Proctor + Stevenson has used the following skills/services in the project.
P+S is the official agency partner of Panasonic. We’ve worked with nine of its companies around the world, developing 164 global websites in 24 languages.
Our in-house software development team recommended the upgrade of a colossal Drupal 7 website to Drupal 8 for the Panasonic Industrial Devices Sales Company of America (PIDSA) - the tech giant's North American division - in order to better serve reams of data in a completely flexible way.
This was Panasonic’s first ‘headless’ Drupal 8 website on an enterprise scale. In addition to making it fully responsive, we organised, streamlined and delivered a monumental amount of real-time data from an eCatalog that was struggling to cope.
The data was fed into an intermediary Product Information Management (PIM) system which was built by P+S and entirely bespoke to Panasonic. The system enables PIDSA users to make changes to the data themselves, giving them more control over how online product information is displayed to customers.
As well as enhanced control, the results mean greater speed, a seamless user experience and a reduction in errors or latency in the back-end system.
A ‘headless’, responsive Drupal 8 website on an enterprise scale. One of the first of its kind.
