different types of projects. Here's a breakdown to help guide your decision.

When to Choose WordPress:

Simplicity and User-Friendliness:

WordPress is known for its ease of use, making it an excellent choice for businesses or individuals who lack extensive technical expertise. It offers an intuitive interface that allows users to manage content, customize websites, and install plugins with minimal technical knowledge. For small to medium-sized businesses, bloggers, and individuals who want to launch a website quickly and manage it without dealing with complex code, WordPress is a great choice.

Faster Time-to-Market:

If you need to get a website up and running quickly, WordPress is the faster option. With a wide variety of pre-designed themes, plugins, and tools, WordPress allows you to set up a professional-looking website with just a few clicks. Whether you’re building an e-commerce site, a blog, or a corporate website, you can leverage WordPress's extensive library of themes and plugins to save development time and effort.

Cost-Effective Solution:

WordPress is an affordable solution for businesses on a tight budget. The platform itself is free, and many hosting providers offer low-cost plans specifically designed for WordPress websites. With minimal development requirements and the vast availability of free or low-cost themes and plugins, WordPress is the go-to choice for businesses that need a cost-effective solution without sacrificing essential features. However, it is important to note that high costs can arise when upgrading to a new version or during a complete website relaunch. One primary factor is that highly tailored elements, custom-developed themes, or specialized plugins often require significant adjustments—or even complete redevelopment—to remain compatible with the new version. Moreover, compatibility issues may demand a thorough review and modification of existing plugins and themes, or even necessitate their complete replacement, which further drives up expenses.

Community Support and Resources:

One of the biggest advantages of WordPress is its massive community. With millions of active users, developers, and experts, you can find countless resources such as tutorials, forums, and documentation to troubleshoot any issues you encounter. Whether you need help installing plugins or customizing themes, WordPress’s community has a wealth of information to guide you.

When to Choose Headless CMS:

Omnichannel Experiences:

A Headless CMS is perfect for businesses that need to deliver content across multiple platforms and devices. Since the backend and frontend are decoupled in a Headless CMS, it enables you to manage content in one place and distribute it seamlessly to various touchpoints, such as mobile apps, websites, kiosks, digital signage, and more. If your business needs a unified content strategy that spans different platforms, Headless CMS provides the flexibility to reach customers wherever they are.

Scalability and Customization:

Headless CMS solutions are designed for businesses with complex, dynamic needs. If you’re running a large e-commerce site, enterprise-level application, or any project that requires significant customization, Headless CMS allows for greater flexibility. It provides developers with the ability to create highly customized user interfaces, workflows, and integrations that align with your unique requirements. This level of control makes it easier to scale your digital presence as your business grows.

Speed and Performance:

With a Headless CMS, content is delivered through APIs, which results in faster page load times, especially for large websites. Since the frontend can be optimized independently from the backend, you can implement modern technologies such as static site generators and single-page applications (SPAs), which can significantly boost site performance. For businesses that prioritize speed and user experience, a Headless CMS is often the better choice.

Future-Proofing and Flexibility:

A Headless CMS gives businesses the freedom to evolve without being locked into a specific frontend. As your technology stack evolves, you can easily swap out the frontend or integrate with new technologies without disrupting your content management. If your company plans to expand its digital ecosystem or explore new technologies in the future, a Headless CMS offers the flexibility to adapt as needed.

Common Misconceptions About Headless CMS

Headless CMS is Only for Developers:

One of the most common misconceptions about Headless CMS is that it is only suitable for businesses with a team of developers. While it is true that a Headless CMS requires technical expertise to set up and manage, it doesn't mean non-developers can’t use it. Once the initial setup is done, content editors can use the CMS to manage content in a similar way to WordPress. The difference is that the content is distributed through APIs, which provides greater flexibility in how it's displayed. NovaDB, for example, is designed to make content management easier for non-technical users while still offering powerful backend capabilities for developers. In fact, NovaDB Headless CMS includes a powerful visual editor that makes it extremely simple for users to create websites, landing pages, and other digital content. With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and WYSIWYG functionality, even non-technical users can modify pages directly, while the content is still distributed via APIs for greater flexibility.

Headless CMS is More Expensive:

Many businesses assume that Headless CMS solutions are inherently more expensive than WordPress. While it's true that Headless CMS platforms can sometimes have higher initial costs due to development and implementation, they can save money in the long run by offering greater scalability, performance, and flexibility. For businesses with complex needs or large-scale operations, the benefits of a Headless CMS may outweigh the upfront investment.

Headless CMS Requires Constant Maintenance:

Another misconception is that Headless CMS requires constant maintenance. While there is some truth to this—especially during the initial setup—once the system is up and running, Headless CMS can be as easy to maintain as WordPress. With platforms like NovaDB, ongoing maintenance is streamlined, making it easier for businesses to stay updated and optimized.

Headless CMS is Only for Large Enterprises:

While Headless CMS is often associated with large-scale businesses or enterprise-level applications, it can be a valuable solution for smaller businesses as well. If you're looking for a highly customized, scalable website with an omnichannel approach, Headless CMS can be tailored to fit your needs, regardless of your company size.

Conclusion

Both WordPress and Headless CMS offer unique benefits and are suited to different use cases. If you need a simple, cost-effective solution with easy-to-use tools and a large support community, WordPress is the ideal choice. On the other hand, if you're looking for scalability, flexibility, and the ability to deliver content across multiple platforms, a Headless CMS like NovaDB is a more suitable option. NovaDB Headless CMS is particularly well-suited for companies that face the challenge of managing and presenting complex data online—whether through websites, webshops, e-procurement systems, or online marketplaces. Its robust, API-first architecture, combined with a powerful visual editor, enables efficient content management and seamless presentation of detailed product information across various channels. Understanding your business needs, technical capabilities, and long-term digital strategy will help you make the right choice between the two platforms.

Flexible, Multi-Stage Workflows for Review and Approval

NovaDB combines highly configurable review and approval workflows with advanced, multi-stage content validation. Administrators can tailor each step—including conditional logic—to reflect specific business rules. They can also assign different stakeholders to approve or reject product data or content at defined checkpoints. This structured yet adaptable approach ensures every item passes the required checks, meets internal standards, and gains clear sign-off before publication. As a result, teams collaborate more smoothly, errors are minimized, decision-making is faster, and overall content quality and compliance improve across departments.

Integration of External Translation Providers
