400 million

euros in annual sales

MEGA eG was founded in Hamburg in 1901. Today, the cooperative has over 1,700 employees and generates sales of around 400 million euros at 125 locations throughout Germany. Stationary trade has always formed the core of the business, which has been supplemented by an online store - an SAP Commerce System - since 2017.

The company used a proprietary image database to organize product images. However, even basic information about the stored images was unclear or inconsistent, such as their resolution, origin or usage rights. With the launch of the online store it also quickly became evident that maintaining the product information was more complex than expected. As the existing image database was unsuitable for seamless, efficient collaboration with the online store, MEGA eG began searching for a powerful DAM system and found its solution in censhare.

"Data used to be scattered all over the company - on hard drives, on laptops, on network drives - so using and preparing content was a time-consuming affair. Today, we are storing and managing data centrally and have automated many time-consuming content processes."

kolb digital as SAP expert

MEGA eG opted for censhare DAM and kolb digital as their implementation partner, a platinum partner of censhare. As a specialist for digital transformation, the latter was able to contribute its extensive experience in the connection of SAP systems - a decisive aspect in choosing the combination of censhare and kolb digital.

The improvements resulting from the use of censhare are immediately tangible. Whereas MEGA eG used to spend a lot of time on manually preparing media data for the online store, today it takes only seconds to update media assets in the online store. For MEGA eG, the project has been an outstanding success and the team is already working on expanding the censhare system for print production.
