We are thrilled to announce the successful go-live of an Informatica P360 (PIM System) implementation and integration project for Patterson, an international oral and animal health supply distributor. This milestone marks a significant achievement in our company’s mission to deliver cutting-edge technology and exceptional service to our clients.
The project involved the implementation of the Informatica P360 platform to enable seamless integration with SAP and Patterson’s eCommerce website. Real-time processing of data changes has reduced the time-to-market from three times per week to same-day, significantly enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, the Supplier Portal has laid the foundation for external vendors to submit and maintain data in the future, streamlining the entire process.

Key Business Challenges Behind the P360 Implementation
Patterson required a faster time to market for new product introductions, seamless integration with both SAP and eCommerce, and a clearly defined business process for creating and updating products. They also needed integration with digital assets, printed catalogs, and centralized supplier input for new and existing products. However, they faced several challenges:
- Outdated and slow existing tools
- Processes were not reflective of business needs
- Lack of a centralized master data platform
- Technical complexity of previous integrations
- Decentralized supplier inputs
To address these needs and challenges, Infoverity’s team of experts implemented a Product Information Management (PIM) system, the Informatica P360 platform. This system provided a centralized data management solution. This platform enabled faster data synchronization between SAP and the eCommerce site, ensuring that product information is up to date. The Supplier Portal facilitates direct data submission and maintenance by Patterson on behalf of vendors, reducing manual data entry and errors, and laying the foundation for vendors to manage their own content in the future.
