Rastor Institute develops the competence of its individual and corporate customers nationwide in key areas of business, offers career and employment services, and acts as an apprentice trainer and organizer of official vocational qualifications. Rastor Institute's customer promise is 'A recognizable change': training, business coaching and career services change operations so that results are truly visible. Rastor Institute began operations in January 2020, when the Marketing Institute and Rastor merged. Rastor Institute wants to highlight the success factors of Finnish companies and the role of personnel as part of profitable growth. Rastor Institute's vision is to be Finland's most sought-after local working life innovator. The guarantee of long-term success has been the effectiveness of work and an excellent reputation in the market, and they are still at the core of its operations.
The Rastor Institute's goal is to use the PIM system to streamline product information management and streamline related processes. With this in mind, the system is intended to be implemented by the summer. The goal is to reduce unnecessary work in product information management: the right information is directly available to those who need it, without internal transfer.
- We want to streamline our infrastructure. We currently have product data spread across three different systems and want it to be centralized in one place. We see that with the PIM system, we get one cornerstone for master data and thus better control over what kind of products we have and what we bring to the market. We also think about it in terms of growth: in the future we will have even more products. We see PIM as a growth accelerator and sales enhancer: product information for different channels can be found in one place – also for sales use, says Mika Siitari, ICT Director at Rastor Institute.
Adeona PIM was selected as the system because it was suitable considering the needs of Rastor Institute.
- We chose Adeona PIM as our PIM system because when the service was presented to us, the Adeona representative was able to explain it well and understood our needs right from the start. It also helped that Adeona's partner Avenla is a supplier we are already familiar with as a builder of web solutions. This way we can get started faster and we don't have to build a multi-vendor environment for this purpose. This makes the implementation smoother, continues Siitari.
